Malaysia Considers Huawei AI Chips for Sovereign AI Initiative

Malaysia is reportedly leaning toward using Huawei (华为) AI chips to power its sovereign artificial intelligence project. The country is evaluating the use of Huawei hardware as the backbone for a 2 billion ringgit (approximately $494 million) initiative aimed at enhancing national data control. While the exact volume of the potential purchase remains undisclosed, the move is expected to face significant opposition from the U.S. administration under President Donald Trump.
