Megaspeed, a Singapore-based cloud computing company with ties to Nvidia, is under scrutiny over allegations that it helped Chinese firms bypass U.S. export controls. The company is suspected of purchasing advanced Nvidia AI chips and routing them to China, leading to questions about whether restricted technology ended up in the country.
The controversy involves former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy. Her ties to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, including an alleged affair, have raised U.S. national security concerns and placed the company at the heart of an international corporate scandal.
Megaspeed has denied wrongdoing following the accusations that it smuggled AI chips into China. The company stated that Alice Huang left the firm in 2025 and has announced an internal investigation led by outside lawyers.
