The US Treasury has published final regulations prohibiting US investment in Chinese AI development where systems are trained on computational power exceeding 10^25 FLOP (or 10^24 with certain architectures), or where AI is designed for military, mass surveillance, or government intelligence end uses. The rules codify compute thresholds as primary triggering criteria, independent of end use, and carve out limited exceptions for employee equity and certain LP positions. This translates to broad sectoral restrictions on US capital flowing to Chinese AI infrastructure at scales approaching frontier capability, coupled with narrower prohibitions on surveillance and military applications.
