Nvidia’s H20 chip orders jump as Chinese firms adopt DeepSeek’s AI models

Chinese companies are ramping up orders for Nvidia’s H20 artificial intelligence chip due to booming demand for DeepSeek’s low-cost AI models, six people familiar with the matter said.

The surge in orders, which is being reported for the first time by Reuters, underlines Nvidia’s dominance of the market and could help alleviate concerns that DeepSeek might cause a slide in AI chip demand.
