Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's chip unit T-Head confidentially filed for a Hong Kong IPO, advancing a spin-off to give investors direct exposure to its core artificial intelligence assets. The listing follows clearance from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after a confidential Form A1 submission on September 11. The move highlights rising demand for AI infrastructure in China as firms race to reduce reliance on Nvidia Corp processors.
