Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang<\/a> said on a recent podcast that if Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek<\/a> optimised its new models on chips from Huawei Technologies<\/a>, it would be \u201ca horrible outcome\u201d for the US.<\/p>\n

If \u201cfuture AI models are optimised in a very different way than the American tech stack\u201d, and as \u201cAI diffuses out into the rest of the world\u201d with Chinese standards and technology, China \u201cwill become superior to\u201d the US, Huang said on the Dwarkesh Podcast on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The conversation came ahead of the much-awaited launch of DeepSeek\u2019s V4 foundation model, expected later this month. US news outlet The Information reported earlier this month that V4 would run on Huawei\u2019s latest Ascend 950PR processor, while a separate report by Reuters last month suggested that the model had been trained on Nvidia\u2019s Blackwell chips, which would be a violation of US export controls.<\/p>\n

DeepSeek\u2019s V3 model, launched in late 2024, was trained on 2,048 Nvidia H800 graphics processing units (GPUs), based on the ageing Hopper technology. The product, tailor-made for the China market to circumvent export controls, was banned from sale to China in 2023. Regulatory restrictions had eased recently under the Trump administration, with Nvidia restarting production of the H200, a more powerful chip, to be sold in China, Huang said in March.<\/p>\n

Huang has repeatedly called for more collaboration between the two countries in AI, but US lawmakers appeared to have grown more hostile. On Thursday, lawmakers and experts accused China of buying \u201cwhat they can<\/a>\u201d and stealing<\/a> \u201cwhat they cannot<\/a>\u201d in the AI industry, and called for the government to evaluate putting DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and MiniMax on the entity list for export control.\"DeepSeekDeepSeek is expected to launch its V4 foundation model later this month.
