The U.S. Commerce Department said on Wednesday it has authorized the export of advanced American semiconductors - the equivalent of up to 35,000 NVIDIA Blackwell chips - to two companies in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The two companies are G42, which is a state-run AI company based in Abu Dhabi, and Humain, which is a Saudi government-backed AI venture.

"Both companies are receiving approvals to purchase the equivalent of up to 35,000 Nvidia Blackwell chips (GB300s)," the Commerce Department said in a statement.
