DeepSeek Designs In-House AI Inference Chip to Cut Nvidia and Huawei Reliance
Chinese AI firm DeepSeek is developing an in-house processor designed for model inference rather than training, per a Reuters report citing sources.
The company is hiring chip-design engineers and in talks with foundries and memory suppliers to scale the effort. The project remains in early stages, with manufacturing expected to face hurdles from U.S. export controls on advanced foundries and high-bandwidth memory.
