Feb 3 (Reuters) - Nvidia's H200 AI chip sales to China remain in limbo nearly two months after U.S. President Donald Trump approved exports, pending a U.S. national security review, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday,

Palantir is an AI-powered data analytics company serving both government and commercial customers, and its growth – which was already powerful – accelerated in the quarter. It's an Nvidia partner and incorporates Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) and other tech into its AI-driven platform.

What was pitched as the biggest computing project in history is now facing delays, internal skepticism, and growing competitive pressure.

To account for this, Nvidia bought Groq (no, not Grok), the AI chips startup reportedly eyed by OpenAI, in its largest purchase ever. Then, last month, Nvidia unveiled its new Rubin platform, with a presentation that boasted inference and memory bandwidth wins.

The latest clarification came after reports suggested Nvidia had paused or slowed its $100 billion investment plans in OpenAI

Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said that the massive build-out of artificial intelligence capacity, which is currently straining the power grid in many locations, will eventually lead to cheaper energy costs.

Micron is an industry leader in high-bandwidth memory (HMB) chips.

Nvidia’s sales of H200 AI chips to China are still awaiting final approval from Washington nearly two months after Donald Trump greenlit exports, as the US government conducts a national security review before granting licences to Chinese customers.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares were little changed in extended trading on Tuesday, after falling 2.9% during the regular session, following a Reuters report that OpenAI is unhappy with aspects of Nvidia’s latest AI chips and has been looking at rival suppliers.
