Nvidia sounds the alarm: Chinese AI talent defecting to Huawei as U.S. chip curbs push them out the door
Nvidia is sounding the alarm about the unintended impact of US export restrictions on sending chips to China, as the company's senior VP of research and chief scientist, Bill Dally, said that the chipmaker is now witnessing an increasing number of former Nvidia AI researchers joining Huawei, a move prompted primarily by the tightening export controls, as per a PC Gamer to Dally's calculation, the number of AI researchers working in China has grown from a third of the world's total in 2019 to nearly half at present, reported PC Gamer, which cited a translation from the Taiwan Economic Daily report. The AI chipmaker's rationale is that without US restrictions, Huawei wouldn't be forced to focus so much on domestic AI solutions, but now it must do so to keep up, according to the PC Gamer report. However, this is not the first time Nvidia is pointing out that the US export restrictions for China are harming the AI industry in America. Even during Computex last month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said, "AI researchers are still doing AI research in China and if they don't have enough Nvidia, they will use their own [chips]," and he also spoke regarding Huawei specifically, saying the company has become "quite formidable", reported PC Gamer. While, it is not just the US national interest that has urged Nvidia to highlight all the possible negatives of export controls, as these restrictions have cost and will cost the chipmaker lots of money, according to the report. Nvidia had revealed that after billions of dollars lost due to the restrictions of its H20 chips to China in Q1, it's expecting another $8 billion to be lost for the same reason in Q2, reported PC Gamer. According to the report, Huawei's latest Ascend 910 and 920 chips, with the help of China's SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation), would be a better option for Chinese AI companies than trying to get their hands on Nvidia chips, as per the report. Why is Nvidia concerned about its AI researchers joining Huawei? Because it signals that export restrictions might be pushing top talent and innovation into China, instead of slowing its progress. How much money has Nvidia lost from these restrictions? Nvidia says it lost billions in Q1 and expects another $8 billion in losses in Q2 due to blocked chip sales to China.

Elden Ring Nightreign player channels their inner Sekiro to parry the co-op roguelite's final boss to death – completely solo – just 2 days after launch
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A FromSoftware fan has just completed a solo run of Elden Ring Nightreign using a build inspired by what seems to be their favorite game in the company's catalogue: Sekiro. As spotted by our friends at PCGamer, YouTuber Ongbal uses the Executor class to take on the final boss of Nightreign. If you don't want to know what that is, this is your spoiler warning. The Executor makes sense for a Sekiro fan because of its katana weapon and ability that allows it to parry strikes just like the cursed shinobi. It's wonderful watching them deflect blows easily. Nightreign is a co-op game, designed to be played in trios, but you can still play solo if you don't want to queue with randoms. Bandai Namco's official tips recommend going in a group, so don't try this solo method unless you've got some serious skills. When Ongbal takes on the final boss, Heolstor, it seems to have an almost Artorias vibe to it. It's hunched over with a large sword, and takes limp swings which Ongbal easily parries so that they can do stagger damage and get critical hits in. Once that first health bar is taken down, Heolstor shows how powerful they truly are. They're faster, deal more area of effect damage, and require Ongbal to actually use their health flasks. The sickest moment in the fight is when Heolstor is taken down to around half health and jumps in the air, slicing the very cosmos open and letting another reality bleed through. Ongbal is pressured, but they still manage to take the Nightlord down alone, armed with just their katana. If you're unsure of whether or not to buy this game and try Ongbal's strategy for yourself, check out our Elden Ring Nightreign review.
