Moonshot Secures 20,000 Nvidia H200s via Alibaba for Kimi Model

Moonshot AI reportedly accessed 20,000 Nvidia H200 chips through Alibaba Cloud for its Kimi model. While Alibaba denies supplying H200s specifically, it confirms the chip volume collaboration.

Woofun AI reports that Moonshot AI has secured approximately 20,000 Nvidia computing units via Alibaba Cloud to support its Kimi large language model. Industry insiders identify these units as Nvidia H200 chips, which constitute a significant portion of the model's total computational infrastructure.

Alibaba Cloud denied supplying the specific H200 model but did not refute the collaboration involving roughly 20,000 Nvidia chips. As a major investor and cloud provider for Moonshot, Alibaba faces internal scrutiny after Kimi reportedly surpassed Alibaba's own Thousand Whys model on key performance metrics despite using similar training resources.
