Chinese AI companies are facing significant compute constraints as AI models move into large-scale deployment, particularly for complex tasks like coding. While domestic chips can handle basic inference, high-demand, high-monetization tasks still rely heavily on scarce Nvidia processors. This has led to a "bipolarization" in demand, where lower-tier tasks can use local hardware, but advanced capabilities remain dependent on foreign supply, hindering commercial viability for some AI applications.
