Biren Technology, a Chinese AI chip startup, has significantly improved the performance of its hardware for training large language models (LLM) through a collaboration with Tencent-backed Infinigence AI. This partnership increased Biren’s GPU training capacity by almost 100%, addressing challenges faced by Chinese AI startups in accessing sufficient computing resources, particularly those from US-based Nvidia. Infinigence provides on-demand computing through its cloud platform, Infini AI, which integrates chips from multiple vendors, including Nvidia, AMD, Huawei and others. Biren’s GPU cluster has been added to Infini AI, advancing the development of the AI model in China.
