ByteDance, the parent company of the platform…Tik Tok“To develop an artificial intelligence model that trains using chips from”Huawei(Huawei) According to 3 people familiar with the matter, US restrictions push the social media giant to its home country of China in search of chips, according to Reuters.
The parent company has diversified between local chips used in artificial intelligence and developed its own chips, since the United States in 2022 began imposing restrictions on the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips such as those produced by NVIDIA.
ByteDance’s next step in the artificial intelligence race is to use Huawei’s Ascend 910B chip to train a large artificial intelligence model, according to people who preferred to remain anonymous because the plan is confidential, according to Reuters.
A fourth person said ByteDance was planning a new artificial intelligence model, but could not say whether it would also use Huawei chips.
The three of them and another source stated that ByteDance uses the Ascend 910P chip mainly for inference tasks that require less computing power, including pre-trained artificial intelligence models.
One of the people said the new model’s capacity and complexity would be less powerful than ByteDance’s current AI model.
But company spokesman Michael Hughes said: “The whole premise here is wrong. No new model is being developed.”
The increasing focus on artificial intelligence has made ByteDance one of the largest buyers of AI chips from Huawei, the three people said.
They added that the increasing focus on artificial intelligence has made ByteDance one of the largest buyers of artificial intelligence chips from Huawei. It is also the largest buyer of Nvidia’s H20 artificial intelligence chip, which the American chipmaker designed for the Chinese market in response to trade restrictions.
Two separate sources said that the owner of TikTok is also Microsoft’s largest customer in Asia for NVIDIA chips that can be accessed via cloud computing.
