Exclusive-China's Moonshot in talks with Microsoft, Amazon, Google over K3 revenue sharing, sources say

RumorProductAug 26, 2026

Moonshot AI is negotiating revenue-sharing agreements with Microsoft, Amazon, and Google to host its Kimi K3 model, three sources told Reuters. The IPO-bound Chinese startup seeks up to 30% of revenue from K3-related services on Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud. Talks are early and may not yield deals; unresolved issues include revenue splits, data access, and token auditing. A deal would be the first such pact between a Chinese AI firm and a major U.S. cloud provider.
