Singapore-based cloud computing company MegaSpeed is in the international spotlight after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, following reports linking him to MegaSpeed executive Alice Huang.

U.S. intelligence officials believe she is a Chinese intelligence asset, according to The New York Times.

While the Nvidia CEO — one of the world's most prominent executives and a figurehead of the AI industry – did not name MegaSpeed or Alice Huang in his statement, he acknowledged his infidelity and said Nvidia's Board of Directors had begun an independent investigation "regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports."

"I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America's national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American," he said.

Nvidia said in a statement it had "no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised," but that its "Board's inquiry will examine all available information."

Tech darling Nvidia sells advanced AI and data center chips and has customers including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta and Oracle. The explosion in AI adoption in recent years has fueled its stock and pushed it to a $5 trillion market cap this year.

What is MegaSpeed?

MegaSpeed sells services to Asia Pacific-based companies that need large amounts of computing capacity, usually for AI projects, by selling access to computing resources hosted in data centers in Southeast Asia.

It advertises itself as a "core business partner" of Nvidia's computing power cloud business in the region, allowing customers to rent computing power from Nvidia GPUs, or "graphics processing units" — specialized chips designed to do many calculations at the same time.
