Megaspeed, a Singapore-based AI firm, purchased $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips. The U.S. and Singapore investigated Megaspeed for potential illegal chip sharing with China. Nvidia shares fell over 5% after the news. The Nvidia board is investigating, and three Republican committee chairmen requested a closed-door briefing with Huang.
