Alibaba-affiliate Ant combines Chinese and U.S. chips to slash AI development costs

Key Points

Alibaba-affiliate Ant Group is using both Chinese and U.S.-made semiconductors to make its artificial intelligence development more efficient, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The company on Monday also announced “major upgrades” to its AI solutions for healthcare, which it said were being used by seven major hospitals and healthcare institutions.
