Chinese AI Companies Use “Flying Hard Drive Cases” to Bypass US Chip Blockade: To cope with US export restrictions on AI chips to China, Chinese companies have adopted a new strategy: physically taking hard drives containing AI training data to data centers overseas (e.g., Malaysia). There, they utilize servers equipped with advanced chips like Nvidia’s for model training, and then bring the results back. This highlights the complexity of the global AI supply chain and the adaptability of Chinese enterprises under restrictions, while also promoting Southeast Asia and the Middle East as new hotspots for AI data centers.

GCP Global Outage Report Analysis: Illegal Quota Policy Caused Service Disruption: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) recently experienced a global API management system outage. The incident report attributed the cause to the deployment of an illegal quota policy, which led to external requests being rejected due to exceeding quotas (403 error). After engineers discovered the issue, they bypassed quota checks, but the us-central1 region recovered slowly due to an overloaded quota database. It is speculated that when urgently clearing old policies and writing new ones, the database was overloaded because the cache was not cleared in time. Other regions adopted a gradual cache clearing approach, and recovery took about 2 hours. (Source: karminski3)
