NVIDIA GPU architecture for large-scale AI training and inference, the mainstay of current data-center compute.
Former OpenAI researcher Will DePue claims a forensic analysis uncovered technical fingerprints of Nvidia's export-controlled Blackwell GPUs inside models from six Chinese AI labs, including DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, MiniMax and Ant Group. He says the evidence shows access to the latest Nvidia hardware but does not by itself prove smuggling or a legal violation, since capacity could be rented at overseas data centers.
NVIDIA officially announced that Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO, ending a 33-year tenure. The move follows New York Times and Forbes reports of multiple personal relationships, including one with a person accused of being a Chinese spy, and comes after reports that the board was preparing to replace him, making this the most consequential AI leadership shakeup since the Google DeepMind reshuffle.
