Unverified claim: forensic evidence says top Chinese AI labs trained on banned Blackwell chips

LeviTurk · x · 2026-11-13

Will Depue claims a "major result": he found what he calls conclusive forensic evidence that four top Chinese AI labs—DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax and Ant Group—built their newest models on NVIDIA's most advanced Blackwell chips, which are barred from export to China. His argument: nearly every AI model carries a hidden signature of the GPU that trained it, allowing hardware provenance to be traced. Levi Turk shared a video version and flagged it needs a legitimacy check.

Note: this is an unverified personal claim with no independent confirmation yet.
