Maybe the first serious argument in favor of "export controls have been a mistake", if the product materializes as planned. We may see 7nm 3D chips with alien geometry, deeply co-designed with DeepSeek's next models and produced at vast scale on domestic DUV.

For an intuition pump, consider how Mamba-2 is designed by Tri Dao around Nvidia hardware. Right now, all Chinese open source basically reinforces Western AI progress because it's built for Nvidia. Truly different chips will let them keep benefitting from open source *at home*.
