Huawei claims breakthrough chip design could rival global leaders amid US sanctions

Chinese technology company Huawei has announced a new chip manufacturing approach that it says could help produce advanced semiconductors comparable to some of the world’s most cutting-edge processors, despite ongoing US restrictions on access to key manufacturing technologies. The company said its proposed chip architecture is based on what it described as the “Tau Scaling Law,” which it claims can achieve transistor density levels equivalent to 1.4-nanometre chips. Huawei state...

DeepSeek previews new AI model adapted to run on Huawei chips

DeepSeek, the Chinese startup whose low-cost AI model stunned the world last year, on Friday launched a preview of a highly awaited new model adapted for Huawei chip technology, underlining China's growing self-sufficiency in the sector. The Pro version of the new model outperforms other open-source models in world-knowledge benchmarks, trailing only Google's closed-source Gemini-Pro-3.1, DeepSeek said. The close collaboration with Huawei on the new model, the V4, contrasts with DeepSeek's pas...

US pushing Netherlands, Japan to restrict more chipmaking equipment to China, source says

A U.S. official was headed to Japan after meeting with the Dutch government in an effort to push allies to further crack down on China's ability to produce cutting-edge semiconductors, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday. Alan Estevez, the U.S. export policy chief, was again trying to build on a 2023 agreement between the three countries to keep chipmaking equipment from China that could modernize its military. The U.S. first imposed sweeping restrictions in 2022 on shipm...
