Report says Nvidia servers reached Chinese firm founded by Alice Huang

Report says Nvidia servers reached Chinese firm founded by Alice Huang

Servers containing Nvidia H800 chips reportedly reached Shanghai Longteng, a Chinese company founded by businesswoman Alice Huang, according to Bloomberg.

A separate report said companies linked to Huang committed to supplying Nvidia Blackwell chips to DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, but it is unclear whether the chips arrived.

The United States banned exports of H800 chips to China in 2023, and Blackwell processors are also restricted from export there.

Bloomberg said Singapore-based Nvidia partner Aperia Cloud Services bought the H800 servers from Dell, but it is unclear how they reached Shanghai Longteng or whether Huang was involved.

Litong, another company associated with Huang in the separate report, denied having business dealings with her and said its resources came through compliant channels.

The claims have renewed scrutiny of possible routes around US chip export controls as Washington seeks to limit China's access to advanced AI technology.

Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based company linked to Huang, is investigating whether it complied with export controls, while Malaysia is probing a subsidiary over possible chip diversion.
