NVIDIA has built location verification technology that will be able to track which countries you are in, Reuters reported It was originally reportedciting an anonymous source. The performance of this software equipment, but the communication delay between the servers also offers a sense of the chip.
This software will be an option for customers to use and will be available for the first Blackwell chips, Reuters said.
Multiple reports have surfaced in the past few days that show China’s Deepseek Aii Deepseek AII model trained on Blackwell Nvidia chipsSee rank-. Nvidia responded to the report by saying that it has not seen evidence of this type of smuggling.
“We haven’t seen any substance or gotten any tips from a ‘Phantom Datacenter’ that was built to deceive us and other OEM partners, then hack into it, and steal the thins we received,” an Nvidia spokesperson told TechCrunch.
This news comes just days after Nvidia just got the green light from the US government to start selling H200 Ai Chip for Approved Customers in China on Monday. The announcement only concerns the old H200 chips, and not the company’s Blackwell chips.
