Some in the AI industry claim that China generally and DeepSeek, in particular, have managed to dodge the export rules <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/scale-ai-ceo-warns-chinas-163446995.html\" target=\"_blank\">and acquire large numbers of Nvidia&#8217;s more powerful H100 GPUs<\/a>, but Nvidia has denied that claim.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it&#8217;s thought OpenAI used 25,000 of Nvidia&#8217;s previous-gen A100 chips to train ChatGPT 4. It&#8217;s hard to compare the A100 to the H800 directly, but it certainly seems like DeepSeek got more done with fewer GPUs.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why the market got the yips when it comes to Nvidia. Maybe we don&#8217;t need quite as many chips for the AI revolution as was once thought?<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, Nvidia doesn&#8217;t see it that way, lauding R1 for demonstrating how the so-called &#8220;Test Time&#8221; scaling technique can help create more powerful AI models. \u201cDeepSeek is an excellent AI advancement and a perfect example of Test Time Scaling,\u201d the company told CNBC. &#8220;DeepSeek\u2019s work illustrates how new models can be created using that technique, leveraging widely-available models and compute that is fully export control compliant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, all may not be quite as it seems. <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/nvidia-share-price-plummets-as-it-loses-more-than-usd600b-in-valuation-the-biggest-single-day-loss-in-history\/\" target=\"_blank\">As Andy reported yesterday<\/a>, some observers think DeepSeek is actually spending more like $500 million to $1 billion a year. But the general consensus is that DeepSeek is getting more done for much less investment than the established players.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"c3RwNWN8XeDGfgrBXGaR4f\" name=\"nvidia-hopper-architecture-h100-die.jpg\" alt=\"Nvidia Hopper GPU die\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/chinas-deepseek-chatbot-reportedly-gets-much-more-done-with-fewer-gpus-but-nvidia-still-thinks-its-excellent-news.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">H100 is Nvidia&#8217;s cash cow.

Perhaps not. At the kind of investment levels demonstrated by the likes of Microsoft and Meta, the number of organisations that can get involved is necessarily limited.

It&#8217;s a little like the move from mainframe to personal computing. Sure, each individual investment in computing was a lot smaller, but the computing business overall grew far larger.<\/p>\n<p>So, maybe DeepSeek is an inflection point. From here on, AI development is more accessible, less dominated by a small number of hugely wealthy entities, and maybe even a bit more democratic.<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe we&#8217;ll find out that DeepSeek has used a mountain of H100s after all.
