Qualcomm is in talks with ByteDance to provide custom chip design services for a video processing chip, according to a June 24 Reuters report citing four people familiar with the matter. The discussions could expand the companies' cooperation beyond a May AI inference chip foundry agreement, pointing to a broader semiconductor partnership around AI-related workloads. Reuters said the outcome remains uncertain, but if an agreement is reached, mass production of the proposed chip is targeted to begin by year-end.
