Moonshot AI is migrating its 1-trillion parameter Kimi K2.5 infrastructure to domestic silicon as foreign GPU shortages reach a critical peak in February 2026 🚀 The move bridges a severe compute gap where demand outweighs available supply by a 3:1 margin. This pivot signals a systemic transition toward architectures like Huawei Ascend, decoupling the Chinese AI stack from Western hardware. Moonshot is now prioritizing local co-optimization to secure its scaling roadmap.
