Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang expressed optimism Thursday that Beijing will permit the sale to Chinese buyers of a powerful AI chip model made by the US tech giant.
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang expressed optimism Thursday that Beijing will permit the sale to Chinese buyers of a powerful AI chip model made by the US tech giant.
Huang's remarks came a day after the Wall Street Journal and others reported that Beijing had authorised several of Nvidia's Chinese customers to buy the advanced chip.
The chip in question, the H200, can be used to train and run cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems.
It had been barred from sale in China by Washington over national security concerns, but last month US President Donald Trump said he had reached an agreement with China's Xi Jinping to soften restrictions on the H200.
However, there has been uncertainty over whether the Chinese government would actually allow firms to buy them, because it has reportedly been encouraging Chinese tech companies to use domestically made chips instead.
"The actual licence for H200 is being finalised," Huang told reporters in Taipei.
