Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hails China’s AI advancements as company prepares to renew chip shipments

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang publicly commended Chinese artificial intelligence models at a Beijing supply chain expo, just one day after the U.S. chipmaker announced its intention to restart deliveries of a key AI chip to China.
