The letter specifically called AI’s inference from H20, and the process of using the trained artificial intelligence model to make decisions on invisible data.

“The H20 is a powerful accelerator of the Chinese border capacity AI, not the old Amnesty International chip,” the message said. “H20 is specifically designed to work on export control thresholds, the H20 is improved for inferring, the process responsible for the dramatic capabilities made by the latest generation of border thinking models. As for inference tasks, the H20 surpasses H20 performance, which is Amnesty International chip, and this management may restrict access to its advanced capabilities.”
