DeepSeek has reportedly been given conditional approval by the Chinese government to buy Nvidia's AI GPUs

According to Reuters, two people "familiar with the matter" have said that the Chinese government has given approval for its top AI startup, DeepSeek, to buy Nvidia's H200 AI GPUs, with regulatory conditions that are still being finalised.

If these reports are true, it would mark a significant shift in China's previous reluctance to allow Nvidia's high-end hardware to be purchased by its top tech firms, and potentially mark the beginning of the end of a long-running saga between Nvidia and the US and Chinese authorities.
