Two people were just arrested for smuggling AI chips to China.

And the rumors basically point to the fact that these were Nvidia chips.

There is a whole bunch of drama.

People are asking Nvidia to put kill switches and backdoors in their chips.

Invitya has responded.

The White House is weighing in.

This is quite a crazy story and builds on a lot of

press on this has been going over the last few years with chipsacks and basically the quote

unquote AI race that the US says they're in with China right now. So we're going to be diving

into all of that on the podcast before we do. I wanted to mention if you want to try any of the AI

models that I talk about

on the show, I'd love for you to go check out my own startup, which is AIbox.a.I. You basically get access to the top 40 AI models, everything from Open AI, Anthropic, Cohere, Deepseek, Google, meta, tons of others, audio models from 11 labs, tons of interesting new image generation models, all for 20

bucks a month on one platform. The cool thing about it is you can actually chat and switch what

model you're talking to in the same conversation so you can ask the question and have

OpenEI respond and then just regenerate the response with Claude and DeepSeek and Meta and

Google and see which one gives you the best response.

Tons of cool features. I'd love to hear what you have to say about it. We're actively adding new features all the time. So this is a project I have been working on. I'm really excited about.

You can go check it out. There's a link in the description to AIbox.a. All right,

let's get into the smuggling world of AI chips. So two people were arrested. The Department of

Justice in the United States has basically said that these were two Chinese nationals.

And they were shipping, basically they were involved in shipping tens of millions of dollars

worth of high performance
