TrendForce indicates that DeepSeek and other Chinese AI companies are challenging the hardware-centric AI development model by focusing on operational efficiency, potentially prompting CSPs to reassess their AI infrastructure investments. While CSP capital expenditures will remain high in 2025, investments in in-house ASICs will increase to reduce costs and reliance on NVIDIA GPUs. US export controls will further accelerate the development of indigenous chips and algorithms in China's AI sector. In the long term, DeepSeek's emergence may lead to a downward revision in AI GPU demand and shift AI development towards efficiency-focused strategies.
