President Donald Trump announced that Nvidia has received White House approval to export its H200 AI GPU chips to "approved customers" in China and other nations. The deal includes a 25 percent U.S. cut of sales, higher than the 15 percent cut previously demanded. The H200 chips are an upgrade to the scaled‑down H20 models already allowed for export, though they remain less powerful than Nvidia's flagship Blackwell GPUs. Trump framed the policy as a boost for American jobs, manufacturing, and taxpayers, while noting that Nvidia’s U.S. customers are already moving forward with Blackwell chips. Senators have urged continued restrictions on China’s access to the most advanced AI chips. Read more →

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang cautioned that China can construct AI data centers and even hospitals far faster than the United States, citing the country's expansive energy resources and swift construction capabilities. At the same time, a report from OpenRouter and Andreessen Horowitz shows Chinese open‑source large language models now account for roughly 30% of global AI token usage, up from just over 1% a year earlier. While Huang affirmed Nvidia’s chip technology remains ahead of China, the rapid growth of Chinese AI models and the nation’s infrastructure advantages highlight an intensifying competitive landscape.

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang met with former President Donald Trump and members of Congress to argue against the GAIN AI Act’s proposed restrictions on exporting advanced AI chips. Lawmakers subsequently removed the export‑control provision from the defense bill. Huang also warned that a patchwork of state AI regulations could cripple the industry and threaten national security, a concern echoed by Trump, who favors a single federal standard. Read more →

Nvidia announced a new open‑source vision‑language model called Alpamayo‑R1 at the NeurIPS AI conference. Designed for autonomous‑driving research, the model builds on Nvidia’s Cosmos‑Reason architecture and aims to give self‑driving systems common‑sense reasoning. Nvidia also released a set of developer guides known as the Cosmos Cookbook, and made the model available on GitHub and Hugging Face. Executives highlighted the importance of physical AI for the next wave of robotics and autonomous technologies. Read more →

On an earnings call, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang brushed aside concerns about an AI bubble, emphasizing the company’s role in powering a broad AI revolution. He highlighted record quarterly sales, a strong outlook, and strategic investments in firms such as OpenAI, CoreWeave and Anthropic. While Wall Street showed mixed reactions, the stock rose modestly after hours. Nvidia continues to dominate the GPU market, with most revenue now coming from data‑center products, and it anticipates continued demand despite broader market scepticism. Read more →

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang warned that China is poised to win the artificial‑intelligence race, arguing that restrictive U.S. chip export policies could push Chinese developers toward independent ecosystems. Huang emphasized the importance of keeping American hardware and software at the core of global AI development while also engaging China’s massive developer community. He cautioned that policies limiting Chinese access to Nvidia’s latest processors might diminish U.S. influence over AI innovation worldwide. Read more →

NVIDIA announced the production of its first Blackwell wafer at TSMC’s Phoenix, Arizona fab, marking a major step in domestic chip manufacturing for its AI hardware. The Blackwell platform, touted as more powerful and up to 25 times more cost‑ and energy‑efficient than its predecessor, is positioned for volume production and aims to strengthen ties with major AI players while reducing exposure to tariffs and geopolitical risks. CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the significance of the milestone for U.S. semiconductor leadership and noted ongoing plans to expand U.S. manufacturing capacity and invest heavily in AI infrastructure.

Nvidia announced the DGX Spark, a book‑size AI supercomputer that delivers a petaflop of performance with 128 GB of unified memory. The compact device measures roughly 5.9 inches square and 2 inches thick, and it will be priced around $4,000. To mark the launch, CEO Jensen Huang personally delivered a signed unit to Elon Musk at SpaceX’s Starbase facility. The DGX Spark follows Nvidia’s earlier DGX line, which began with a much larger and pricier system offering 170 teraflops. Orders for the new model start on Nvidia’s website later this month.

Nvidia has introduced the DGX Spark, a small‑form‑factor AI system that runs an ARM‑based DGX OS built on Ubuntu Linux and includes the company’s AI software stack. Priced from US $3,999, the Spark offers performance comparable to an RTX 5070 GPU but with 128 GB of unified memory, enabling larger AI models. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the device’s mission by personally delivering a unit to Elon Musk at SpaceX’s Starbase, recalling a similar hand‑off to OpenAI in 2016. Read more →

Nvidia has risen to global leadership in artificial‑intelligence chips, but its success has placed it at the center of escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. Successive U.S. administrations have imposed export controls that require Nvidia to ship reduced‑specification GPUs to China, spurring a black‑market for higher‑performance units. The Trump administration blocked sales of Nvidia’s H20 chip, a product designed for the Chinese market, before a deal allowed limited sales in exchange for a 15 percent revenue share to the U.S. government. Chinese regulators have since warned domestic firms against purchasing the H20, adding uncertainty to Nvidia’s Chinese business. CEO Jensen Huang has publicly criticized the U.S. curbs, calling them a failure that accelerates Chinese rivals’ development. Both Nvidia and China’s State Administration for Market Regulation declined comment. Read more →

At a press event in London, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang expressed enthusiastic admiration for Google’s Gemini‑based Nano Banana image generator, calling it a standout AI tool. He highlighted its precision editing capabilities and the surge in usage it has driven. Huang also discussed his broader AI workflow, noting he switches among Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and ChatGPT depending on the task. The CEO underscored Nvidia’s investment in UK data‑center builder Nscale and praised the country’s AI heritage, linking the rapid adoption of tools like Nano Banana to a broader democratization of artificial intelligence.

China's Cyberspace Administration has ordered local technology companies, including ByteDance and Alibaba, to cancel orders and halt testing of NVIDIA's latest AI GPU. The directive stops the purchase of the RTX Pro 6000D model and reflects a stricter stance than earlier guidance on older chips. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang expressed disappointment, noting the limitations imposed by the ban. The move follows earlier U.S. export restrictions and comes amid Chinese regulators' assessment that domestic chips now match or exceed foreign offerings. Read more →

China’s Cyberspace Administration has prohibited domestic technology companies, including ByteDance and Alibaba, from buying Nvidia AI chips such as the RTX Pro 6000D server. The move follows earlier encouragement for firms to use locally‑made alternatives. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang expressed disappointment but affirmed the company will respect the market’s wishes. The ban adds to a broader backdrop of U.S. licensing requirements that have limited Nvidia’s sales in China, with the firm forecasting significant revenue loss and noting that recent U.S. license approvals have yet to translate into actual shipments.
