Bytedance dikabarkan mengakses chip AI terbaru NVIDIA di luar China

Bytedance, perusahaan induk TikTok asal China, dikabarkan bermitra dengan perusahaan berbasis Singapura untuk membeli chip AI B200 canggih NVIDIA guna digunakan di Malaysia, menghindari pembatasan ekspor AS. Pengaturan ini bertujuan mendukung penelitian dan pengembangan AI di luar China. Proyek ini melibatkan investasi signifikan dan mematuhi peraturan ekspor.

Bytedance telah menemukan cara untuk mengatasi kontrol ekspor AS terhadap perangkat keras AI canggih dengan berkolaborasi dengan Aolani Cloud, perusahaan berbasis Singapura, untuk membangun sistem komputasi di Malaysia. Menurut laporan dari The Wall Street Journal, pengaturan ini akan memberikan akses ke sekitar 36.000 chip B200, prosesor paling kuat NVIDIA hingga saat ini. Inisiatif ini diperkirakan menelan biaya lebih dari $2,5 miliar, dengan chip tersebut ditujukan untuk penelitian dan pengembangan AI di luar China. The B200 chip, designed in California, falls under US export restrictions that prevent its direct sale to China. Aolani Cloud will purchase the components from NVIDIA and operate the systems exclusively in Malaysia, allowing Bytedance indirect access. An NVIDIA spokesperson stated, Secara desain, aturan ekspor memungkinkan cloud dibangun dan dioperasikan di luar negara-negara terkendali. Perusahaan menekankan bahwa semua mitra cloud menjalani tinjauan sebelum menerima produk. A representative from Aolani Cloud told Reuters that the firm complies with all applicable export control regulations. Bytedance will be one of multiple customers, with Aolani planning to offer cloud-computing services to companies across Asia and globally. Currently, Aolani operates with about $100 juta in hardware, and Bytedance's planned $2,5 miliar investment highlights the scale of this expansion. Separately, the US recently permitted Bytedance to purchase NVIDIA's H200 chips, but these face a 25 persen tariff and a Know-Your-Customer requirement to prevent access by China's military. NVIDIA has not yet agreed to these terms. This development follows broader trends where Chinese firms seek alternatives to restricted technologies.
