Foreign media: Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek hints that China is about to launch its own "next-generation" AI chip. The company mentioned on its official social media account that its newly released V3.1 model was specifically designed for an upcoming domestic chip, but did not reveal the chip supplier or the chip's usage.
This news has sparked speculation in the market about China's breakthroughs in the AI chip field. The DeepSeek's V3.1 model uses UE8M0 FP8 data format, which accelerates AI training and inference by reducing precision, thereby lowering memory and bandwidth requirements.
If combined with China's domestic chips, it may achieve better hardware-software collaboration, marking a key progress in China's efforts to build a self-reliant AI technology stack, helping to overcome U.S. chip export restrictions.
