ByteDance is shifting its AI development strategy by using Huawei chips instead of NVIDIA's to navigate trade restrictions, signaling a broader trend among Chinese firms.
With the Chinese government's restrictions on AI chip imports from the U.S., ByteDance has turned to Huawei's Ascend 910B chips, which offer enhanced GPU performance.
The transition away from NVIDIA chips by ByteDance and other Chinese companies reflects China's efforts to strengthen local technology and lessen reliance on Western supply chains.
Despite only receiving 30,000 out of a 100,000 order due to chip shortages, ByteDance's move to Huawei underlines the urgency of the geopolitical tech race.
