How do we know for sure that DeepSeek is not actually trained on Nvidia chips? Did someone outside of China replicated the training from scratch (Spending $6M)?
They themselves said it was trained on NVIDIA chips, so I’m not sure where you got that it wasn’t. It was trained on the less capable versions sold for the Chinese market.
I see, thank you for pointing that out. Then I’d rephrase, how do we know for sure that it wasn’t trained on the most advanced Nvidia chips? Did anyone outside of China replicated the training?
