3 days ago · DeepSeek's native support for Ascend processors and its PyTorch repository allows for seamless CUDA-to-CUNN conversion with minimal effort, making it easier to integrate Huawei's hardware into AI ...

Jan 29, 2025 · According to AI analyst Alexander Doria, DeepSeek’s R1 large-language model (LLM) was first trained using Nvidia’s H100 but now relies on Huawei’s Ascend 910C chip to generate responses. This shows that AI computing is moving away from Western-made hardware to Chinese-made alternatives, which could be very significant in the global AI race.

Jan 30, 2025 · DeepSeek’s decision to incorporate Huawei’s chips for AI inference is seen as both a technical and strategic choice. While training AI models often demands the computational might of chips like Nvidia’s H100, inference, the process where AI makes predictions or decisions based on training, can be effectively handled by less powerful but more cost-effective alternatives like the Ascend 910C.
