Firm founded by Alice Huang ended up with banned Nvidia H800 servers, Bloomberg reports
Documents filed with the Chinese government show Dell servers bought by Singapore's Aperia Cloud Services later reached Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing; how they got there, and whether Huang was involved, is not known.
Why it matters
The report is the first to tie banned Nvidia hardware to a company Alice Huang founded herself, rather than to Megaspeed, the Singapore data-centre firm where she was a senior executive. Aperia, the Nvidia partner named as the buyer, is already at the centre of a Singapore server-fraud case. The H800 has been barred from export to China since 2023. Watch for responses from Dell, Nvidia and Aperia, and whether US investigators widen their inquiry to Chinese end users.
