Reuters reports that scientists in China have created a prototype of a machine that could eventually be used to produce semiconductor chips capable of powering AI.
NVIDIA is now allowed to sell its high-end H200 processors to China, rather than just the sanction-approved H20 model that China had previously declined to buy.
Chinese regulators reportedly dissuaded local companies from purchasing NVIDIA's H20 chips, because they found certain statements by US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick "insulting."
