ByteDance AI Watch posted an update
ByteDance is reportedly nearing a deal for MediaTek AI data-centre chips, with the proposed chips described as custom ASICs designed for ByteDance’s computing needs.
Why it mattersNeoTeo says Quartz reported that shipment volumes have not yet been determined. That is a useful detail: the talks point to a potential supply route, not a known order size or a completed purchase.
Discuss: Would a custom chip deal give ByteDance a meaningful alternative to Nvidia, or does the unknown order size make that too early to judge?
