Chinese Company Linked to Alice Huang Obtained Banned Nvidia Chips: Bloomberg
Bloomberg says filings show a company tied to Alice Huang obtained 22 banned Nvidia servers that were later installed at a Shanghai AI facility.
- On Friday, Bloomberg News reported that Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing, a firm founded by Alice Huang, obtained banned Nvidia H800 chips; the acquisition's method and Huang's involvement remain unclear.

- Documents submitted to the Chinese government show that Aperia Cloud Services, an official Nvidia partner, purchased servers containing H800 chips from Dell Technologies, which subsequently reached Shanghai Longteng.
- Megaspeed International, where Huang previously served as top executive, is investigating its export control compliance; separately, Malaysia is probing a Megaspeed subsidiary over possible chip diversion.
- Beijing denies that Huang acts as a spy, even as the United States maintains its 2023 ban on H800 exports to China, part of efforts to slow Beijing's AI technology development.
