July 31 (Reuters) - Chinese AI firm Moonshot has a computing agreement with Alibaba Group for the use of about 20,000 Nvidia chips, ‌Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The ​Nvidia chip cluster Alibaba provides accounts for a key portion of the computing power behind Moonshot's Kimi models, it added. U.S. export controls on advanced Nvidia chips have made access to computing power a key constraint ⁠for Chinese companies. Moonshot can access Nvidia's newer Blackwell processors through Southeast Asia and is seeking additional chips to train its next AI model, Bloomberg reported. Separately, the roughly ​20,000 Nvidia ​chips Moonshot has access to are from ​the chip giant's earlier Hopper ‌generation, the report said.
