NVIDIA plans to make new AI chips for China after recent US export bans. The company told Chinese partners like Alibaba about creating chips based on their newest Blackwell design.
US rules stopped NVIDIA from selling its H20 AI chip to China earlier this year. This hurt NVIDIA because the company had already sold about $12 billion worth of these chips in China. The CEO even traveled to China after the ban to calm worries.
NVIDIA wants to keep its Chinese customers happy without breaking US laws. The company might release special versions of its B100 and B200 chips that meet US rules but still offer better performance than older models. This would be the fourth time NVIDIA has made special chips just for the Chinese market.
Chinese tech firms like Huawei are making their own AI chips, which challenge NVIDIA. The company has worked with Chinese businesses for 30 years and clearly wants to keep selling there despite growing trade barriers.
