DeepSeek helps shape Huawei's next-gen AI chips

DeepSeek is working closely with Huawei to influence the design of future AI chips, with Huawei engineers stationed at DeepSeek's offices for an extended period. Their input covers how models compute and move data between processors in chips due next year and beyond, potentially helping China build frontier AI models without Nvidia technology.
