DeepSeek plans massive Huawei chip cluster for AI inference in Inner Mongolia · 5 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [5 sources] ·

DeepSeek is reportedly planning to build a large-scale data center in Inner Mongolia, equipped with 160,000 Huawei Ascend 950DT AI chips. This cluster would be one of the largest known Huawei chip deployments, intended for model inference. However, production and supply chain constraints for the Ascend 950DT chips mean that DeepSeek may not achieve its target number for over a year. AI

IMPACT This large-scale deployment of Chinese-made AI chips could accelerate domestic AI development and reduce reliance on foreign hardware.

RANK_REASON Significant infrastructure investment and deployment of a large number of AI chips by a major Chinese AI company.
