JUST IN: China eases restrictions on Nvidia’s H200 chips, allowing ByteDance and Tencent to receive 10,000 each as Beijing races to close the AI gap. Beijing has reportedly approved small batches of H200s for mainland China, even though the chip is at least two generations behind Nvidia’s most powerful processors, which Chinese customers remain barred from buying under U.S. export controls. The move highlights China’s continued reliance on Nvidia hardware for advanced AI training, even as Beijing pushes to build a domestic alternative.(Coin Bureau)
