Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is designing its own artificial intelligence (AI) chip for inference workloads, according to a Reuters report cited by ZeroHedge[1]. The effort, if successful, would reduce the company’s reliance on U.S.-based Nvidia and China-based Huawei for the computing power needed to run its chatbots.
The project remains in early stages, the report stated, and developing a competitive chip could take years. DeepSeek declined to comment on the matter. The move comes as AI model developers increasingly seek to control more of their compute stacks as models transition from training labs to mass-market deployment.
