Chinese AI lab Moonshot turned to Europe for Nvidia Blackwell access amid U.S. China curbs, sources tell CNBC

Chinese AI developer Moonshot has explored renting Nvidia Blackwell GPUs through European data center providers to bypass United States export restrictions. This move highlights how companies in China are seeking alternative infrastructure routes to maintain access to advanced computing power necessary for training and operating large-scale artificial intelligence models. By targeting European capacity, the lab aims to circumvent trade limitations that currently prevent direct domestic procurement of these high-performance processors.
