AI summary iconSummary
DeepSeek is deploying 160,000 Huawei Ascend 950DT chips in an AI data center in Wulanchabu, Inner Mongolia. The project, part of a 1GW-scale facility, will focus on model inference, while training continues to rely on NVIDIA GPUs. Local operators will supplement the computing capacity. This initiative follows growing interest in AI and crypto developments alongside ongoing inflation data releases.
ME AI News, Beating AI Bulletin: Bloomberg, citing sources, reports that DeepSeek plans to deploy at least 160,000 Huawei Ascend 950DT chips at its AI data center under construction in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia. If implemented as planned, this would become one of the largest known clusters of Huawei AI chips to date. DeepSeek also intends to purchase more, but Huawei’s current production capacity cannot keep up, and full delivery may take over a year. These 950DT chips will be used to run DeepSeek models, but DeepSeek has no current plans to use them for training. To date, DeepSeek has primarily relied on NVIDIA GPUs for core training. The 160,000 chips represent only a portion of the overall project. DeepSeek previously planned to build an approximately 1GW AI data center in Ulanqab and lease additional computing power from other local operators. (Source: BlockBeats)
