Huawei used its own silicon to re-educate DeepSeek

"build a post-training framework that re-worked DeepSeek's model so it achieved "nearly 100 percent success rate against 14 common malicious threats, including toxic and harmful speech, politically sensitive content, and incitement to illegal behavior." The re-trained model, dubbed DeepSeek-R1-Safe, is also more resistant to jailbreaking. The University achieved those results with just a one percent performance hit compared to DeepSeek-R1."

"India's government last week reportedly discussed draft plans to give a 20-year tax holiday to developers who build new datacenters. New Delhi has already introduced many government digital services, built extensive broadband infrastructure, encouraged use of online services, and created a fund to create sovereign AI capacity. While major hyperscalers operate datacenters in India, the nation's technology policy emphasizes developing self-sufficiency."

Zhejiang University used Huawei Ascend 1000 accelerators to create DeepSeek-R1-Safe, a post-trained variant that reduces harmful, politically sensitive, and incitement responses and resists jailbreaking with about a one percent performance hit. The reworked model achieved nearly 100 percent success against 14 common malicious threats and reportedly outperforms Alibaba Cloud's Qwen under Chinese content rules. India reportedly discussed a draft plan for a 20-year tax holiday to incentivize new datacenter construction, aiming to spur development and local investment amid a push for technological self-sufficiency. The Taliban prohibited fiber-optic internet access in Balkh province, citing efforts to curb immoral behavior.
