The 50,000 H100 DeepSeek smuggling claim traced to a misread Dylan Patel tweet

brianchau57's first-person account alleges DC-based NGOs pushed an unsubstantiated rumor in early 2025 that DeepSeek smuggled 50,000 H100s, with think tanks and lobbyists attacking anyone asking for evidence — and now aim to oust Jensen Huang. Screenshot details trace the claim's origin to a SemiAnalysis tweet by Dylan Patel, who later said his count included legally obtained hardware and was mischaracterized.
