China to allow ByteDance and Alibaba to buy new Nvidia chips
Original: ByteDance, Alibaba to be allowed by China’s govt. to buy new Nvidia chips
China's government will permit ByteDance and Alibaba to purchase new Nvidia chips, according to a report by The Hindu. The move would give two of China's largest technology companies access to advanced US-made semiconductors for artificial intelligence work, and is drawing attention amid ongoing tensions over US export controls on chip sales to China.
Why now: It signals a possible easing of restrictions on advanced AI chip access for Chinese tech firms amid US-China trade tensions.
