Brief news summary

ByteDance and Broadcom have engaged in discussions regarding a potential collaboration on an AI processor to support the development of technology at TikTok's parent company. The two companies are said to have considered a 5-nanometer chip, although no agreement has been reached thus far. Broadcom already supplies a 7nm AI processor to ByteDance, and the proposed chip would comply with US trade restrictions on China. If a deal is reached, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. would manufacture the customized chip. The partnership between the TikTok owner and global semiconductor firms is noteworthy given US efforts to curtail Chinese chipmaking ambitions. The collaboration aims to ensure a reliable supply of chips for ByteDance, as it competes with rivals like Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Google in the AI field. Representatives for ByteDance, Broadcom, and TSMC have not commented on the discussions.
