In a recent appearance on Dwarkesh Podcast, Huang once again said that working with China then ‘against China’ is in the interests of the US. He said that the migration from Nvidia’s CUDA to Huawei’s CANN framework threatens to break the software-hardware dependency underpinning American AI dominance, even as US lawmakers push to place DeepSeek on the entity list for export control.Nvidia CEO said, “We have got to acknowledge that most of the advances in AI came out of algorithm advances, not just the raw hardware. Now, if most advances came from algorithms and computer science and programming, tell me that their army of AI researchers is not their fundamental advantage. We see it. DeepSeek is not an inconsequential advance. The day that DeepSeek comes out on Huawei first, that is a horrible outcome for our nation.“When asked about how DeepSeek’s being an open source model can hurt America’s proprietary systems, considering that it can run on any system. Huang explained, “Suppose it doesn’t. Suppose it’s optimized for Huawei, suppose it’s optimized for their architecture. It would put ours at a disadvantage. You described a situation that I perceive to be good news. A company developed software, developed an AI model, and it runs best on the American tech stack. I saw that as good news. You set it up as a premise that it was bad news. I’m going to give you the bad…
