UAE minister of foreign trade says the UAE will soon import high-end AI chips from the US.

巴西貿易部長：預計與美國的談判將很快恢復。

July 23 — In a leaked investor meeting, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng said Chinese AI compute faces a historic replacement opportunity, arguing domestic chips have no hardware or ecosystem adaptation barriers and that NVIDIA cannot block the substitution. He said capacity is the only current constraint and expects market perceptions that domestic chips are unusable or inferior to reverse within a year. Liang said NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem moat is rapidly eroding and that export controls and concurrent industry shifts have opened a window for domestic AI chips. He said DeepSeek has partnered with Huawei, secured 16,000 Huawei 950 cards to validate the stack, and claimed Huawei's 950 supernode matches and can fully substitute NVIDIA GB200/GB300 on performance and price.
