Byd, Catl and Huawei fight for the final electric car charger

by

“Load 400 kilometers in five minutes.” That was the phrase that starred in the media. Justly. In fact, in Xataka We also cover the news of the last great novelty of Byd, a recharge for electric cars capable of filling the batteries at the same rate as a hose full of gasoline the deposit of a combustion car. The announcement arrived last March as another sample of to what extent The Chinese electric car is one step ahead. Especially as far as recharge costs and proposals are concerned. Little more than a month later, we have already seen two other proposals that point in the same direction. China ahead in electric cars recharge When Byd presented his ultra -grape loaders, we did not imagine that a war on the technology of the recharge of electric cars in such a short time would be opened. As if they already had their prepared proposal and Byd’s announcement had accelerated the plans for their announcement, Catl and Huawei have had to show their cards. On April 21, the Chinese company Catl He presented his latest innovations in his Tech Day. There they highlighted that they already had a sodium battery (One of the great promises to reduce the electric car) that they hope to produce this year, although in the month of December. They assure that it is an energy accumulator especially resistant to cold, Another problem of this type of technology. And although they put the focus on their batteries for plug -in hybrids with autonomies of 1,500 kilometers adding what was contributed by the battery and the combustion engine, the most interesting thing was the presentation of a battery that can assume the 520 kilometers recharge in five minutes. After the presentation of Byd, From catl They rose the commitment to an energy accumulator capable of supporting 1.3 MWh loads. That is, an amount slightly higher than that presented by Byd, leaving the figure in 2.5 kilometers loaded per second. In addition, Catl not only boasted of a Recharge extremely fastit also made it clear that they were able to sustain this power at a temperature of 10 degrees below zero, from 5% to 80% of the total capacity in just 15 minutes. And they stressed that it is capable of delivering 830 kW of power (more than 1,000 hp) even when electricity is very close to completely running out. Keep in mind that the speed shown in the homologations of an electric car can differ slightly depending on the load with which the battery has. If the battery is low of loading, it usually delivers less power, the recovery or accelerations from slower standing are. These batteries, just like those of Byd, have the problem that to load that power they need a charger that can deliver that stream of energy. To do this, in ByD they say they will deploy their own network of loaders, with 4,000 recharge points capable of delivering up to 1,360 kW of power. To do this, loaders use a liquid cooling system and, to get an idea, they are figures higher than those announced so far to load electric trucks. However, these figures are lower than shown by Huawei during the presentation of its new loaders for electric cars. The Chinese company presented its new plugs, capable of delivering 1.5 MW or 20 kWh of energy at minute. That is, with the right conditions and battery, a car could load 500 kilometers of autonomy in five minutes. Huawei states that he is able to sustain this power for 15 minutes with his new loaders, which makes them especially interesting for electric trucks. In addition, they say they can operate this power between -30ºC and 60ºC and have a dynamic management of the load delivered so as not to saturate the network and balance the power delivered to the maximum possible without knocking down the electrical installation. The biggest problem of this type of loaders is that they need a huge space for installation but, saved this obstacle, except for exceptions such as byd there are no cars capable of supporting this power. Right now, the fastest recharging vehicles do between 250 and 300 kW so there are no cars that benefit from them. And, despite everything, with that power a car with a battery of 100 kWh (of the largest in the market), would be passed from 10 to 80% of the autonomy available in about 14 minutes. With that 70% of recharged autonomy in less than a quarter of an hour, a car of that size would be recovering about 350 real kilometers if it meets a realistic consumption of 20 kWh/100 km. Interesting? There are doubts that such a high load power is interesting from a purely practical point of view. This same idea is what they hold from Mercedeswho ensure that current standards are more than enough but make it clear that they are aware of the importance of offering this warranty To customers. It is not so much a substantial improvement of what is already had as a positive reinforcement to the client. Entering the fight for offering the most advanced loaders in the market is a brand image, demonstrating that you are at the forefront and give the customer a more purchase incentive although, finally, never use it or do it very promptly.

Huawei plans to advise Nvidia in China. It has a new GPU for theory that in theory is extremely powerful

by

Huawei is putting all the meat on the grill to absorb so much share in the Chinese GPU market for artificial intelligence (AI) as I can. And it is that the entry into force of the last US sanctions package is compromising with all probability Nvidia leadership in China. The US Department of Commerce It has imposed restrictions to the export to the country led by Xi Jinping of The H20 GPUand this in practice means that this chip presumably will not reach the Chinese clients of Nvidia. This last company has announced that this ban will cause a hole in its accounts of 5,500 million dollars Due to the commitments linked to the H20 GPU that had already acquired the reserves of this chip that it will not finally satisfy. Some of the Chinese companies that have bought large amounts from the H20 chip to NVIDIA and who presumably planned to continue doing them are Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance, but at the current situation they will have to resort to an alternative. And Huawei has put it on a tray. The GPU Ascend 910D aspires to snatch the leadership in performance from Nvidia Huawei reacted immediately to US sanctions. And is that just a few hours after the entry into force of the new regulation of the Department of Commerce He presented his chip for the ascend 920a solution that is clearly destined to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps that the NVIDIA H20 GPU is going to leave. This proposal will enter large -scale production during the second half of 2025 using 6 NM integration technology that have presumably developed elbow with Huawei elbow and SMIC. Until now Huawei wanted to get his hardware to dominate the inference processes in AI However, this is not the only asset that Huawei has to increase its market share both in China and beyond its country of origin. And is that, According to Reutersthis company is preparing to start the testing and validation phase of a new GPU for AI: The Ascend 910D chip. Unlike the GPU Ascend 920 that, as we have seen, presumably aspires to compete with the NVIDIA H20 chip, the GPU Ascend 910D seeks to overcome the performance of the chip NVIDIA H100. If this movement is confirmed, already priori this information is reliable, it will be evident that Huawei will have chosen to fight in all hardware market segments for the nvidia. Until now this Chinese company wanted to get its hardware dominate the inference processes in AIand not the training of the models, as Georgios Zacharopoulos, a senior researcher of AI who works on the acceleration of inference in the Huawei laboratory in Zurich (Switzerland) points out in this statement. “The training is important, but it only happens a few times. Huawei focuses mainly on inference, which will ultimately give us access to more customers,” says Zacharopoulos. Inference is broadly the computational process carried out by language models with the purpose of Generate the answers which correspond to the requests they receive. In any case, the information we have reflects that the GPU Ascend 910D will allow Huawei to compete with the chips for the most advanced NVIDIA both in inference and in training.

In full protectionist withdrawal, Xiaomi wants to be the new huawei and knows where to start: with its own chips

by

Huawei has become in recent years The best example to follow by Chinese manufacturers. It has been the first company to achieve full self -sufficiency (Understanding this as the manufacture of the product does not depend on companies outside of China), and marking a new line that the rest of the competitors want to follow. Chinese sources They point out that Xiaomi has just created a new department for Chips’s own development, with a former Qualcomm executive leading it. The intention is clear: Xiaomi wants to be the next Chinese manufacturer to mark the way. A new focus. According to Suehome Xiaomi sources, a new chips development department is establishing under the command of Qin Muyun, former product director at Qualcomm. The company would be allocating resources to meet something that Huawei has been chasing for years: its own manufacturing to reduce dependence with giants such as MediaTak or Qualcomm. Xiaomi already knows this path. In 2017 Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Mi 5cthe company’s first phone with the chip S1 arises. It was the first time that Xiaomi, along with Pinecone Electronics, launched a phone with a chip of own development. The Mi 5C was the only phone to use it, comparable to a Snapdragon of the 626 series, and functioning as a strategic experiment rather than a model to follow. Beyond co-processors. Since 2017, Xiaomi has focused on the development of coprocessors. In 2021 the market was released Mix fold With the arise C1, an ISP (image processor) of Xiaomi. The arise P1 was the co-processor aimed at managing energy tasks during fast charge, trained in the Xiaomi 12 Pro. And models like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra They arrived with the G1 arise, also in charge of energy tasks. Since then, Xiaomi has not resumed the development of a complete chip. Something that could be looking for the new investment. The arduous task of developing its own processor. Developing chips is very expensive. So much, that TSMC has just announced increases of 30% due to the tariff war between the United States and China. With a lot of help from SMICthe main Chinese semiconductor giant, brands like Huawei have achieved the independence of TSMC. Xiaomi would need the help of the Chinese government (fiscal exemptions, bonuses and direct aid) to manufacture their own chips with the help of SMIC, something that would help him reduce dependence with the American TSMC. An example to follow. If Xiaomi manages to follow Huawei’s steps and become a company capable of producing its own chips, the Chinese industry will be hitting the table again. Hardware is not the only key, Xiaomi is committed to Hyperos with hardly any mentions of Android. He understands it as its own software, an ecosystem to be implemented in any consumption product. The tariff storm is torpedoing the Big Tech strategywith China seeking to reduce dependence on US companies and vice versa. Achieving this is not viable in the short term, but the door has been opened to a change in the consumer industry as we know it.

The new Chinese tariffs are a mosquadilla for Apple. It is just what Huawei needed to dominate Asia

by

China has not taken to respond to new tariff rates imposed By the Trump administration, further increasing the pressure on this commercial war scenario. The new situation. After the Last climb announced on April 3the tariffs that the United States applies to imported products from China already reach 54%. In reciprocal response, China has announced a new 34%rate package. The US rates enter into force on April 9 and those of China on April 10, with a day of strategic difference. A margin that opens the door to possible last minute negotiations to adjust or avoid the implementation of tariffs, giving time to both countries to search for agreements before the measures impact their economies. In this stage of tariff chaos there are two very important actors for the Chinese market: Huawei and Apple. The golden opportunity for Huawei. Huawei is positioned as a key actor in technological matters with strong government support. At the beginning of 2025 it has become the Second manufacturer in Chinabehind living and just ahead of Apple. Beyond smartphones sales, Huawei is a crucial company for the country in relation to network infrastructure, manufacture of multiplatform semiconductors and software. Currently, the company is a symbol of technological self -sufficiency, both in software and hardware. Huawei recently announced his plans to abandon Android in favor of Harmonyosa system designed for the Asian market (at least, for now), with its own development and without a trace of foreign code. Similarly, the company has been in full commercial fight for years to be competent in the manufacture of semiconductors, currently blocked in seven nanometers lithographybut having achieved your own manufacturing With the support of SMIC, the Chinese giant for chips function. Quota dance. Only 1%market share separate (17%) from Huawei (16%), and with an Apple (15%) that could be out of the map after the entry into force of a new 34%tariff to American products, the scenario that is drawn is that of an absolute leadership by Chinese manufacturers. For Huawei, who has been climbing positions for a few years, it is the best possible scenario. The company is resuming its position in the market thanks to the support of the Chinese government (who has invested in national machinery for chip manufacturing and provides tax exemptions to technology like this). It will not be the only beneficiary. With the exception of Apple, China is a market in which national companies cover full sales photography. I live, Huawei, Oppo and Honor are the best -selling brands, with quite similar figures and market share. China has been a key market for Apple for years. At the end of 2024, this territory meant about 30% of its income. However, in the first quarter of 2025 and in the middle of the commercial war, Chinese participation in Apple’s income fell to 15.83%. An even more aggressive tariff would mean an important setback for the American company, who now faces a complicated scenario in which tariffs to countries like Vietnam or India put their manufacturing and margins strategy in check. Five days of doubt. The reciprocal tariffs between the United States and China threaten to shake the entire world, from the drop in stock market and increase in the manufacturing costs of companies outside technology such as Niketo the hard blow suffered by practically All Big Tech. Next week it will be crucial to know if there is room for negotiation, or if the commercial war is about to start its crudest phase.

Huawei is beating income record thanks to China. It is just the beginning of his new era

by

Huawei has presented Your annual results report corresponding to 2024. The third smartphones manufacturer in China has achieved strong acceleration in its consumption business, with a significant increase in income, and not so good news in regards to its net benefit. But the key to Huawei’s results is not in the numbers. It is in how it is being reconvirt as a company to deal with the sanctions imposed by the United States. How is he going to Huawei. Since the Trump administration Break completely with the Chinese giant in 2019the company has drawn different action plans to rekindle its consumption business. Strategies that seem to be operating, since in 2024 Huawei increased by 38.3% the interannual income of this division, reaching a total of 339 billion yuan at the end of the year. It is the second best in income in the company’s history, behind the record reported at the end of 2019. Huawei sales last year have two main responsible: telecommunications infrastructure and the consumption area. Two pillars representing about 82% of the company’s total income. Huawei advances in semiconductor matterdodging a good part of US restrictionsnext to Strong support of the Chinese government They have significantly promoted sales. In the mobile phone market, Huawei experienced an interannual increase of 37%, while the telecommunications infrastructure division grew 4.9%, driven by the deployment of 5G networks and the start of the commercialization of 5.5g networks. Despite the record in income, Huawei’s net benefit has fallen by 28%. There is a weight of weight for it and it is good news: the company is making more investment than ever in innovation and development. Diversify, the new key to the company. Huawei plans to increase investment in R&D in the next three years to seek opportunities for growth and differentiation with respect to its competitors. The area of ​​consumption and telecommunications remains the main pillar for its income, but diversifying will be one of the keys to Huawei within three years. Huawei is making investments in new sectors, such as infrastructure for electric vehicles and renewable energy. Related to the engine scope, the company is offering automotive solutions for smart vehicles, such as ADAS and software systems. This last business grew by 474.4% last year, and projects such as Avat 11 either Luxeed S7companies that develop luxury vehicles with Huawei support and technology, are the sign that this will be one of the next income pillars for the company. The foreigner, the main barrier to overcome. The commercial war between China and the United States He has shown that the Asian country can maintain the profitability of its companies without depending on foreign partners. However, Huawei still faces difficulties to expand outside China. In Europe we are still waiting for movements such as Harmonyos Next in China, the first operating system developed 100% by Huawei outside the Android nucleus. This movement will be key to determining whether the company can consolidate its technological independence globally, depending on the partners to capture in our territory. He achieves it or not, the key is that Huawei does not need success in any other country outside his to remain profitable as a company. Although, of course, to compete with the best you have to be where the best. Image | Xataka In Xataka | The long goodbye of Huawei in Spain: of strategic partner to Technology Non Grata

Huawei will manufacture its Kirin X90 for PC using the 7 Nm of SMIC

by

Huawei and Smic work side by side and intensity since they get it The US sanctions to China. Together they have managed to manufacture 7 Nm semiconductoras, for example, the soc Kirin 9000s of the Mate 60 Prousing an integrated circuit production technique known as Multiple patterning. This strategy in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. His problem is that he usually has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decline in production capacity, although it works. These two Chinese companies have been forced to use the Multiple patterning in your teams of deep ultraviolet lithography (UVP) because the prohibitions of the United States and the Netherlands prevent the Dutch company Asml from selling their machine their machines in Chinese extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE). The latter allow to produce more advanced semiconductors than UVP equipment. Huawei and SMIC seem blocked in the 7 nm lithography A little over a year ago, in February 2024, the newspaper Financial Times said having had access to the statements of two experts who defended that SMIC was finalizing the refinement of their semiconductor manufacturing processes in their UVP machines. Its purpose, according to this source, was to have the necessary technology to manufacture Integrated 5 nm circuits Massively before the year 2024. For SMIC and its clients, among which Huawei is, this would be a very important achievement. The triple folding of Huawei, one of its most ambitious proposals, reuses a 7 nm soc However, Huawei’s 5 NM socates have not yet appeared. The chip Kirin 9010 which has happened to the 9000S model is also being manufactured in the 7 NM SMIC node using the technique of Multiple patterning. We can find this soc, for example, in Huawei’s new triple foldingthe mate ultimate design, which We have tried Just two weeks ago at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It is evident that the last smartphones of this company would have been wonderful to have a 5 -nm Soc. And to his GPU Asce for artificial intelligence (AI) too. But there is even more. According to Digitimes Asiathe CPU for PC Kirin X90 that will produce Huawei with the purpose of consolidating an alternative to Intel and AMD chips will also be manufactured in the 7 Nm node. In these circumstances it is reasonable to conclude that, for the moment, Huawei and SMIC are stuck in this integration technology. This is a big problem for China because it does not have the necessary technology to produce avant -garde semiconductors comparable to those who manufacture Intel, AMD or Qualcomm, among other western alignment companies. The great hope of the country led by Xi Jinping is having as soon as possible Your own UVE photolithography teamsand it seems that they are close. In fact, as we tell you last week, A filtration has revealed that Huawei is already testing a prototype of one of these machines. If this information is finally confirmed and China has its commercial UVE machines in 2026 will have taken a crucial step in its pulse with the US.

Huawei has just said goodbye to Android by Deepseek. And this strange folding is the first step

by

I had announcing the movement For a few months, and it has finally materialized on a phone. Huawei He just said goodbye to Android in his native countryand he has done it with a curious phone with an never seen aspect relationship. This is the first phone that lands on the market with Harmonyos Nextthe operating system completely developed by Huawei with its own kernel and without a trace of Android. In addition to premiere operating system, it is the first Huawei device to release Harmony Intelligence, its AI in collaboration with Deepseek. Goodbye to Android. The day came. Huawei has presented its first phone without a trace of Android, the Huawei pure x flip. To date, the company’s mobiles were marketed in China with Harmonyos. An operating system that, although the company wanted to completely disconnect from Android, was based on its nucleus. With Harmonyos Next things are different. This is an operating system developed from scratch, does not use Android code, is not compatible with its apps (at least, not if these are not modified) and uses its own core (HMS or Huawei Mobile Services) instead of the Google Application Service. This is the first 100% Harmony mobile. The first step for AI. Harmony Intelligence It is your alternative to Apple Intelligence and Samsung Galaxy AIpromising to go beyond an assistant for AI. This AI has trained both the Pangu model, developed by Huawei, and in Depseek, a model that is permeating quickly in Chinese mobiles. “We have trained our AI assistant for millions of hours with our large -scale language models and we have taken that intelligence to the device for the first time, so that it looks like a human and interact naturally, with conversations with different emotions and detecting the user’s mood.” As Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei promises, the focus is that the person-one interaction is as natural as possible, coming to promise that the assistant will be able to detect user’s emotions (it has not been detailed how). In a more landed plane, it will be able to eliminate photographs objects, generate and modify them, convert voice, and even describe the objects that the telephone camera sees, so that people with accessibility problems can “see” through the mobile. Another especially curious function is to be able to read books without touching the phone: we can pass pages only with our eyes. Huawei wants a 100% own ecosystem. The key here is not that a Huawei mobile releases its AI, is that Huawei is already prepared, in agreement with Deepseekto compete with the greats of the industry. Harmonyos Next is a platform oriented to all types of devices, from home to the connected car, and this first jump presenting Harmony Intelligence is key to the Chinese manufacturer. The company has advanced that its first platform for PC (Harmonyos Next brought to desk) will land in May, and it is expected that throughout the year we will start to see this operating system in virtually all new products that launch the market. The pure huawei. The lucky one who has released Harmonyos Next is the pure x, a folding phone in appearance ratio 16.10 when it is deployed. It is a telephone that, being folded, has a 3.5 -inch screen with 980 x 980 resolution, 2,500 peak shine nits, LTPO technology and appearance ratio 1.1: completely square. Upon opening, a curious 6.3 -inch panel is displayed with resolution 2,120 x 1,320, a completely different format than we are used to. The camera system is triple, with 50 MP for the main camera, 40 MP for ultra wide angle and 8 MP for 3.5X teleobjective. It has a 4.720MAH battery with a fast charging of 60W and will be sold in China at a price that starts from 7,499 yuan (just over $ 1,000) in its 12 + 256 GB version. At the moment, far from Europe. If the question is whether Huawei’s plan to completely end its Android dependence, the answer is no … for now. In Europe, the company is looking for alliances with developers after projects such as Aurora Store to facilitate the installation of Google services in its terminals (something that is easier than ever), and betting on EMUI based on ancient Android versions. The key to Harmonyos Next ends up being global is in the Chinese manufacturer alliance with the rest of the developers and technological. In China, Google apps or giants as a goal (Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook) have hardly any presence, in our territory they are an essential for a good part of the users. Currently, they can be installed in EMUI thanks to the microg Google Services framework. Without it, the matter is complicated.

The Belgian police stop Huawei representatives for alleged corruption in the Eurocamara. The EU investigates the Chinese plot

by

The Belgian police have made records at the European headquarters of Huawei in Brussels and has arrested several of its lobists for alleged corruption of Eurodiputados, as progress Reuters. What happened? The Belgian Prosecutor’s Office has deployed a hundred agents in almost two dozen places in Belgium and Portugal as part of an investigation for alleged bribery, falsification of documents and money laundering. The researchers have seized two offices in the European Parliament belonging to supposedly involved parliamentary assistants. Why is it important. This case threatens to become a second ‘Qatargate‘, the scandal that shook the Eurocamara in 2022 when several legislators were accused of receiving bribes from Qatar and Morocco. New research can seriously damage the credibility of European institutions, already weakened after that episode. Between bambalins. According to Belgian media, the plot of bribes would have operated “regularly and very discreetly from 2021 to the present, under the appearance of lobby Commercial. “The researchers They suspect that about fifteen Eurodiputados – actual and ancient – could be involved. In detail. Corrupt practices, according to Politicalthey would have included: Remuneration for adopting favorable political positions to Huawei. Excessive gifts, such as meals and travel expenses. Recurring invitations to football matches. The context. Huawei, which once was a power of lobby In Europe, he has suffered blows in recent years due to the security risks associated with his links with the Chinese government. The European Commission He has repeatedly warned that the company represents “materially higher risks than other 5G suppliers”. The European Parliament has confirmed that it will cooperate “quickly” with the Belgian authorities in the investigation. Meanwhile, Victor Negrescu, vice president of Parliament for transparency and anti -corruption, has described the accusations as “deeply worrisome.” The answer. A spokesman for Huawei has limited himself to declare that the company is “investigating” what happened and that “it is committed to compliance with all the applicable laws and regulations of the countries and regions in which it operates.” The Eurodiputados involved could see the lifting of their parliamentary immunity if the investigation progresses, a process that requires the authorization of the president of the Eurocamara, Roberta Metsola. From Xataka We have contacted Huawei to obtain their statements in this regard, we will incorporate them into this article as soon as we obtain them.

It is manufacturing AI chips for Huawei despite the sanctions, according to the United States

by

TSMC’s headaches have not finished. The US government definitely included Huawei in its blacklist in 2020, and one of the immediate consequences of this decision was that this Taiwan chips manufacturer stopped producing semiconductors For this Chinese company. Two years later, in October 2022, the US administration decided to include All the Chinese semiconductor industry In his blacklist, which further cut the TSMC client portfolio. Anyway, for Huawei, it has all the meaning of the world to try to make TSMC manufacture some of the integrated circuits you design. This Chinese company is supported In this area by SMICwhich is the main producer of semiconductors in China, but its most advanced integration technologies are not up to TSMC avant -garde lithographs. And not having access to the most advanced lithographic nodes diminishes Huawei’s competitiveness. At the end of October 2024 the US Department of Commerce decided to investigate TSMC because he suspected that this gigantic Taiwanese company could have secretly reached agreements with Huawei to take care of the manufacture of its semiconductors for smartphones and applications of artificial intelligence (AI). At the current situation of tension between the US and China this accusation is very serious. Fortunately for TSMC everything was clarified a few months later. Another disturbing chapter in the relationship held TSMC and Huawei In December 2024 TSMC broke its commercial relationship With Powerair, a Singapore company that, apparently, was responsible for delivering the chip manufactured by TSMC that appeared on the card for the Ascend 910b. Interestingly, this was the second company presumably responsible for reaching Huawei integrated circuits produced by TSMC. In 2023 this last company stopped offering its manufacturing service to the Chinese Chips Design Company Sophgo to illegally mediate with Huawei. The CSIS accuses TSMC of having manufactured for Huawei no less than two million chips from AInd 910 Now is the CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies), an American organization that is dedicated to developing strategies that seek to guarantee the security of the US, which accuses TSMC in A freshly published report having made indirectly for Huawei for 2024 no less than Two million Ascend 910 chips. With these integrated circuits this Chinese company can produce a huge number of units of its ascend 910c solution, which is currently its hardware for the most advanced. The most interesting thing is that The CSIS holds that Huawei has once again resorted to “ghost” companies that act as intermediaries between her and TSMC. However, the author of the report does not exculpate the Taiwanese company: “TSMC manufactured large amounts of Ascend 910b of Huawei in the name of ghost companies and sent them to China, thus violating US export controls.” We will see how all this ends, but it does not paint well for a TSMC that has just embarked into an ambitious strategy of expansion of its production infrastructure within the country currently led by Donald Trump.

Chatgpt costs $ 700,000 a day, Deepseek just 83,000. A key is huawei and play cards differently

by

2025 began with a tsunami in the segment of the artificial intelligence. After months and months talking about different models and companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Goal And, of course, OpenAIa Chinese company took off the manga Deekseekan AI that shook industry foundations. Beyond its possibilities or how good it worked, which stirred the waters were economic and hardware issues. Almost from the beginning the question of How China had taken out an AI like Deepseek With the hardware limitation they have due to the Commercial War with the United States and the impossibility of buying the most powerful graphs of Nvidia (although with controversy). To do this, the company defended that it had to pull ingenuity Thanks to an infrastructure of NVIDIA H800 chips and a training of more than 2,788 million hours with a ridiculous cost: 5.6 million dollars. And it seems scarce because Openai He invested about 100 million dollars to train GPT-4. Another melon is what it costs to keep it. As noted ReutersIf Chatgpt costs about $ 700,000 a day, Deepseek drops to $ 87,000. And here some things that have to be taken into account. Deepseek is 10 times cheaper to maintain than chatgpt, according to Depseek Last Saturday, and as noted ReutersDeepseek revealed some data on costs and income related to its V3 and R1 models. The first is a traditional, more conversational chatbot, resulting ideal for the writing and creation of content. R1, however, is a reasoning model. It stands out solving problems, using logic and is able to show step by step reasoning, using continuous learning. To compare with better known models, Depseek V3 would be like GPT-4 and R1 something similar to OPENAI O1. In the report, Reuters highlights that the theoretical relationship of Deepseek-benefit costs is up to 545% per day. Of course, the company itself warns that real income is significantly lower, but another pearl they have left since Deepseek is the cost of maintenance. Keep chatgpt working costs about $ 700,000 a day to OpenAI (at least two years ago). The reason is that the infrastructure of Microsoft Azure Serversit has a considerable energy cost, you have to pay wages and, obviously, all the power in hardware to process the consultations you receive every second. In yellow, the costs. In blue, theoretical income Deepseek “only” 87,072, a ridiculous price compared. A few days ago affirmed That, renting the H800 costs less than two dollars per hour and the estimated theoretical income is just over 560,000 dollars, which would add more than 200 million dollars in a year. In the upper graph, Depseek shows the cost of maintaining R1 and theoretical income thanks to the tokens that are generated, whose price depends on the moment of the day, being cheaper at night. They also clarify that Deepseek V3 is “significantly cheaper.” This opens more issues. One is how it is so cheap because training an AI, of course, is not. Ignoring the accusation of theft by OpenAIif Deepseek has not deflated the numbers, puts on the table a situation in which it is not needed so many graphic power to train an artificial intelligence. Here the key is the ‘reinforcement learning’, the way Deepseek has found do with much lessbut it should also be noted that, although during training the Nvidia chips are used for the R1 model, in the inference it is using The Ascend 910b of Huawei. Huawei chips are cheaper And, supposedly, more efficient, and this decision of Deepseek is almost more relevant than what may cost to maintain the system. The reason is that you can teach the rest of artificial intelligence companies that, perhaps, It is not worth using the latest generation GPUs For everything, but only for training that occurs sometimes counted, before the implementation of AI, and then use other more efficient and cheap GPUs for inference. This inference is what is done later, in a use that we could call “real” The training would be the equivalent of swallowing technical manuals in a five -year career and the inference such as implementing that knowledge and reasoning starting from the base you have and without having to learn them again. In the end, the controversy of five million dollars Deepseek is going to be there for a while, especially when we compare with OpenAi numbers, but it is clear that Depseek is doing things from another approach and can be a good mirror for companies that come behind. And, with one China very focused on the development of both AI as of Hardware for AIit can be the perfect ‘spearhead’ model.
