"Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei isn't happy about the US allowing Nvidia to sell GPUs to Chinese companies, and likened the decision to giving nuclear weapons to an adversary. "The CEOs of these [Chinese] companies say it's the embargo on US chips that's holding them back," he said in an interview with Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week. "I think it's a big mistake to ship these chips.""
"Amodei's comments come just over a month after the Trump administration announced it would allow shipments of Nvidia H200 accelerators to Chinese customers so long as Uncle Sam gets a 25 percent cut of the revenues. It's now up to Chinese authorities to allow local buyers to acquire the GPUs. Anthropic wants stricter controls on AI exports, a hawkish position that contrasts sharply with chipmakers like AMD and Nvidia,"
The Trump administration authorized shipments of Nvidia H200 accelerators to Chinese customers subject to a 25 percent revenue share, with Chinese authorities responsible for approving local buyers. Anthropic pushes for stricter AI export controls and views the shipments as a strategic error. Major chipmakers warn that restricting China would cause technological decoupling and harm global research exchange. The United States leads in advanced semiconductor technology, and export controls aim to slow China's progress by limiting access to high-end computing. Access to these GPUs would enable Chinese model developers, especially those offering open-weight models, to better compete for enterprise adoption.
