DeepSeek plans V5 model training on Huawei Ascend, challenging US export controls

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, is reportedly planning to train its next-generation V5 foundation model using Huawei Ascend processors. This move challenges the assumption that China's AI development is constrained by export controls on advanced silicon for inference. If successful, this could significantly reduce China's reliance on Nvidia for training frontier AI models, potentially faster than anticipated by the US. AI

IMPACT Potentially accelerates China's domestic AI training capabilities, reducing reliance on foreign hardware.
