Nov 6 (Reuters) - The White House has informed other

federal agencies that it will not permit Nvidia ( NVDA ) to sell

its latest scaled-down AI chips to China, The Information

reported on Thursday, citing three people familiar with the

matter.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) has provided samples of the chip to several of its

Chinese customers, according to the report.

The chip, known as the B30A, can be utilized to train large

language models when efficiently arranged in large clusters, a

capability many Chinese companies require, the report added.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) is working on modifying the B30A's design in hopes

that the U.S. administration will reconsider its stance, the

report said, citing two company employees.

An Nvidia ( NVDA ) spokesperson told Reuters that the company has

"zero share in China's highly competitive market for datacenter

compute, and do not include it in our guidance."

White House did not immediately respond to Reuters' request

for a comment.
