Moonshot AI Seeks Revenue-Sharing Deals with Big Tech Giants

Moonshot AI is in talks with Microsoft, Amazon, and Google to offer its Kimi K3 model through their cloud platforms. The negotiations aim at a revenue-sharing deal that would see Moonshot receive up to 30% of the earnings from services tied to K3.

The discussions are at an early stage, and it's unclear whether agreements will be reached. Any deal would mark the first major revenue-sharing arrangement between a Chinese AI company and a leading US cloud provider.

Kimi K3 is a 2.8-trillion-parameter open-weight model that has gained attention in third-party evaluations, with some ranking it among the top models for web interface construction and multi-step reasoning problems.
