DeepSeek is working closely with Huawei to shape the design of future AI chips, with Huawei engineers stationed at DeepSeek's offices, The Information reports.
Huawei engineers are incorporating DeepSeek's requests and suggestions into design decisions for chips coming next year and beyond, including how models calculate and move data between processors, The Information reports.
Huawei engineers have been stationed at DeepSeek's offices for an extended period to work on the collaboration, according to The Information.
In return, Huawei plans to give DeepSeek most of the supply of its Ascend 960DT training chip when it launches next year, ZeroHedge News reports.
Both companies are using the open-source programming language TileLang as an alternative to Nvidia's CUDA, with DeepSeek's models now largely handled by TileLang on Huawei chips, according to ZeroHedge News.
