DeepSeeks artificial intelligence (AI) models are giving Chinese chipmakers like Huawei a competitive edge against U.S. processors, particularly in AI inference tasks. Unlike Nvidias powerful chips designed for training

The rise of DeepSeek's artificial intelligence (AI) models is seen providing some Chinese chipmakers such as Huawei a better chance to compete in the domestic market against more powerful U.S. processors.

DeepSeek’s R1 model uses inference to generate output without needing high-power chips, making Chinese-produced chips a a viable option.
