The post DeepSeek plans its own inference chip, a threat to Nvidia and Huawei alike appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is designing an in-house chip to run its models, according to sources close to the matter. The disclosure, if true, would reduce its dependence on both Nvidia and Huawei. For a company that already forced a rethink across the industry once, the plan especially puts pressure on the American chipmaker, losing ground in China, and on the domestic suppliers racing to replace it. The race to be the leader of inference The Hangzhou firm is aiming the chip at inference, the stage where a trained model answers user queries. Inference is where AI systems earn their keep at scale, and it is the part of the market Huawei has just started to win with its Ascend line. A DeepSeek chip built for the same job would put the startup in competition with the very homegrown supplier that Chinese tech companies have been scrambling to buy from. Since DeepSeek

The post DeepSeek Develops Custom AI Chip as Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Falls 2% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways DeepSeek is creating a proprietary AI semiconductor tailored for inference operations rather than training This strategic shift aims to decrease dependence on Nvidia and Huawei processors Nvidia stock declined approximately 2% during premarket hours following the announcement The semiconductor project remains in preliminary phases, with DeepSeek discreetly recruiting chip design specialists The company is simultaneously pursuing $7 billion in its inaugural external investment round According to three informed sources, Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has initiated development of a proprietary semiconductor. This processor is specifically engineered for inference tasks—the computational process that enables AI systems to generate outputs—as opposed to the resource-intensive training of new models. DeepSeek is reportedly developing its own AI chip,
The move marks the chipmaker’s first foray into autonomous vehicle technology.
The post China had a new unicorn every 3 days in H1 of 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China has witnessed its second-highest number of new unicorns created in a half-year, amid the boom in AI and robotics. In the first half of 2026, ending June, ITJuzi reports that China produced 67 new unicorns, which are private companies valued at least $1 billion. By that count, it means a new unicorn was created roughly every three days in H1. That’s the second-fastest half-year growth China has witnessed since H2 of 2021, when 76 unicorns were created. AI, robotics mint 53% of new Chinese unicorns At the time in 2021, the growth was spread across electric vehicles, biomedicine, and consumer internet businesses. However, this year’s run was mostly concentrated on AI and robotics, which together accounted for more than 53% of the cohort, according to the report. The standout was DeepSeek.The Hangzhou-based AI company closed its first outside funding round at a valuation of nearly 400
