Chinese AI startup, DeepSeek, is expected to launch a major update version V4 of its flagship model, and has granted early access to Chinese suppliers, including Huawei, but has not shown it to American chipmakers, Reuters quoted sources as saying.

AI developers typically share major pre-release versions of major models with leading chip manufacturers such as Nvidia (NVDA.US) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US) to ensure their software performs efficiently on widely used hardware, according to the report. DeepSeek has previously worked closely with Nvidia's technical team.

However, sources added that, for the latest model originally scheduled for release around the Spring Festival holiday, DeepSeek has not opened testing access to Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, and gave a few weeks of priority access to Chinese chip manufacturers like Huawei, allowing them to optimize software for their processors.
