Rumor: DeepSeek to pretrain ~2T-param V5 on Huawei Ascend 950, release may slip to 2027

- An unverified rumor claims DeepSeek plans to pretrain its 2T-parameter V5 on Huawei Ascend 950/950DT silicon, with Huawei engineers embedded in DeepSeek's offices, pushing the actual V5 release toward 2027.
- The poster is skeptical: 2T looks like the natural size for V4.1 Pro, and Ascends favor hyper-sparse large MoEs.
- The quoted rumor also describes DeepSeek's physical-AI push: stakes in Unitree's IPO, a seed round in zero-revenue startup Winverse AI, and backing a motion-control startup.
