DeepSeek withholds DeepSeek-V4 pre-release access from Nvidia and AMD, shares with Huawei

DeepSeek has given Huawei several weeks of pre-release access to its upcoming DeepSeek-V4 model for hardware optimization, while denying the same access to Nvidia and AMD — a departure from prior practice. Reuters also reported that an unnamed Trump administration official claims DeepSeek-V4 was trained on Nvidia's most advanced chips despite U.S. export controls, though the sourcing is unverified. The move signals deepening geopolitical fragmentation in AI supply chains and aligns with China's push for domestic chip self-sufficiency. DeepSeek-V4 has not yet been publicly released.
