🇨🇳 Chinese AI firms rush to rent Nvidia power abroad, fearing the Huang scandal will close a loophole
Chinese AI companies are trying to reserve Nvidia-powered computing capacity at data centers outside China, three people told Reuters. A major Chinese cloud provider has discussed locking in overseas capacity, and smaller labs are approaching rental providers in Southeast Asia. They fear the spy scandal around Jensen Huang will boost the Remote Access Security Act, a bill that passed the US House 369-22 in January and would let Commerce regulate remote cloud access to restricted chips.
⭐ Renting GPUs abroad is one of China's last legal routes to top Nvidia chips, and the Huang affair could be what finally shuts it.
