Amidst the tightening of US export controls on AI GPU chips destined for mainland China, Tencent President Martin Lau has asserted that the company has amassed a substantial inventory of high-performance GPUs. This substantial stockpile is more than adequate to navigate potential export restrictions and ensure that product development and launch timelines remain unaffected. Lau emphasized that Tencent is progressively reducing its reliance on large-scale computing power, demonstrating that even with smaller clusters, it can achieve impressive training results. The current reserves of high-end chips are sufficient to support multiple generations of model training, reinforcing the company's resilience amidst the changing geopolitical landscape.
