ByteDance in Talks to Secure MediaTek AI Chips for Data Centers
TikTok parent ByteDance is reportedly in talks with Taiwanese chip designer MediaTek to secure AI chips for its data centers. The move would help the Chinese tech giant expand its artificial intelligence computing capacity amid rising demand and tightening US export restrictions on advanced chips to China. MediaTek, which designs chips for clients including Nvidia, is seen as a viable alternative supplier.
Why now: Ongoing US-China chip tensions are pushing Chinese tech firms to secure alternative AI chip supplies.
