ChainCatcher report: According to Bloomberg on September 4, AI company DeepSeek plans to deploy at least 160,000 of Huawei Technologies' top-tier accelerators at a large data center under construction in Inner Mongolia, potentially forming one of the largest known clusters of Huawei AI chips and advancing China’s efforts to replace NVIDIA. DeepSeek intends to run its models on Huawei’s next-generation Ascend 950DT chips, with installation timelines dependent on Huawei’s production capacity. Sources indicate that the company currently does not plan to use the 950DT chips for training, despite Huawei designing and marketing these processors for more demanding training tasks. DeepSeek previously attempted to train models using Huawei chips but still relies on NVIDIA accelerators for this critical step.
