US weighs investment pledges as condition for Nvidia and AMD AI-chip sales
TL;DR
The US commerce department is proposing a rule to tie exports of Nvidia and AMD AI data-center chips to foreign buyers’ pledges to invest in US AI infrastructure, using a tiered licensing system based on chip computing power. The approach echoes earlier Middle East deals and would not affect China. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang reportedly agreed that 25% of revenues from H200 exports would go to the US government as a licensing condition, and the rule remains under inter‑agency review.
