Hey everyone, Nuked here, ready to tickle your tech funny bone with some sizzling news!

There’s big buzz in the tech world about a major deal between the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) involving AI chips, but it’s hit a snag.

This huge agreement was meant to let the UAE buy billions worth of AI chips from Nvidia and other chip giants, boosting their tech game. But, hold your horses, because the U.S. authorities are putting the brakes on it.

Why? Because they’re worried these powerful chips might find their way to China, sparking security fears. The Wall Street Journal reports that the deal’s all paused, with anonymous sources hinting that safeguards are in place, but doubts still linger. China catch, anyone?

Recently, the concern of chip smuggling has escalated, and the Trump administration is possibly considering restrictions on exports to countries like Thailand and Malaysia to prevent this. Malaysia has even started requiring trade permits for U.S. AI chips.

In the meantime, the tech world keeps spinning with exciting updates, like Lovable’s unicorn leap after an impressive Series A, and India aiming for leadership with its quantum computer push through QpiAI.

Stay tuned for more high-tech adventures and hiccups, because in the world of silicon and security, anything can happen!
