DigiTimes Asia reports that Chinese AI firms are implementing a multi-chip hybrid approach to improve AI capabilities. The multi-chip approach also brings several advantages. These include increasing LLM training speeds using multi-GPU parallel training, allowing more data to be processed simultaneously for better memory utilization, and reducing costs by not relying solely on expensive Nvidia chips.
Chinese tech companies are bundling GPUs from different suppliers for their AI training needs to circumvent American sanctions limiting their access to advanced hardware. With the White House taking active measures to stop U.S.-made tech from entering China, like revoking eight of Huawei's export licenses in 2024, data center GPUs required for advanced AI processing are getting more complicated in the East Asian Country.
