TikTok is on the hunt for a huge compute capacity upgrade — so is it replacing Oracle, or just exploring its options?
TikTok is exploring computing capacity of up to 4 gigawatts by the early 2030s while maintaining Oracle as its primary American provider.
TikTok is searching for a significant increase in computing capacity, potentially reaching 4 gigawatts by the early 2030s, according to reports. Oracle is TikTok's main American cloud provider, despite the company's growth plans. The need for additional infrastructure has prompted TikTok's American business to explore options beyond its current resources, though its partnership with Oracle remains central to American operations.
The company has not ruled out replacing Oracle, but has not disclosed whether it intends to obtain additional computing capacity from other providers. TikTok's growing artificial intelligence ambitions could drive the demand for computing infrastructure, with recruitment activities indicating ongoing development in machine learning and AI systems.
