Details
Nvidia's H200 is a powerful AI chip designed for inference workloads. The company had stopped producing the H200 last year due to regulatory challenges on both the Chinese and US sides. However, Nvidia has now received the necessary approvals from Beijing to resume selling the H200 to Chinese customers. This is a significant development as the H200 is Nvidia's second-most-powerful AI chip, trailing only the flagship A100. The approval allows Nvidia to better serve the growing demand for advanced AI hardware in the Chinese market. Additionally, the company is reportedly working on a China-specific version of its Groq inference chip to further expand its offerings in the country.
