How NVIDIA's whitelist was beaten: 74 B300 servers, Taiwan to China

Taiwan's Keelung District Prosecutors Office has indicted nine people over the illegal export of high-end AI servers built on Nvidia's B300 GPUs. The indictment lays out, step by step, how a compliance regime designed to track every unit was defeated from the inside.

Why it matters

AI infrastructure capacity and cost are becoming core constraints for labs and enterprises scaling real workloads.
