Moonshot, which has released one of China's most advanced AI models, signed a contract in August to rent 32 Super Micro Computer Inc servers equipped with Nvidia's B300 GPUs, the most advanced AI processors available, Bloomberg reported.
The report comes amid growing scrutiny over Nvidia's relationship with China, especially after CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a Chinese businesswoman who was reportedly a spy for Beijing.

Nvidia has been effectively blocked from selling its most advanced chips to China since at least 2022. But local AI developers have found workarounds by renting servers outside China, especially in Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia.
Alibaba and Bytedance, who are also among China's leading AI developers, were seen signing contracts granting them access to offshore Nvidia chips earlier this year.
Super Micro was also involved in a Department of Justice probe regarding illegal chip sales to China by three of its employees.
Tuesday's report also highlights the Chinese AI industry's continued gravitation towards Nvidia, despite Beijing heavily promoting the use of locally developed alternatives.
