👤🇨🇳 China builds Nvidia killer - assembles homegrown AI chip ecosystem

US export bans were meant to freeze China’s AI ambitions but instead sparked a determined push to build a complete domestic alternative - chips, software and all, reports Bloomberg.

Huawei and DeepSeek are leading the charge:

♦️ Huawei supplies Ascend AI chips and next-gen computing systems

♦️ DeepSeek is adapting its models and open-sourcing tools including TileLang for them

♦️ Software aims to provide an alternative to Nvidia’s CUDA ecosystem

♦️ New data center is reportedly planned with at least 160,000 Huawei AI chips

Analysts expect Huawei to reach roughly 50 % of China’s AI-chip market in 2026, while Nvidia shrinks to about 8 %.
