## Key points

- Alice Huang reportedly touted Megaspeed’s access to Nvidia GPUs.
- Megaspeed imported 50,000 more chips than Nvidia linked to its data centres.
- The claims intensify scrutiny of chip controls and Jensen Huang’s reported links.

## Summary

New reports say Alice Huang promoted Megaspeed’s access to Nvidia AI chips while seeking investment, saying the company had no problem securing GPUs and naming Alibaba as a customer. The claims add to scrutiny of possible chip diversion to China and of Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang’s reported links to Alice Huang, who is suspected by US officials of ties to Chinese intelligence.

Megaspeed, a Singapore-based provider of rented AI computing capacity, was Southeast Asia’s largest Nvidia chip buyer. US officials asked Nvidia to audit its dealings after Megaspeed reportedly imported 50,000 more chips than Nvidia had linked to its data centres; it remains unclear whether promised follow-up checks occurred. Records also reportedly show Megaspeed imported goods worth more than 1,000 times its cash on hand in 2023, the year it joined Nvidia’s partnership programme. China’s foreign ministry has rejected the allegations as groundless.
