China's Tech Giants Trying Out Homegrown Chips

China's Tech Giants Trying Out Homegrown Chips

Okay, so get this. Looks like some of the biggest tech companies over in China are starting to ditch the chips they've been using from Nvidia. Yeah, reportedly, they're running low on those and, like, the US is making it harder to get them anyway.

So, what are they doing? They're apparently trying out chips made right there in China! Big names like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu are supposedly testing these new chips. Why? 'Cause everyone's wanting more AI stuff these days, and they need chips for that. That's what the Financial Times said anyway, based on what some people in the business told them. Reuters couldn't totally confirm it yet, though. Makes you wonder what kind of cool AI they're planning, right?
