Chinese Tech Giants Eyeing Homegrown Chips

Okay, so get this: China's biggest tech companies? Yeah, stuff like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu. They're apparently starting to look at using chips made right there in China. Why? Well, it sounds like they're running a bit low on those chips they usually get, especially from Nvidia.

Plus, you know how the US has been putting some tighter rules on what can be exported? That's definitely playing a part too. Basically, they need chips for all the AI stuff they're doing, and they're testing out these local options. It's kind of a big deal, right? Makes you wonder how that's going to play out.
