HUAWEI AI CHIP-POWERED DEEPSEEK R2 TIPPED TO LAUNCH THIS MONTH

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

DeepSeek R2 is expected to go official later this month. It is expected to be an advanced Mixture-of-Experts model. The model will be powered by the Huawei Ascend AI chip at launch. Analysts expect the pricing of DeepSeek R2 to be significantly lower than that of OpenAI's GPT-5, indicating it may subvert the pricing model of existing AI services.
