ByteDance is assembling computing power with Nvidia Blackwell systems outside China, working with Aolani Cloud to deploy about 500 systems in Malaysia, totaling roughly 36,000 B200 chips.

Aolani Cloud is a Southeast Asian cloud firm that acquires these servers from Aivres, which assembles servers using Nvidia chips. If the plan goes through, the hardware involved could cost more than US$2.5 billion.
