DeepSeek says it built tools on Huawei Ascend chips
Original: China's DeepSeek says it used open-source tools based on Huawei ascend chips
Chinese AI firm DeepSeek says it used open-source tools running on Huawei Ascend chips, highlighting its reliance on domestically developed hardware. The claim is drawing attention because DeepSeek's models have rivalled leading Western AI systems, and the announcement suggests China's AI progress can continue despite US restrictions on advanced chip exports.
Why now: It suggests China's AI sector can bypass US chip sanctions using domestic hardware.
