🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️- A new forensic investigation has uncovered strong evidence that four major Chinese AI developers, including DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, MiniMax, and Ant Group, have gained access to NVIDIA's export-controlled Blackwell GPUs, some of the most advanced AI chips in the world.

Researchers identified distinctive hardware fingerprints in six Chinese AI models, with estimates suggesting that thousands of Blackwell GPUs may have been used in their development. The findings come just one day after NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang resigned following allegations that his relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative helped facilitate billions of dollars in chip shipments to China. Together, the developments raise serious questions about the enforcement of US export controls and the protection of America's technological advantage over China.

🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️- House Speaker Mike Johnson says a bipartisan consensus is emerging in Congress to further restrict China's access to advanced American AI chips following Jensen Huang's resignation as NVIDIA CEO. Republican lawmakers are pushing to include new export restrictions in the annual defense authorization bill, with several proposals gaining momentum.

The measures would strengthen oversight of chip exports, require tracking of advanced processors, restrict Chinese access to overseas computing facilities, and push American allies to tighten their own restrictions. The effort could significantly strengthen Washington's ability to protect its technological advantage over Beijing.
