Texas authorities have made multiple arrests in an NVIDIA GPU smuggling operation

President Donald Trump has announced that Nvidia is now permitted to sell its advanced H200 artificial intelligence chips to approved customers in China, effectively lifting a previous export ban due to national security concerns. This policy shift marks a significant change in U.S.-China tech relations.

The Trump administration has granted approval for NVIDIA to export its H200 artificial intelligence chips to China, following extensive negotiations. This decision includes a stipulation of a 25% fee on sales, which will be charged when the chips are shipped from Taiwan to the U.S. for inspection before further export.

The latest episode of the LWiAI Podcast features Jeremie discussing the release of DeepSeek 3.2, an AI model that promises to be faster, cheaper, and smarter than its predecessors. This update highlights the company's ongoing efforts to enhance its technology and compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has mandated that state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) collect reliable Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data. A study proposes a machine learning framework to identify optimal days for short-term traffic counts, aiming to enhance AADT prediction accuracy using traffic volume data from Texas in 2022 and 2023.

A recent study tested the robustness of NVIDIA's AI weather forecasting model, FourCastNetv2, by assessing its sensitivity to noise in initial conditions during Hurricane Florence's trajectory from September 13-16, 2018. The research involved perturbing the model's initial conditions with Gaussian noise and analyzing the effects on predicted storm intensity and paths.
