China's Tech Giants Go Homemade for AI Chips

China's Tech Giants Go Homemade for AI Chips

So, guess what's going on in China? Big tech companies over there like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu are actually trying to make their own computer chips now. It's because they're running out of the ones from Nvidia in the US, and the US is making it harder to get them too. They're starting to test out these new chips to keep up with everyone wanting more AI stuff. I mean, it makes sense, right? If you can't buy what you need, you gotta make it yourself. It's like when you're baking and run out of sugar, so you try using honey instead. Will these new chips be just as good? Idk, but it's kinda interesting to see what happens next, don't you think?
