Moonshot AI SUPPLY CHAIN TRACE

AI CONSUMERS🇨🇳 China

Moonshot AI is a Beijing AI lab founded in 2023 by ex-Meta/Google researcher Yang Zhilin, maker of the Kimi model family. Its July 2026 Kimi K3 release — a 2.8-trillion-parameter open model beating Western rivals on coding benchmarks — triggered a White House allegation that Moonshot used smuggled Nvidia GB300 chips routed through Thailand and distilled Anthropic's models, adding a geopolitical shadow to a funding run that has pushed its valuation from $4.3 billion toward a targeted $50 billion ahead of a Hong Kong IPO.
