DeepSeek funding halted, leaked recording reveals chip smuggling and Huawei performance gap

Reportedly, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng halted Series B funding after a leaked recording of a closed-door investor meeting in July. The leak revealed that DeepSeek hoarded ~20,000 H100 GPUs via gray channels, bought large quantities of Huawei Ascend chips to bypass Nvidia CUDA, and admitted Huawei chips lag behind Nvidia by at least two years. The incident also involves internal factional struggles in China's tech sector.
