Moonshot AI is reported to be in early talks with Microsoft, Amazon, and Google about hosting its Kimi K3 AI model on their cloud platforms, according to Reuters. The company is said to be seeking a revenue-share arrangement that could reach up to 30% of the income those cloud services generate from hosting the model.
The proposed deal would represent a notable type of partnership between a Chinese AI company and major U.S. cloud providers, with Kimi K3 as the product being commercialized through the clouds. The reports frame the discussions as preliminary, with no details released about final terms, scope, or timelines. The Next Web and Seeking Alpha both cite Reuters’ reporting for the core figures and counterparties, focusing on the potential financial structure and the cross-border hosting element.
While the outlets share the same underlying information, their presentation centers on the reported revenue-sharing “moonshot” and the identity of the model (Kimi K3), rather than on operational specifics such as deployment regions, customer access, or compliance requirements.
