Depseek continues to be the artificial intelligence (AI) of the moment five weeks after its irruption. And is that the debate about the hardware used by this Chinese company to train your AI model Keep on the table. High-flyer, your parent company, is A quantitative coverage fund specialized in trading algorithmic. This simply means that this company uses advanced mathematical models and computational algorithms to address investment decisions with the greatest possible success guarantees.
Deepseek was born as a high-flyer secondary project to take advantage of its computer resources and “put one foot” in the AI industry. Its creators say that in the training of their model they have used only 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. However, Some analysts defend that, in reality, its infrastructure brings together 50,000 GPU H100 bought through intermediaries. This is the problem. High-flyer could legally buy the H800 chips to the entry into force of US sanctions of November 16, 2023, but the H100 GPUs should not be in their possession.
Singapore is the entrance door to China of the chips for the most advanced Nvidia
The US government has suspected for many months that Chinese companies and research centers dedicated to AI acquire the most advanced NVIDIA GPUs through Singapore and Malaysian intermediary companies. This possibility is no longer just a hypothesis. And it is that the Singapore government has confirmed that it has identified those responsible for diverting to China, and presumably towards the Deepseek parent company, servers that contain the high -performance GPUs produced by NVIDIA.
The US now has the opportunity to tighten its fence a little more about China
This information was revealed last week by the television channel Channel News Asia, and today the Minister of Internal Affairs and Justice of Singapore, K. Shanmugam, He has confirmed it. Interestingly, it has not specified what the GPUs that incorporate these machines, but it has made public a very important fact: The name of the companies They have manufactured the servers. And they are two very important Nvidia customers: Dell Technologies and Super Micro Computer.
If it is finally confirmed that Depseek, or any other Chinese company that is dedicated to AI, is getting the Nvidia avant -garde GPUs acquiring servers of these companies in Singapore or Malaysia, USA will have the opportunity to tighten your fence a little more. However, this would not demonstrate the guilt of Dell and Super Micro, although its indirect involvement in the traffic of the Nvidia chips.
This circumstance would put on the table the need to control with more precision where their servers will stop, something that, on the other hand, It is not easy. Whatever the Singapore government claims to be willing to collaborate with his American counterpart to end the illegal vanguard GPU traffic.
