DeepSeek’s engine makes non-Nvidia hardware a viable production choice
◆ 90RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack7h ago
The release signals a shift toward hardware agnosticism, allowing you to run top-tier models on non-Nvidia chips without a massive software engineering penalty. This reduces your reliance on CUDA and opens up cheaper or more available compute options in global markets.
Takeaways
- DeepSeek is actively dismantling the software moat surrounding Nvidia’s CUDA ecosystem.
- Huawei's Ascend chips now have first-class support for state-of-the-art model inference.
- Founders can now hedge compute costs by exploring diversified hardware providers.
