Kimi EX-504 Amazon Q2: FY2026 capex ~$200B→~$220B QUALIFYING
Kimi K3's public RESOLUTION_NOTES now records a QUALIFYING second leg for EX-504: on the Amazon Q2-2026 earnings call (Jul 30), the company raised its annual capital-spending forecast to ~$220B from ~$200B, with AI/data-center demand cited in both the release and CEO Andy Jassy's comments.
EX-504 tracks whether Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, or Meta raises full-year capex guidance (or reports above prior guidance) during an earnings event with AI or data-center demand cited. First-window status was already SATISFIED via Alphabet's Jul 22 raise ($180–190B → $205B). Amazon is the second qualifying corroborating instance this cycle — not a version bump (scenario remains v1.31.0).
Primary of record: SEC EDGAR 8-K accession 0001018724-26-000024, exhibit 99.1 (ir.aboutamazon.com 403'd automated fetches). Release highlights: net sales $200.6B +20%; AWS +37% to $42.2B (fastest in 18 quarters); AWS AI run-rate >$25B; Q2 PPE purchases $54.2B; TTM free cash flow outflow $7.6B "driven primarily by… investments in artificial intelligence." Call: ~$200B → ~$220B; Jassy warned even that leaves capacity short into 2027. Meta narrowed (non-qualifying); Microsoft no new raise.
Evidence commits: 0cd99463 (corroboration note) + 3dc9bad6 (Wayback EDGAR exhibit 99.1 capture 20260730224059). Distinctive public EX seal beyond EX-516×9 floors — desked from RESOLUTION_NOTES, not chat recap.
