Exclusive-Chinese AI firms rush to secure Nvidia chip capacity as spy scandal stirs fear of US curbs
Companies are reserving overseas Nvidia capacity as fears grow that tighter U.S. rules could limit remote access to advanced chips.
- Chinese artificial intelligence companies are seeking to rent Nvidia-powered computing capacity at overseas data centers, fearing a scandal involving CEO Jensen Huang could spur Washington to tighten restrictions on remote access to advanced processors.
- The Remote Access Security Act, or RASA, would grant the Commerce Department authority to regulate cloud-based access to restricted technology; the House passed the bill in January by a 369-22 vote, and companies worry controversy surrounding Huang will accelerate its passage.
- Procurement records show a Chinese university with ties to the Liberation Army recently obtained powerful H200 AI chips despite U.S. export restrictions, exposing enforcement gaps that companies now fear will be closed.
- Smaller AI labs are approaching computing providers in Southeast Asia to secure capacity before potential new regulations eliminate their ability to rent remote computing power without importing restricted chips directly.
- On Sunday, Huang admitted to infidelity, prompting companies to accelerate risk mitigation as remote access remains vital for China's developers to train large AI models without importing restricted chips directly.
