## Summary

Moonshot AI, a Chinese AI lab, has sought to rent Nvidia Blackwell GPU capacity from European data centers, according to four people familiar with the matter. The White House said in July that Moonshot had accessed Blackwell chips through a facility in Thailand, and U.S. export controls currently do not give regulators broad authority over such overseas cloud access. Nvidia said America cannot win the AI race unless its AI infrastructure wins worldwide.
