Gigabyte said on Aug. 20 that it has launched the W775 series desktop AI supercomputer, with the flagship model using NVIDIA’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra chip. The company says the system brings data-center-grade computing into an office-ready floor-standing chassis and extends its AI lineup from data centers to edge and enterprise deployments. The W775-V10-L01 can support up to 400 simultaneous users and delivers peak throughput of 9,000 tok/s. Gigabyte also raised its full-year capital expenditure forecast to NT$28 billion to NT$30 billion, up from NT$23 billion to NT$25 billion, an increase of about 20%.

Protos reported that activist short seller Culper Research shorted Nvidia on May 13 after arguing that the company still had a serious China exposure despite CEO Jensen Huang’s earlier guidance that China sales should be treated as zero under US export controls. According to the report, Culper believed Chinese demand for Nvidia AI chips was still being served through intermediaries in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia, and warned that those channels could create legal trouble once regulators started tracing the flows. The article says the call looked contrarian at the time. Nvidia had risen 13% in the prior week and was up 20% year to date, yet Culper wrote that it was short the stock for “one reason” — a significant China problem. Protos added that, except for one day immediately after the report, Nvidia shares have not closed above their May 13 close since then. In the following months, developments described by Protos brought those concerns into public view. Taiwanese prosecutors searched the home and workplace of an Nvidia employee on July 24 in a chip-smuggling case tied to China, and the story surfaced on July 28. The same day, Huang met quietly with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington, DC.
