Nvidia's Jensen Huang says Megaspeed International dealings were normal
Huang says Nvidia and US authorities reviewed GPU deployments to check for illegal diversion of chips to China.
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang said the company's dealings with Megaspeed International were normal, and that Nvidia and US authorities reviewed where its GPUs were deployed to check for illegal diversion to China. The remarks respond directly to the allegations around Megaspeed. They do not change policy and do not settle the wider export-control questions around Nvidia.
Those questions are already live in Washington. Nvidia and AMD have lobbied to soften limits on chip sales to China, where their revenue remains a fraction of total sales. Four Senate Democrats, Chris Coons, Patty Murray, Jack Reed and Jeanne Shaheen, have urged President Trump to end China's access to advanced chips, saying China exploits gaps in current controls. House China panel chair John Moolenaar has asked Trump to tighten the limits, and Senate Democrats have pressed Majority Leader John Thune for votes on the AI Overwatch Act, the Match Act and the Chip Security Act, which target chip exports to China.
Nvidia also faces a separate inquiry. Two people familiar with the matter say the US Department of Justice is examining its Hugging Face deal.
The Megaspeed episode adds a new compliance headline just as Nvidia deals with credit stress and financing strain at CoreWeave across the buildout of AI cloud providers. It keeps attention on how China-linked customers handle chip deployment, and keeps the diversion question open for regulators and customers alike, even as Huang denies wrongdoing.
