U.S. Officials Investigate DeepSeek Over AI Training with Restricted Nvidia Chips

BTCCSquare news:
U.S. authorities are scrutinizing Chinese AI firm DeepSeek for allegedly using restricted Nvidia Blackwell chips to train new AI models, potentially violating export control laws. A senior Trump administration official claimed the chips were obtained despite current bans, though details on procurement remain unclear. The chips may be housed at a DeepSeek data center in Inner Mongolia, a region becoming known for energy-intensive computing operations.
China's embassy strongly denied the allegations, calling U.S. export controls politically motivated overreach. The Commerce Department faces mounting pressure to enforce semiconductor restrictions more aggressively, which could further strain U.S.-China tech relations.
