ByteDance may spend $14 billion in Nvidia chips in 2026 to power AI ‘Inference Engine'
ByteDance plans a significant $14.29 billion investment in Nvidia AI chips for 2026, despite US restrictions on advanced models. The company is also developing custom GPUs with Broadcom and TSMC, aiming for domestic chips to power TikTok's core functions. This move aligns with China's mandate for local chipmakers to increase reliance on domestic equipment.
