China's drive to encourage enterprises to adopt domestic AI chips as alternatives to NVIDIA chips presents certain challenges. Recent reports indicate that DeepSeek, at the urging of Beijing authorities, attempted to integrate Huawei chips into its R2 model. However, the company encountered persistent technical hurdles during the training phase, which ultimately delayed the product's release. As a result, DeepSeek was compelled to revert to using NVIDIA chips for training purposes, while retaining Huawei chips for the inference component. This experience underscores the transitional difficulties domestic chip manufacturers may encounter when aiming to fully supplant international heavyweights.
