A U.S. congressional investigation suspects that Chinese AI company DeepSeek has trained its large language model using tens of thousands of Nvidia GPUs, many covered by U.S. export controls. As Nvidia's hardware was central to China's AI progress, the House Select Committee on the CCP this week sent a formal letter to Nvidia asking to provide extensive records amid suspicions that its GPUs ended up at DeepSeek through Singapore despite export restrictions.
Nvidia denies any wrongdoing and says its clients use billing addresses in Singapore, but want their GPUs developed elsewhere.
