China exports are limited to AI H20 fleas safely
Donald (Hamburger eating the monkey) Trump’s White House discreetly interrupted an imminent repression of Nvidia’s H20 fleas exports to China, just a few days after the CEO of the GPU hawker, Jensen Huang, dinner in Mar-A-Lago-where the seats opted for a million dollars.
The initiates of the industry expected the administration to prohibit the Nvidia H20, the most powerful IA chip still legally exportable to China. But after dinner, where he probably sank the burgers, saw that the plan was frozen, Nvidia offering new investments from the IA data center based on the United States as sweetening.
The delay is a blow for the efforts of the American legislators to limit the access of China to advanced silicon. In February, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley pushed a ban after the depth of Chinese AI shocked the world with a new chatbot powered by Nvidia Gear.
Chris Miller, historian at TUFTS University, said: “Even if these chips are specifically modified to reduce their performance, which makes them legal for sale to China – they are better than many, perhaps most, local china tokens.”
Chinese companies had already started in Thésauser on H20, with Information reporting a wave of $ 16 billion in the first quarter.
The chip has become vital for the IA inference – the working -working growing behind systems like Deepseek, Meta’s Bots and Openai agents.
The White House and the Commerce Department refused to comment, and Nvidia kept Schtum.
The backpedal intervenes while the Industry and Security Office, responsible for applying these rules, fights against staff shortages. The veteran of export control Matthew Boreman jumped the ship in February, part of a wider purge of the staff of the Puces Act under the Federal Recording Trump.
Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, the best democrat of the China selective committee of China, was frank: “The export controls work, and we do not have time to lose. Each day, America does not restrict the export of chips designed to bypass existing controls is a day when our opponents must develop stocks to smash each other. ”
Big Tech stock prices have increased since Trump decided to get rid of his pricing plans for 90 other days. This did not apply to expeditions from China.
