Megaspeed chip-smuggling probe halted after Nvidia step-in, WatcherGuru says

The US probe into Megaspeed over suspected smuggling of AI chips into China has been stopped, according to a post from WatcherGuru, which says Nvidia intervened to halt it. Nvidia is the dominant supplier of the high-end AI processors at the center of US export restrictions on China. The post did not say when the investigation ended or what form Nvidia's intervention took.

The same post makes a second, separate claim: that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive described in the post as having been accused of being a Chinese spy. Neither allegation has been independently verified, and the post offered no documents, sourcing or named officials behind either claim.

Put together, the post ties the head of the world's most valuable chipmaker to a company it says was under US scrutiny for moving AI hardware to China, and to an executive it labels a suspected spy. Nvidia and Megaspeed have not responded in the post, which carried no supporting evidence for either assertion.
