U.S. Considers Nvidia AI Chip Export to Saudi Arabia

Nvidia's Advanced AI GPUs and Saudi Arabia's Ambitions
The United States government is currently evaluating the possibility of permitting Nvidia to export its state-of-the-art AI GPUs to Saudi Arabia. These processors, such as the H100 and H200, are essential for developing large language models (LLMs) and advanced AI services, similar to OpenAI's GPT-4 or Meta's Llama 70B. By gaining access to these technologies, Saudi Arabia aims to diversify its economy beyond its traditional oil-based foundation.
