DeepSeek V4 — one of the most capable open-source LLMs — now runs natively on Huawei Ascend chips. For Czech enterprises, this means access to cutting-edge AI without dependence on US technology or supply chain uncertainties.
Why This Is Important
1. Independence from Export Restrictions
Nvidia H100 is practically unavailable for many European companies due to long waiting times. Ascend 910B is in stock with delivery within 4–6 weeks. No export licenses. No geopolitical risks.
2. Lower Costs
- Ascend 910B: ~70–80% of H100 price
- No annual license fees
- Lower power consumption during inference
3. Native Czech Language Support
DeepSeek was trained on multilingual data including Czech. Results are comparable to GPT-4 for Czech language tasks — formal documents, customer support, and content generation.
