Chubby♨️@kimmonismus · X据报道，字节跳动正在开发基于 Groq LPU 架构的自研推理芯片。该架构将模型保存在片上 SRAM 中，跳过了受美国对华出口管制最严格限制的组件——高带宽内存。字节跳动的内存合作伙伴 InnoStar 在台积电的成熟制程节点进行生产，这些节点也处于管制之外。这一系列设计选择均旨在规避美国的限制，而正是同一架构，Nvidia 刚刚花费约200亿美元获得了其授权。
ByteDance is reportedly building its own inference chip modeled on Groq's LPU， the same architecture Nvidia paid roughly $20B to license in December.
The LPU keeps the model in on-chip SRAM and skips high-bandwidth memory. HBM is the component the US restricts most tightly for export to China. ByteDance's memory partner InnoStar fabs at TSMC's mature nodes， which also sit outside the controls.
Each of those choices routes around a US restriction. What's left is the architecture Nvidia just spent $20B to own.
China is increasingly moving toward developing its own chips and is succeeding in becoming ever more independent of the USA.
That is truly impressive.
