China’s Moonshot AI is negotiating revenue-sharing agreements with Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet’s ‌Google that would allow the U.S. cloud giants to host its blockbuster Kimi ​K3 model, three people familiar with the talks said.

Any deal could mark the ⁠first big revenue-sharing pact between a Chinese AI firm and a major U.S. cloud company.

The discussions highlight how China’s leading AI models, often far cheaper than Western offerings, are gaining traction in the U.S., despite national security concerns ‌in Washington that have led to bans on exports of AI chips to China. They are also taking place despite critical comments about Moonshot from senior U.S. officials.

IPO-bound ‌Moonshot is seeking up to a 30% share of revenue generated from K3-related services on ‌Microsoft’s ⁠Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, according to the sources who declined to be ⁠identified because the discussions are private.
