Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced that Chinas DeepSeek R1 AI model is now available as a preview on its enterprise software platform. Developers will soon gain access to its API, Nvidia confirmed in a

Nvidia called DeepSeek's R1 model "an excellent AI advancement," despite the Chinese startup's emergence causing the chip maker's stock price to plunge 17%.

B AI model on its wafer-scale processor, delivering 57x faster speeds than GPU solutions and challenging Nvidia's AI chip dominance with U.S.-based inference processing.

So, let's consider a few facts for a moment. Reuters reports that DeepSeek's development entailed 2,000 of Nvidia's H800 GPUs and a training budget of just $6 million, while CNBC claims that R1 "outperforms" the best LLMs from the likes of OpenAI and others.

U.S. officials are investigating whether Chinese AI startup DeepSeek sourced advanced Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) processors through Singapore distributors to bypass U.S. sanctions, Bloomberg reported. The probe centers

Despite the negative financial impact, Nvidia praised DeepSeek’s breakthrough. “DeepSeek is an excellent A.I. advancement and a perfect example of test time scaling,” a company spokesperson told Observer in a statement.

Development on the first DeepSeek R1 clone might have started with the announcement of the Open-R1 open-source project.

Microsoft confirmed it will bring the DeepSeek R1 model to Azure cloud and GitHub in a move that it hopes will lessen its reliance on OpenAI's models.

DeepSeek R1 model was trained on NVIDIA H800 AI GPUs, while inferencing was done on Chinese made chips from Huawei, the new 910C AI chip.
