Oracle Cancels $7 Billion Tencent AI Chip Deal After US Government Pressure
Oracle has canceled a $7 billion AI chip leasing deal with Tencent following pressure from the Trump administration, according to the Financial Times. US officials reportedly raised concerns about the agreement, which would have provided Tencent access to about 100,000 advanced AI chips unavailable in China due to export restrictions. Tencent also faced domestic pressure from Guangdong officials to support Chinese-made chips. Oracle, Tencent, and the White House have not commented on the report, which Reuters could not independently verify.
