AI company Anthropic wants the US government to keep strict rules about sending AI chips to China. They claim people are smuggling NVIDIA chips into China in strange ways, even hiding them with seafood. Anthropic supports a system with different levels of control and wants the US to lower the power level of chips that can be sent to certain countries.
NVIDIA responded to these claims. The company said American tech firms should focus on making better products instead of spreading stories about electronics hidden with lobsters. NVIDIA sells many AI chips to Chinese companies and opposes the rules that limit these sales.
The government plans to start enforcing new AI export rules on May 15. Anthropic believes changing these rules would help China catch up in AI technology. The debate shows growing tension between US tech companies about how to handle China's competition.
