DeepSeek founder says China can end Nvidia dependence within a year
DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng said China’s AI industry is reaching a turning point in its dependence on Nvidia hardware and that chip supply will no longer be a key obstacle within a year. He cited a resource gap with the United States driven by computing power constraints. He said DeepSeek lags U.S. leaders by 12 to 18 months but achieves similar performance with far less computing. DeepSeek is working more closely with Huawei and pursuing its own chips and software tools.

AI full-stack self-reliance is an illusion; focus investment on models and cloud, report says
South Korea cannot achieve AI full-stack self-reliance in the short term because of high foreign dependence across the technology stack, from semiconductors and accelerators to application software, a report said. KISDI urged resetting strategy toward minimum dependence and maximum competitiveness, with near-term 집중 investment in AI models and cloud. A survey of 38 experts found high overseas dependence in six of nine stacks and below-average competitiveness across all areas.
