Servers with Nvidia H800 chips bought via Singapore’s Aperia Cloud Services reportedly ended up at a Chinese firm founded by Alice Huang, Bloomberg says.

SAN FRANCISCO (United States): A Chinese company founded by Alice Huang, the alleged spy for Beijing at the center of the scandal surrounding Nvidia, obtained banned AI chips, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.

Nvidia’s former CEO Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday after admitting to having extramarital affairs, including one reportedly with Alice Huang. China denies that she is a spy.

The scandal has raised concerns that high-end Nvidia microchips might have found their way to China, the United States’ main AI rival, in circumvention of Washington’s export restrictions.
