FACING US EXPORT CONTROLS, CHINA'S DEEPSEEK PLANS TO MAKE ITS OWN CHIPS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

DeepSeek is planning to enter the silicon business. The company has been meeting with potential partners in the hardware and silicon space for the past year and has been hiring engineers for the project. It is focusing on data center chips for inference, likely to reduce its reliance on both Huawei and Nvidia. Developing its own chip could give the company an advantage in a market where data center access is likely to remain constrained.
