In recent years, US has implemented sanctions regime against China that tries to prevent access to the most cutting edge GPUs required for AI training runs. China is trying to develop its own domestic alternatives. Will they succeed?

Resolves YES if there is official, verifiable announcement from any Chinese company that they developed GPU of similar capability like H100 by 31.12.2025.

  • Update 2025-12-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Creator has indicated they will resolve YES based on the Huawei announcement (combining two 910B processors to achieve H100-comparable performance), unless there are objections from traders.

  • Update 2025-12-24 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Creator is reconsidering the previous indication to resolve YES based on the Huawei announcement. Upon further review, the creator now believes available Chinese GPUs may not be considered comparable to H100 performance. The creator is open to being convinced otherwise but is currently leaning toward NO based on recent analysis.

"It achieves performance comparable to Nvidia's H100 chip by combining two 910B processors into a single package through advanced integration techniques, they said."

I think this resolves yes.

@CM Seems so. I will resolve it as yes if no one disagrees. cc: @traders

@CM On a second look the article you shared is relatively old and as of now (December, 24 2025) I am not sure if the Chinese GPUs that are available can be considered as comparable. When I asked Gemini, the answer was decidedly no. I am opened to be convinced otherwise.

Also this analysis is relatively recent (December 15, 2025) and it firmly points to NO camp: https://www.cfr.org/article/chinas-ai-chip-deficit-why-huawei-cant-catch-nvidia-and-us-export-controls-should-remain

@JankoPrester I traded based on it being announced by a Chinese company. Not if it actually is comparable. Will read more later.

Sorry the end date should be 31.12.2025
