- DeepSeek reportedly purchased 160,000 Huawei Ascend 950DT chips for a new 1-gigawatt data center in Inner Mongolia.
- The 950DT is Hopper-class and suited for inference only; DeepSeek's training workloads remain on NVIDIA GPUs.
- Shortages of components like top-end memory will cap Huawei's 950DT output this year at the low hundreds of thousands, limiting supply.
