BEIJING: China’s Baidu-backed semiconductor design firm Kunlunxin said it had won chip orders worth millions of yuan for AI projects of telecoms firm China Mobile, as authorities push for domestic alternatives to Nvidia.

Kunlunxin will supply artificial intelligence chips compatible with the CUDA ecosystem to firms such as H3C Technologies and telecoms equipment maker ZTE that are first-tier suppliers to China Mobile, it said in Thursday’s statement.
