DeepSeek R2 / V3.x
Next-gen DeepSeek models trained amid Ascend/H20 constraints
DeepSeek's post-R1 releases (V3.x and the anticipated R2) continued its efficiency-first approach, reportedly navigating Ascend-vs-Nvidia training tradeoffs and export constraints. DeepSeek remains the emblem of China achieving frontier-adjacent performance at dramatically lower cost, reshaping global model economics.
