ByteDance joined the chip manufacturing industry. What are they doing?

ByteDance joined the ranks of making chips. What is an abacus?

With the continuous development of the Internet, the chip competition of artificial intelligence will also become a factor of a new round of change, and the Internet enterprise industry has begun to attack the chip field.

ByteDance, a rising star in the Internet industry, is laying out chips, while ByteDance's chips started with cloud AI chips and ARM server chips, and now there are many chip-related positions on major recruitment platforms. From the perspective of the international market, Internet giants such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon have all launched their own chips. When the international market is booming, the domestic market is not far behind, and BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) has also entered the chip field. Baidu launched the Kunlun AI chip in the early years; Alibaba Pingtou Brother launches Tie Xuan 9 10? CPU, including optical 800? AI reasoning chip; With the popularity of big data and artificial intelligence, concepts such as machine learning, deep learning, and cloud computing are also more exposed to the public. In recent years, mainstream Internet and cloud service giants have begun to enter the field of chip design.

Domestic giants are not idle, and Baidu and Ali are also on track. Alibaba announced the establishment of Dharma Institute in 20 17, and then took Zhongtian Micro into its pocket in 20 18. The latter is a domestic independent embedded CPU IP core company. After the integration, Pingtou Ge also introduced RISC-V CPU core Tie Xuan 9 10, cloud AI reasoning chip Guang 800 and other products.

With the accelerated pace of people's life and the arrival of the 5G era, short videos have become popular. The rise of artificial intelligence provides an excellent opportunity for China to overtake in the processor field. Data, algorithm and computing power are considered to be the three most basic elements in the development of artificial intelligence. Under the trend of digital economy sweeping the world, AI chip, as the core of artificial intelligence, is considered to have broad prospects. Regardless of today's headlines or tiktok, ByteDance attaches great importance to understanding and distribution, among which video needs the blessing of AI technology. With the support of artificial intelligence, ByteDance's distribution algorithm has made Tik Tok successful all over the world.

Internet companies enter the field of chips, basically starting with AI chips or Arm server chips. Once developed and applied successfully, the impact on ByteDance is almost immediate. But for ByteDance, its ambition is not just cloud computing. With the advent of the era of 5G and Internet of Everything, the deployment of cloud computing in ByteDance may pave the way for it to enter the IOT field.

Therefore, expanding to other markets outside the cloud market may become one of the future development directions of ByteDance.
