DeepSeek readies V4 on Huawei chips amid bulk orders
Technology
Chinese AI company DeepSeek is gearing up to drop its V4 model, powered by Huawei's latest chips.
Big names like Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent have placed bulk orders for these chips totaling hundreds of thousands of units.
The official launch date isn't out yet, but the buzz is real.
DeepSeek tests V4 with Huawei Cambricon
DeepSeek teamed up with Huawei and Cambricon to tweak code and run tons of tests before launch.
Unlike most companies that rely on US chipmakers early on, DeepSeek is going all in on Chinese tech, even building two more V4 models built to run on Chinese chips.
This move could boost China's spot in global AI and help cut down dependence on foreign technology.
