DeepSeek Plans Big Huawei AI Chip Order to Power New Data Center

DeepSeek intends to install at least 160,000 Huawei AI accelerators in a new data center located in Inner Mongolia. This project represents one of the largest deployments of domestic hardware to date and signals a significant effort to develop infrastructure independent of Nvidia technology. By utilizing Huawei chips at this scale, the move underscores China's broader push to build high-performance computing clusters using local alternatives amid ongoing international trade restrictions.
