A Chinese artificial intelligence company called DeepSeek is developing its upcoming V4 model to operate using the newest processors created by Huawei Technologies, according to a Friday report from The Information, a technology news publication.
Major technology companies in China, such as Alibaba Group, ByteDance, and Tencent Holdings, have reportedly ordered massive quantities of Huawei’s new processors in advance of the V4 model’s release, with purchases reaching hundreds of thousands of units, the report stated.
The Information based its reporting on information from five individuals who have direct knowledge of these processor purchases.
Neither Huawei Technologies nor DeepSeek provided immediate responses to requests for comment from Reuters, which were sent during non-business hours.
