THE UNDERGROUND NETWORK SNEAKING NVIDIA CHIPS INTO CHINA

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

There is a barely concealed network of buyers, sellers, and couriers bypassing the restrictions aimed at denying China's access to Nvidia's advanced AI chips. The flow of hardware is so steady that most of the sellers take preorders and promise delivery in weeks. Some even sell entire servers. Research institutions have been among the main buyers of the advanced AI chips. The market will likely remain robust and adaptive until viable domestically-made chips emerge in China.
