Shanghai Biren Intelligent Technology Co. (
NVIDIA or Alibaba or ST.[3] Biren has advertised two general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs), the BR100 and BR104.[4] Both cards are aimed at artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.[5]
As a result of
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) halted all manufacturing of the company's products.[6] In an apparent effort to get around a stipulation of the U.S. sanctions, Biren reportedly modified their BR100 GPU to be able to process less data, so that it would not qualify for restriction for its manufacturer, TSMC.[7][8]
U.S. sanctions
In October 2023, the United States Department of Commerce added Biren Technology to the Bureau of Industry and Security's Entity List[9]
