Jensen Huang is gone. Nvidia’s controls still need explaining
The company selling some of the most sensitive technology on earth has much explaining to do
ON NOV 12, while Nvidia’s board met to decide Jensen Huang’s future, Megaspeed announced that it had hired a US law firm to run a comprehensive census of its GPUs (graphics processing units) and independently verify its export-control practices.
Two weeks earlier, on October 29, Huang had told Bloomberg that Nvidia had studied all of Megaspeed’s deployments and counted every one. At about 10pm Singapore time on Nov 12, Nvidia announced Huang’s resignation.
If every chip had already been counted, what was left for a law firm to count? Attention has gone to Huang’s private conduct, which belongs to his family, his board and investigators.
