DeepSeek’s V3 and R1 models are now accessible through Huawei’s Ascend cloud service, equipped with Ascend 910x accelerators banned in the US, EU, and UK. The pricing is competitively lower than Azure and AWS, both of whom are experimenting with DeepSeek. The company stirred markets with its open reasoning LLM, accused by OpenAI of mimicking their models. Speculations on DeepSeek’s advanced AI hardware access in China raise concerns amidst trade restrictions. A recent collaboration between Huawei and SiliconFlow will offer DeepSeek models at a fraction of the cost to end-users, showcasing China’s push for domestic AI advancement and reduced reliance on foreign technology. This move challenges Western firms and highlights China’s progress in AI independence.
