FT: Bytedance bruker Nvidia-brikker via Norge
Kinesiske Bytedance bruker Aker-dominerte Nscale til å omgå amerikanske regler, ifølge Financial…
The FT reports that Chinese tech giant Bytedance is using Nvidia chips through Norway-based Nscale, despite not being directly named in the company's filing for an American stock exchange listing. Nscale, a subsidiary of Singapore firm Spring (SG) PTE Ltd., accounted for nearly three-quarters of Bytedance's revenue of 33 million dollars in the previous year.
The company disclosed this information to the Financial Times, which also noted that Nscale avoided commenting on the matter. Nscale filed its prospectus for a potential 35 billion dollar stock listing on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday. The company aims to raise capital by leveraging a loan of 105 million dollars from Australian bank Macquarie Bank, with Spring leasing 2,304 advanced Nvidia B200 chips in May 2025.
Bytedance's involvement led to Nscale's arrangement with Nvidia chips in Glomfjord, Norway, to access chips unavailable in China. The arrangement exploits loopholes in U.S. trade restrictions, though it exposes Nscale to regulatory and reputational risks.
