DeepSeek V5 to leverage Huawei Ascend chips for pre-training

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

DeepSeek is planning to use Huawei's Ascend chips for the pre-training of its upcoming DeepSeek V5 large model. This marks a significant shift from previous uses of Ascend chips, which were primarily for inference tasks. DeepSeek has been actively collaborating with Huawei, co-developing the Ascend software stack and releasing infrastructure components tailored for the platform. This move aims to bolster domestic computing power for AI training, though challenges remain in migrating ecosystems and associated costs. AI

IMPACT This collaboration could accelerate the adoption of domestic AI hardware for training, potentially reducing reliance on foreign chip manufacturers.
