Hong Kong launches DeepSeek-based AI model on domestic chips

Hong Kong’s government-backed Generative AI Research and Development Centre has launched a DeepSeek-based large language model that can run on domestic chips. The release is part of an effort to commercialise local AI products and export Chinese AI tools overseas, which adds to competition over advanced computing and AI supply chains.

  • Hong Kong has long served as a testing ground for Chinese firms seeking international investors and customers.
  • AI chip access has become a major pressure point in global technology competition.
  • Chinese-made AI systems are increasingly marketed to overseas users in languages beyond Mandarin.
