Nvidia cleared to sell H200 chips to an empty office in China, NYT finds
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-11-07
Per the New York Times, New Matrix — a Chinese firm approved to handle Nvidia's H200 AI chips — appears to be a shell: its office is 'a hollow gray shell with wires dangling from the ceiling,' with scant evidence it meaningfully exists and only 17 months of history. The report raises concerns that neither the Commerce Department nor Nvidia is doing due diligence vetting approved Chinese buyers, exposing a hole in export controls.
