How one of China’s biggest internet companies may be getting access to Nvidia’s top AI chips despite US ban
TikTok-parent ByteDance is reportedly circumventing US export controls by partnering with Southeast Asian cloud providers like Aolani Cloud. The company is arranging to lease thousands of Nvidia's top-tier AI chips, valued at over $2.5 billion, for deployment in Malaysia. This strategy allows ByteDance to access advanced AI hardware without direct ownership, operating within a legal grey area.
