A Chinese computing company founded by Alice Huang obtained restricted Nvidia H800 chips, Bloomberg News reported Friday, although the method of acquisition and Huang's involvement remain unclear.

Documents submitted to Chinese authorities reportedly show that Aperia Cloud Services, an official Nvidia partner, purchased servers containing H800 chips from Dell Technologies before the equipment reached Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing.

The report has intensified concerns over possible circumvention of US export restrictions on advanced AI chips.

The developments follow Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation amid reports of extramarital affairs, including an alleged relationship with Alice Huang. Megaspeed International, where she previously held a senior executive position, is reviewing its export-control compliance, while Malaysia is investigating a subsidiary over possible chip diversion.

💡
Beijing has denied allegations that Alice Huang acted as a spy. The US ban on H800 exports to China remains in place.
