      “U.S. chipmaker Nvidia helped China’s DeepSeek hone artificial intelligence models that were later used by the Chinese military, the chairman of a U.S. House of Representatives committee said in a letter.

      Reuters reported last year that U.S. officials believe DeepSeek is aiding China’s military.

      Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration approved sales of Nvidia’s H200 to China with some restrictions, including that the chips not be sold to entities that assist the Chinese military. The H200 is more powerful than the H800 chips DeepSeek used.

      Trump’s decision drew fire from China hawks across the U.S. political spectrum over concerns the chips would supercharge Beijing’s military and erode the U.S. advantage in AI.”

      >”China has more than enough domestic chips for all of its military applications, with millions to spare. Just like it would be nonsensical for the American military to use Chinese technology, it makes no sense for the Chinese military to depend on American technology,”

      I don’t like Nvidia but he is right. China has the ability to produce their own advance chips for government purposes at scale. The problem is it’s not efficient enough for Chinese companies to buy compared to Nvidia’s.

      Shouldn’t be surprize to anyone. All innovative technologies that are of any distant interest to the military, are always sucked in by the military. Especially in the countries obsessed with greatness and power

      I really don’t care if it’s true or not. Can this be the excuse we use to break up the company?

      “Nvidia supported application developers in getting high performance out of Nvidia hardware”

      Yeah duh that’s why people buy Nvidia chips
