Google has begun helping customers run a leading Chinese artificial intelligence system on its US cloud platform, only days after senior White House officials accused the model's developer of copying American AI technology and warned Chinese firms could face sanctions over alleged intellectual property and export‑control breaches.
The move puts one of the world's biggest cloud providers alongside Moonshot AI, the Beijing‑based company behind the open‑weight Kimi K3 model, at the same time as Washington steps up scrutiny of Chinese AI developers and their access to advanced US hardware.
