As US charges 2 Chinese nationals with illegally shipping chips to China
Federal authorities in the US have charged two Chinese nationals with secretly exporting advanced AI chips to China.
According to the feds, Chuan Geng and Shiwei Yang set up a company called ALX Solutions in October 2022, just after the Biden administration slapped heavy export controls on high-end GPUs in an attempt to stymie the Chinese AI industry.
The California-based operation is alleged to have shipped the goods through last month, before its operators were nabbed over the weekend, per the Justice Department, which claimed the shipment contained the "most powerful GPU chip on the market."
