Nvidia makes chip-location tracking mandatory for Southeast Asia cloud partners
Bloomberg reports that Nvidia now requires Southeast Asian cloud buyers to enroll in its Fleet Intelligence system — which logs the physical location of AI chips in data centers — to qualify as official Nvidia Cloud Partners. The move follows U.S. allegations that billions of dollars of banned Nvidia chips reached China via regional smuggling rings, and a House Republican request this week for a formal Jensen Huang briefing over the Megaspeed affair.
