House China Committee chair sends letter to US Commerce Secretary Lutnick on Nvidia. $NVDA
Nvidia provided technical support that helped DeepSeek improve its breakthrough AI model despite US export controls aimed at restricting the Chinese startup’s access to high-end American chips, according to the Republican chair of the House China committee.
DeepSeek achieved cutting-edge performance with its R1 model through what Nvidia described as an optimized co-design of algorithms, frameworks and hardware tailored for use with its H800 processors, Representative Moolenaar wrote in a letter on Wednesday to US Commerce Secretary Lutnick.
Moolenaar also said Nvidia proposed offering DeepSeek as an enterprise-ready product to be deployed on its hardware, citing records obtained from the chipmaker.
