Tech war: Tencent pushes adoption of Chinese AI chips as mainland cuts reliance on Nvidia
The Shenzhen-based tech conglomerate’s cloud computing unit, Tencent Cloud, said it was supporting “mainstream domestic chips” in its AI computing infrastructure, without naming any Chinese integrated circuit brand.
Tencent has “fully adapted to mainstream domestic chips” and “participates in the open-source community”, Tencent Cloud president Qiu Yuepeng said at the company’s annual Global Digital Ecosystem Summit on Tuesday.
It is a commitment that reflects growing efforts in the country’s semiconductor industry and AI sector to push forward Beijing’s tech self-sufficiency agenda amid US export restrictions on China and rising geopolitical tensions.
