What Happened
Chinese AI company DeepSeek is reportedly developing its own AI chip, according to multiple reports. This initiative is understood to be a strategy to circumvent US export controls on advanced technology.
DeepSeek has previously made significant advancements in the AI field, including the creation of a large language model with 1.6 trillion parameters and a 1-million-context-token model, which was reportedly crafted without Nvidia hardware. The company is also said to be working on an AI accelerator aimed at rivaling Nvidia within months.
The development of its own AI chip would allow DeepSeek to reduce its reliance on foreign hardware and potentially overcome restrictions imposed by the United States on the export of advanced technology.
