The White House has informed other federal agencies that it will not permit Nvidia to sell its latest scaled-down AI chips to China, The Information reported on Thursday, citing three people familiar with the matter.
Nvidia has provided samples of the chip to several of its Chinese customers, according to the report.
The chip, known as the B30A, can be utilised to train large language models when efficiently arranged in large clusters, a capability many Chinese companies require, the report added.
