flag ByteDance is building a $2.5B AI data center in Malaysia with 500 Nvidia Blackwell systems to bypass U.S. chip bans.

flag ByteDance is reportedly building a major AI data center in Malaysia using around 500 Nvidia Blackwell systems with 36,000 B200 chips, potentially costing over $2.5 billion, in partnership with Aolani Cloud and server assembler Aivres. flag The project, aimed at supporting global AI research and development outside China, appears to circumvent U.S. export controls restricting advanced AI chips to China. flag While the U.S. has reportedly considered allowing ByteDance to buy H200 chips under certain conditions, Nvidia has not yet approved the terms. flag The initiative reflects a broader strategy by Chinese tech firms to access high-performance computing abroad amid tightening global semiconductor restrictions.
