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, CNBC reports.

A source told CNBC that the European talks came after the White House said in July that Moonshot had accessed Blackwell chips through a facility in Thailand.

U.S. export controls bar shipping these chips to China but do not give regulators broad authority over renting overseas cloud capacity, according to CNBC. Nvidia says America cannot win the AI race unless its AI infrastructure wins worldwide.

U.S. export controls bar shipping these chips to China but do not broadly cover renting them from overseas servers. The White House accused Moonshot in July of using the same route in Thailand, and a source said the European talks came afterward.
