ByteDance accessed Nvidia B200 chips via Norwegian data center

Original: China's ByteDance gained access to over 2k Nvidia B200 chips through Norway

ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of TikTok, gained access to more than 2,000 Nvidia B200 chips through Nscale's data center in Norway, according to a new filing. A Singaporean subsidiary called Spring accounted for 73% of the UK-based neocloud's 2025 revenue. The report is drawing attention because the US restricts exports of advanced Nvidia AI chips to China, raising questions about how US-made hardware reached a Chinese firm indirectly.

Why now: It highlights a potential loophole in US export controls on advanced AI chips destined for China.
