Advanced Nvidia chips are reportedly beginning to reach China after previously facing US export restrictions. The Financial Times reports that Tencent and ByteDance have each received about 10,000 of Nvidia’s H200 chips, with other companies potentially set to gain approval for shipments. The report also says Lenovo has told clients they can order products containing the chips. The US approved H200 exports to China last year, but Beijing only granted some domestic firms permission to buy them last month. The developments could mark a new phase in China’s AI development efforts.
