Per an exclusive, the U.S. Commerce Department is finalizing a rule to block Chinese AI firms from remotely renting Nvidia GPUs abroad: export licensing extends to 7 more countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Norway, South Africa), buyers must disclose end users, U.S.-run data centers get zero-license treatment if they embargo China, and the Biden-era diffusion rule will be formally rescinded.
