ByteDance gained access to 2,000 Nvidia B200 chips via Norway

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

A filing shows ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, gained access to more than 2,000 Nvidia B200 AI chips through Nscale's data center in Norway. The filing also reveals that a Singaporean subsidiary, Spring, contributed 73 percent of the UK neocloud's 2025 revenue. The arrangement raises questions about how Chinese firms access advanced US chips despite export controls.

Why now: It highlights a possible loophole in US chip export controls, letting a Chinese company use top-tier Nvidia hardware via European infrastructure.
