DeepSeek's R2 model reportedly delayed over Nvidia chip shortages
The chip shortage has worsened following the recent US ban on Nvidia's H20 chips, which were specifically designed for the Chinese market. Most cloud customers currently using DeepSeek's popular R1 model are running it on these H20 chips.
While engineers have been working intensively on the new model for several months, CEO Liang Wenfeng is not yet satisfied with its performance, the report added. DeepSeek has not yet determined when R2 will be released.
The company's engineering team continues to refine R2 and will only release it after receiving approval from Liang. If R2 outperforms existing open-source models upon release, demand is expected to overwhelm Chinese cloud providers already struggling with Nvidia chip shortages.

AI Cuts Software Switch Costs In Half
AI is tearing down the biggest hurdle in enterprise software swaps, and that's bad news for Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR), Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) and SAP (NYSE:SAP). What used to be a months?long slog of license fees, data migrations, integrations and training can now be cut in half with AI helpers. Take a Minnesota company that used ChatGPT to whip up code moving data from Dynamics to a new sales platform in hours instead of weeks. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 10 Warning Signs with STLA. IT execs say AI automates mapping, testing and consolidation, slashing both time and cost roughly 50%. That means firms feel freer to chase best?of?breed point solutions rather than stick with incumbents. For legacy vendors, churn risk is rising and renewal talks are getting tougher. That said, it will critical to keep tabs on vendor renewal rates, churn-related metrics and any bundling AI?powered lock?in moves you might see in the hotly-anticipated earnings season.
