Chinese AI model

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI distillation, the practice of training smaller models by mimicking larger ones, should be viewed as 'competition,' remarks made in the context of Chinese AI firms using the technique. His comments are drawing debate about whether distillation undermines leading AI companies and how the US and China will compete over AI models and the chips that power them.

The Center for Data Innovation argues that Europe should strengthen its commitment to open-source artificial intelligence, positioning open models as a strategic advantage for the continent's tech sector. The think tank's stance feeds an ongoing debate in Europe over how to compete with US and Chinese AI giants while shaping regulation that supports rather than stifles home-grown innovation.

Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has released open-source software tools that let AI models run on Huawei chips, according to a report by The Information. The move would make it easier for developers to build AI systems on domestic Chinese hardware rather than Nvidia's restricted GPUs. Details on the release and its technical scope remain limited, and Huawei and DeepSeek have not been widely quoted on the announcement yet.

Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has released tools that allow its models to run on Huawei chips, potentially reducing reliance on Nvidia hardware, according to Bloomberg. The move comes amid US export restrictions on advanced chips to China and signals DeepSeek's continued push to optimize AI training on domestic silicon. The development is drawing attention to Huawei's progress in AI computing.

Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has made its AI software compatible with Huawei's Ascend chips, a move that strengthens Huawei's push into AI hardware. The development signals growing momentum for domestic Chinese alternatives to US chips like Nvidia in running advanced AI models, and it is drawing attention for its potential impact on the global semiconductor and AI race.

OpenAI says it disrupted an attempt by a Chinese AI firm to bypass encryption protections and extract sensitive data from its models. The attackers reportedly used a novel method, manipulating model interactions to reproduce protected information. The incident has drawn attention to ongoing efforts by foreign companies to steal proprietary AI technology, and to the security challenges facing leading AI labs protecting their model weights and systems.

OpenAI says it found evidence linking China's Moonshot AI to an attempt to extract reasoning from its models, reportedly by using outputs from OpenAI's systems to train competing models. The claim adds to growing tensions between US and Chinese AI developers over model distillation, a practice most AI providers prohibit in their terms of service. Neither the full evidence nor Moonshot AI's response has been made public.
