DeepSeek is building an inference chip to cut dependence on Nvidia and Huawei in China’s $50B AI-chip market. DeepSeek’s chip work is still early, with outside partners and private hiring of chip-design engineers. The hard part is not drawing a chip, but making it at scale. Advanced foundries and high-bandwidth memory remain chokepoints because U.S. rules restrict Chinese access. DeepSeek can still gain from a narrower chip built mainly for its own models. A custom inference chip could lower serving costs, reduce power needs, and tighten software-hardware control. --- reuters .com/world/china/chinas-deepseek-developing-its-own-ai-chip-sources-say-2026-07-07/
