US Considers Capping Nvidia H200 Chips at 75,000 per Chinese Customer
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, outside the US Capitol in Washington, has been working to reopen sales of the company’s AI chips to China.
Photographer: Graeme Sloan/BloombergUS officials are considering caps on the number of AI accelerators Nvidia Corp. can export to any one Chinese company, which would further constrain the chipmaker’s reentry into a crucial market.
The Trump administration has talked about limiting Chinese firms to buying 75,000 of Nvidia’s H200 chips each, according to people familiar with the matter. Shipments of Advanced Micro Devices Inc.’s MI325 chips, which have similar capabilities, would also count toward a customer’s cap, the people said. These accelerators — a prized commodity in the tech world — are used to develop and run artificial intelligence models.
