As first reported by Reuters, ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of TikTok, is planning to train and develop an AI model using chips from fellow Chinese company Huawei. Three anonymous sources approached Reuters with this information;

ByteDance is training its new AI model on Huawei's chips, which are inferior to the ones made by Nvidia, amid ongoing U.S. trade restrictions on exports to China.

As the U.S. escalates export controls on China, TikTok’s owner is reportedly planning to use a homegrown chipmaker for an artificial intelligence model it’s developing.

TikTok's Chinese parent ByteDance plans to develop an AI model trained primarily with chips from compatriot Huawei Technologies, said three people familiar with the matter, as U.S. curbs turn the social media giant homeward in search of chips.

ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, plans to develop an AI model using Huawei chips due to U.S. export restrictions on advanced AI chips. ByteDance has ordered over 100,000 Ascend 910B chips but received fewer than 30,

AI has become central to the technology industry with firms in sectors as varied as gaming and e-commerce differentiating offerings through the integration of custom AI models - programs that employ pattern recognition to make decisions.

Training AI models is far more demanding and requires huge amounts of data, necessitating the use of ultra-high-performance chips such as Nvidia's premium graphics processing units.

ByteDance's next step in the AI race is to use Huawei's Ascend 910B chip to train a large language AI model, said the people TikTok's Chinese parent ByteDance plans to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained primarily with chips from compatriot Huawei Technologies,

ByteDance (BDNCE) is reportedly planning to develop an artificial intelligence model, which will be trained mainly with chips from Huawei Technologies. The TikTok owner is now expected to use Huawei's Ascend 910B chip to train a large-language AI model,
