Google added K3 to Vertex Model Garden deployable on Nvidia Blackwell-based A4 and A4X VMs, announced days after OSTP director Michael Kratsios publicly accused Moonshot of large-scale distillation from Anthropic's models. Moonshot's open-weight license requires commercial cloud providers to pay to host Kimi, which is why Google's post thanks Moonshot for the partnership: a US hyperscaler is paying a Chinese lab for hosting rights on US chips for US customers. That combination is drawing explicit calls to be blocked and is the most likely trigger for the next export-control fight.
