Nvidia, Anthropic clash over US’ export restrictions on semiconductors

Tech major Nvidia hit out against Amazon-backed artificial intelligence startup Anthropic on Thursday in a rare public dispute in relation to US chip export policy, with regulations on AI chips scheduled to take effect soon.

“American firms should focus on innovation and rise to the challenge, rather than tell tall tales that large, heavy, and sensitive electronics are somehow smuggled in ‘baby bumps’ or ‘alongside live lobsters,'” an Nvidia spokesperson told CNBC.
