China's Tech Giants Eyeing Homegrown Chips Amid Nvidia Shortage

Hey, so it looks like the big tech companies in China are starting to switch over to using their own chips. Apparently, they're running low on those fancy Nvidia chips, and the U.S. is making it harder to get them because of export rules.

Think of companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu. According to a report in the Financial Times, they're already trying out different chips made right there in China. They need these new chips because everyone in China really wants more AI stuff, and that needs good processors. IDK if this is totally confirmed yet, but it's being reported.
