DeepSeek Unveils Software Tools for Huawei AI Chips

DeepSeek has announced the release of software developed in collaboration with Huawei Technologies to program artificial intelligence chips, highlighting the close partnership between the two Chinese companies.

The tools focus on the programming side of AI hardware, an essential part of making chips usable for developers building and running artificial intelligence applications.

The release underscores how DeepSeek and Huawei are working together on technologies that could compete with the ecosystem built around US chipmaker Nvidia.

It also highlights the importance of software in that competition. Providing alternatives to established AI platforms requires not only chips, but also the tools developers need to work with them.
