Ah, thanks. Too late for me to edit, but: ITAR -> EAR sounds right.

And I guess one could believe that MegaSpeed really did only that, renting GPUs from afar. In which case perhaps this is more a political problem than a legal one? I'd wager it's still a huge political issue, but I guess we'll see.

Isn't there evidence/speculation that some of the chips that were sold to MegaSpeed "somehow" ended up in Russian drones in Ukraine? However they for there the take away is Nvidia chips were found in Russian drones, how were they procured?

I was not aware that NVidia chips were found in some Russian drones. I can confirm that accusation with some light Googling that shows reliable news sources. Those chips aren't very special. You can buy dev kits on Amazon.com[1]. So, I assume someone is buying 1000s in a friendly country, then smuggling them to Russia.
