Savannah Fortis10 hours agoChinese AI chip market finds expansion paths despite US export restrictionsThe U.S. imposed export restrictions on high-level AI chips to China in October 2022, but Chinese companies are finding new ways to develop the technology.2417 Total views24 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksThe Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) chip market has been subject to ongoing export restrictions imposed by the United States in October 2022, which prohibited the sale of certain U.S. products to China. 


The U.S. initially blocked the export of the highest level of chips produced by companies like Nvidia and AMD. Under the initial October controls, the companies were still able to export other models to China, such as Nvidia’s A800 and H800.


One year later, on Oct. 17, 2023, the U.S. government announced an expansion of controls to “reinforce” the previous ones, meaning all chip models would be embargoed from the Chinese market.


One of Nvidia’s top gaming chips, the L40S chip, is also affected by the latest export restrictions, which were immediately effective on Oct. 24.


However, on Nov. 9, local Chinese media outlet STAR Market Daily reported that Nvidia has plans to release three new chips for China. The report cited people familiar with the matter and said the chips are called the HGX H20, L20 PCIe and L2 PCIe.


Nvidia reportedly could announce the new chips as early as Nov. 16. Cointelegraph has reached out to Nvidia for comment but hasn’t yet received a response.


According to a quarterly report from Nvidia earlier in 2023, China is one of its largest markets, along with Taiwan and the United States.

Additionally, Chinese companies have been turning to domestic companies to fulfill their needs for AI chips. 


On Nov. 7, Reuters reported that the Chinese technology company Baidu had ordered AI chips from Huawei in August.


According to the report, Baidu ordered 1,600 of Huawei’s 910B Ascend AI chips for 200 servers. Huawei’s 910B chips are supposed to be an alternative to Nvidia’s A100.


The report said that by October, Huawei delivered more than 60% of Baidu’s chip order, which is roughly 1,000 chips and has a total value of approximately 450 million yuan ($61.83 million). The remaining chips are expected by the end of the year.


Baidu is one of China’s leading AI companies. In October, it released its Ernie 4.0 AI system, which it says has an overall performance “on par with ChatGPT.”


Over the summer, the Biden administration reportedly said it is even considering adding restrictions on China’s access to cloud computing services.


On Oct. 23, U.S. Undersecretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Alan Estevez reiterated that fear to reporters at an event in Tokyo, particularly highlighting concerns over usage for military purposes.
