Engineers from Microsoft and Chinese company ByteDance have announced a collaboration on the KubeRay project. The software is designed to help companies use AI applications more effectively. CNBC.
ByteDance engineer Jaxin Shan and Microsoft programmer Ali Canso shared details of the project at the Ray Summit event in San Francisco. They discussed their progress with experts and developers interested in building applications using Ray’s open source software.
Shang and Kanso revealed the technical details of KubeRay and talked about the benefits of the software for designing AI applications that run on multiple computers at the same time.
“Jiaxin and I have been working on an open source project for a year now. […]. We are not in the same company, but we meet every week,” Canso said.
Collaboration between tech giants on open source software is a common practice, experts say. However, the case of Microsoft and ByteDance stands out against the background of the growing rivalry between the US and China in the field of AI and intellectual property.
Previously, the companies had experience of cooperation. In 2020, Microsoft wanted purchase TikTok at ByteDance at a time when former US President Donald Trump threatened to ban the app for security reasons.
A year later, CEO Satya Nadella named failed deal with the “weirdest thing” he’s ever worked on.
Recall that in August, Oracle launched a test of algorithms and content moderation models in TikTok for manipulation by the Chinese authorities.
In July 2020, the Anonymous hacker group accused TikTok of mass surveillance of users and transferring data to the Chinese authorities.
