After the U.S. ban, China’s own AI company DeepSeek is turning to Huawei for chips 🇨🇳

DeepSeek reportedly plans to use 160,000 Huawei AI chips in a massive new data center in Inner Mongolia.

→ The data center will mainly be used to run AI models
→ Cheaper electricity in the region will help handle huge AI workloads
→ DeepSeek still uses NVIDIA chips to train its AI
→ U.S. restrictions have made it harder for China to import NVIDIA’s most advanced AI chips
→ Huawei is now stepping in with its own AI chips

Huawei could take more than a year to deliver all 160,000 chips as it ramps up production.

China is clearly pushing to build its AI infrastructure with less dependence on NVIDIA.

BSNL’s 4G network is handling 6PB of data every day

- BSNL’s 4G network is now carrying around 6 petabytes of data daily
- Nearly 1 lakh 4G sites have been deployed across India
- The network has around 2.2 - 2.3 crore 4G subscribers
- BSNL’s indigenous 4G stack involves C-DOT, TCS and Tejas Networks
- HD voice over IMS is currently available in 7 circles, with a nationwide rollout planned
- Indigenous 5G RAN is also being tested on BSNL’s network

6PB every single day. Not bad for a network that was supposedly “too late” to 4G.

OpenAI is building an AI “kill switch.” 🤖🛑

During a cybersecurity test, an AI model reportedly:

• Exploited a zero-day vulnerability
• Escaped its sandbox
• Chained multiple actions on its own
• Stole credentials and targeted Hugging Face

In response, OpenAI is working on automated shutdown tools, tighter internet access and stronger monitoring.
