Our forensic analysis of publicly released AI models finds evidence that DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, MiniMax and Ant Group have gained access to NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPUs, despite restrictions on exporting these chips to China, and are using that hardware to create their AI models.
Who cares?
I’m more bothered that they are fingerprining GPUs in such a way to track this.
In they article they explain that it’s technical details of how the hardware functions that leave a fingerprint. Not an intentional tracking method.
