00:00Chinese AI company DeepSeq has not shown U.S. chipmakers its upcoming flagship model for performance optimization.
00:08This is according to a Reuters report citing sources familiar with the matter.
00:13Now this breaks from standard industry practice ahead of a major model update.
00:22Instead, the company, which is expected to launch its next major update, V4, granted early access to domestic suppliers, including
00:31Huawei Technologies.
00:32AI developers typically share pre-release versions of major models with leading chipmakers such as NVIDIA and AMD to ensure
00:41their software performs efficiently on widely used hardware.
00:45DeepSeq has previously worked closely with NVIDIA's technical staff.
00:49For its forthcoming model, which was expected to be released around the Lunar New Year holiday,
00:55DeepSeq did not provide access to NVIDIA and AMD and gave Chinese chipmakers a head start of several weeks to
01:02optimize their software for their processes, the sources said.
01:06NVIDIA and AMD declined to comment while DeepSeq and Huawei did not respond to requests from Reuters for comment.
