ByteDance is reportedly developing a custom CPU to support AI requirements
May 28 – Sources told Reuters that ByteDance is developing its own central processing unit (CPU) to address the growing demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The Chinese tech giant’s expansion plans are being constrained by recent surges in chip prices and long-term supply shortages. This move underscores the industry’s acceleration toward the “inference” stage of AI, which has drastically increased CPU demand and led to a CPU shortage in recent months.
Sources added that ByteDance plans to deploy its in-house developed CPUs in servers and data centers to support internal operations and prepare for the large-scale launch of its proxy products, including the Coze platform.
ByteDance is advancing along two CPU architecture paths: one based on the Arm architecture, and the other built on the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture. The company is evaluating which design is more suitable for its long-term data center needs. Currently, ByteDance procures CPUs
