ByteDance is collaborating with Southeast Asian firm Aolani Cloud to deploy approximately 500 Nvidia Blackwell computing systems in Malaysia.
The initiative involves roughly 36,000 Nvidia B200 chips.
The project carries an estimated cost exceeding $2.5 billion.
This deployment allows ByteDance to access advanced U.S. semiconductor technology currently barred from direct export to China.
ByteDance will utilize the computing power for artificial intelligence research and development outside of China to support global service demand.
