A senior US official says that DeepSeek is using Southeast Asian shell companies to access high-end semiconductors that cannot be shipped under the current export control restrictions. It’s the fact that the Chinese company has access to large volumes of Nvidia’s high-end H100 chips that is sending shockwaves.

Since 2022, Nvidia’s H100 chips have been under U.S. export control restrictions on concerns that China could use them to advance its military capabilities. There are also concerns that China could use the chips to overturn US dominance in AI innovations.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) flexes its muscle in augmented reality (AR) by providing crucial hardware and software technologies that power AR experiences. These include high-performance GPUs for rendering, AI for object recognition and scene understanding, and platforms like CloudXR for streaming AR content to various devices.
