since 2018, bytedance has begun to explore the chip field and has laid out the chip market through acquisitions and investments. yang zhen, vice president of bytedance, once said, "bytedance has the largest number of user-uploaded videos in the world that need to be analyzed and processed, and there are a large number of chip purchases and applications." however, it was not until 2021 that bytedance officially disclosed the establishment of a team and exploration of ai chip business.

today, bytedance has built a large team in the chip field and invested a lot of money to support related research and development. they actively develop self-developed video codec chips and use them as core technologies to enable video services such as douyin and xigua video to improve service efficiency and user experience. at the same time, they have also begun to explore more chip application scenarios, such as cloud inference acceleration and other fields.

although the size of bytedance's chip team is not as large as that of large chip companies such as alibaba and huawei, its self-developed chip strategy reflects its emphasis on independent innovation and supply chain management. they are constantly exploring new directions in the chip field and trying to reduce operating costs through self-developed chips, while improving the integration of hardware and software services.

although the size of bytedance's chip team is not as large as that of other companies, its active exploration attitude and its emphasis on chip technology have laid a solid foundation for the development of its online service business.
