ByteDance’s announcement to purchase $7 billion worth of Nvidia chips for 2025 has sparked significant interest in AI hardware markets, sending Nvidia’s stock up 6%. This strategic investment, focusing on overseas data centers in Malaysia, includes advanced H100, Blackwell, and H20 chips compliant with U.S. export rules. ByteDance aims to power Doubao, its ChatGPT rival with 50 million users, demonstrating the rising demand for AI technology. The move shows ByteDance’s global ambitions despite U.S. chip export restrictions and reinforces Nvidia’s leadership in AI innovation.
My Take
ByteDance’s plan to use Nvidia chips in its Malaysia operations highlights how Chinese companies adapt to U.S. export restrictions by strategically localizing infrastructure in compliant regions.
