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.
