Huawei engineers have been based at DeepSeek for an extended period, incorporating large-model training requirements into next‑generation chip design — including compute-task allocation and inter-processor data transfer. The partnership is moving beyond software adaptation into chip-level co-design. DeepSeek plans to begin large-scale pretraining on Huawei's Ascend 950DT as early as year-end; tests are ongoing and the schedule may change. DeepSeek has previously run models and performed fine‑tuning on Huawei chips.
