BEIJING — China's ByteDance is working with U.S. chip designer Broadcom on developing an advanced AI processor, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, a move that would help TikTok's owner secure sufficient supply of high-end chips amid U.S.-Sino tensions. Securing AI chips is crucial for ByteDance to make its algorithms more powerful. To support its AI push, ByteDance has stockpiled Nvidia chips, according to a separate person who was briefed on the matter. Bytedance currently has hundreds of semiconductor-related job openings posted, including 15 for ASIC chip designers, according to checks of its website. It has also been poaching top people from other Chinese AI chip firms, according to one of the sources who has direct knowledge of this issue.

Here is a guide to the rules for the Scripps National Spelling Bee — and their small changes for this year’s competition, including a shorter allotted time to answer. A speller advances through them by correctly spelling a word and answering a multiple-choice question about its meaning. After the pronouncer says the spelling word, the clock starts. If one speller is correct, that person will be given a spelling word drawn from the Championship Word List.
