KI: Moonshot nutzt Alibaba-Rechenleistung mit Nvidia-Chips
Der chinesische KI-Anbieter Moonshot nutzt über Alibaba die Kapazität von rund 20.000 Nvidia-Chips. Der Fall zeigt einmal mehr Chinas Halbleiter-Abhängigkeit.
Beijing - Chinese AI leader Moonshot has entered into an agreement with Alibaba Group for computing resources to power around 20,000 Nvidia chips, according to sources familiar with the matter. This arrangement highlights China's continued reliance on Western semiconductors to fuel its AI development, as noted in company circles.
According to these sources, hardware represents a significant portion of Moonshot's total computing capacity, which drives its Kimi models. Moonshot unveiled Kimi K3 at the beginning of the month, an open-source AI model that matches leading models from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic in several performance metrics. Alibaba is a major investor in Moonshot, expecting companies backed by it to leverage its cloud services.
However, the two Chinese firms are also competitors, and Kimi, powered by Alibaba's infrastructure, has outperformed Alibaba's own Qwen products in critical performance benchmarks, leading to some disappointment among Alibaba employees who have access to similar training resources.
