Another bunch of EVs decide to burn themselves. According to the local statistic of insurance claims, rate of fire for EV is twice of that when compared fo ICE, but the statistic is from one country. BYD are involve in more vehicle fire compared to other EV. It is one of the top performers in hot vehicle.

TikTok’s parent 🇨🇳 ByteDance is assembling computing power with high-end Nvidia chips outside China to fuel its ambition of becoming a global AI leader, and is working with a Southeast Asian company called Aolani Cloud on plans to use some 500 Nvidia Blackwell computing systems in Malaysia totaling around 36,000 B200 chips. Aolani is buying servers from Aivres, a company that assembles servers using Nvidia chips. If all the arrangements are completed, the hardware involved would likely cost more than $2.5 billion. An Aolani spokesman said the company was currently operating with about $100 million in hardware. ByteDance plans to use the computing power for AI R&D outside China, as well as to meet the rising demand for AI from its customers around the globe. ByteDance has global ambitions to challenge Google, OpenAI and other American companies with a range of AI applications for everyday users. The company already brings in around a quarter of its revenue from outside China. ByteDance has created more than a dozen AI apps in China and parallel versions for overseas markets, such as chatbot Dola, video creator Dreamina and homework helper Gauth. Seedance, ByteDance’s AI video-generation model, has won attention recently for its ability to turn script prompts into realistic short movie scenes. The company operates five of the world’s 50 most popular AI consumer apps by monthly active users. ByteDance has sizable teams of AI researchers and engineers in Singapore, San Jose in California and Seattle, who team up with colleagues in China for foundational AI research. The Singapore and US teams also participate in developing AI models and products, including many designed for markets outside China. For more than three years, Chinese tech companies have been grappling with US export controls that prevent Nvidia from selling top-of-the-line AI chips such as the Blackwell series directly to China. Chinese executives have said the curtailed access to computing power is stifling their AI development. Chinese companies are spending more to access computing power outside China, in places where the application of the US export-control rules is less well-established. That has given rise to an industry of middlemen who arrange for data centers to be built with Nvidia chips and lease the computing power to Chinese tech companies. In late 2023, a group of investors set up Aolani and created a holding company as its parent in the Cayman Islands. The investors include Singapore-based venture-capital firm K3 Ventures. Aolani is a tier-1 cloud partner of Nvidia, which means it is certified by the American chip company for priority access to its latest chips. Since Feb 2025, Aolani has leased AI servers in Malaysia containing Nvidia’s H100 chips to ByteDance. For the new Blackwell plan, involving more advanced chips, ByteDance has made initial payments and the devices are also set to be deployed in facilities in Malaysia. In a June 2025 description of its business, Aolani said “Asian hyperscalers” preferred to do business with partners such as Aolani to ensure “compliance in the current geopolitical environment.” In addition to Malaysia, it said it planned to operate facilities in South Korea, Australia and Europe. Also that month, Aolani discussed geopolitical risks in a separate presentation for lenders, saying it worked with a US law firm to ensure compliance. Without giving details, it said the law firm believed “future regulatory changes would likely be prospective, not retroactive.” It was previously reported that ByteDance was in talks to use AI servers containing more than 7,000 B200 chips at a data center in Indonesia. The company’s website says it is seeking to fill more than 100 AI-related vacancies in San Jose and Seattle. wsj.com/tech/chinas-by…
