Global demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure<\/a> continues to surge, and China\u2019s largest internet companies are stepping up spending.<\/p>\n

TikTok parent ByteDance is ramping up its artificial intelligence spending and plans to allocate about 100 billion yuan ($14 billion) to Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<\/a>NVDA<\/a>) chips in 2026.<\/p>\n

The proposed budget, up from roughly 85 billion yuan in 2025, reflects ByteDance\u2019s aggressive push to expand AI infrastructure across its apps, cloud services, and large language models, SCMP reported<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Don’t Miss:<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the company could increase its total AI investment to as much as 160 billion yuan by 2026.<\/p>\n

With a private valuation of nearly $500 billion, the company\u2019s internal semiconductor unit has moved forward with the tape-out of a new processor designed to rival Nvidia\u2019s H20 chip for the Chinese market, offering a more cost-efficient alternative.<\/p>\n

Rising computing demand across TikTok, Douyin, its Volcano Engine cloud platform, and its AI models is driving the surge in spending.<\/p>\n

The company is also aggressively investing in memory technologies, including high-bandwidth memory.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nvidia is considering an expansion of production for its H200 artificial intelligence chips to tap into the Chinese demand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump said that the U.S. will allow Nvidia to sell H200 processors to China, provided the company pays a 25% fee on each shipment.<\/p>\n

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<\/a>BABA<\/a>) and ByteDance have already approached Nvidia to place sizable orders, although Beijing has yet to approve any H200 imports formally.<\/p>\n

Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated Nvidia as his top AI pick, saying the company still leads AI computing by at least one whole generation.<\/p>\n

However, he cautioned that China-related uncertainty remains as Nvidia navigates new U.S. export rules.<\/p>\n

Nvidia became the first company to reach a $4.5 trillion market value in October as global AI demand continued to drive explosive growth for its GPUs.<\/p>\n
