DeepSeek Plans Large Huawei AI Chip Deployment Amid Nvidia Dependence Reduction
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek plans to deploy at least 160,000 Huawei Ascend 950DT AI accelerators at a new data center in Inner Mongolia, potentially creating one of the largest Huawei AI chip clusters. This move aims to reduce reliance on Nvidia processors for AI model operations. However, Huawei's limited production capacity and component shortages may delay fulfillment for over a year. DeepSeek continues to use Nvidia chips for training and is seeking funding to expand its AI infrastructure.
