The owner of TikTok is working with a US tech firm to design its own AI processor as the social media giant seeks to secure is own supply of chips amid heightened US-China relations, according to a report by Reuters.
The partnership with California-based Broadcom involves developing a five nanometre chip, designed to be compliant with US export restrictions in what is believed to be the first semiconductor partnership between an American and a Chinese company since the US introduced export controls for certain kinds of high-end chips in 2022.
