TikTok owner ByteDance may use a domestic source to develop a new AI model

ByteDance has diversified to domestic suppliers of chips since the U.S. started restricting its exports.

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.
