How DeepSeek Is Shaping Huawei’s AI Chips in a Growing Challenge to Nvidia

What happened: DeepSeek is working closely with Huawei to shape the design of future AI chips, with Huawei engineers incorporating DeepSeek's requests into design decisions for chips coming out next year and beyond. Why it matters: The collaboration could help China build frontier AI models without Nvidia's technology, and it goes beyond typical talks companies have with chip suppliers about semiconductor road maps.
