According to CoinMeta, Shi Yunfeng, the person in charge of ByteDance's DPU team, who also works on the AI chip, has submitted his resignation and is currently in the process of handing over his duties. This year, ByteDance's AI chip, which was launched for testing, did not meet expectations in terms of performance and has not yet been widely deployed within the company's internal services. The team is now working on developing the next generation of products. ByteDance began to form its AI chip team in 2019, choosing a route similar to Google's TPU by using dedicated chips (ASIC), with the aim of optimizing computing efficiency and energy consumption for its own AI services. Currently, efforts to adapt operators for ADA targeting DouBao and Seedance are still in progress, but with limited progress so far. ByteDance's business departments are in urgent need of more computing power, and directly purchasing mature GPU chips would be a more straightforward way to meet this demand. ByteDance recently restructured its chip business architecture in February this year, and Shi Yunfeng's resignation marks another change within the team. In addition to developing its own chips internally, ByteDance has also attempted to introduce external chip technologies, but these related transactions have not yet been realized.
