but still need 20% of nvidia total shipments via sg of the lower end h80 chips. those chips and servers and data centers still cost money. $6m is a gross underestimation. it only covered incidental, accessorial material and “labor” expenses which were cheap or deflated in tiongcock. the $6m totally ignored cost associated with the tens of thousands of nvidia chips, thousands of motherboards and servers, data centers, power, cooling, etc. these unreported cost were borne by the ccp gov. i already posted about this before. it wouldn’t be as sexpensive as a sillycon valley build (estimate was $100-200m not $500b as you mentioned). but the more realistic (and honest) estimate of the ccp funded build to enable deepseek to produce results was around $69m.There is 58 page paper publish by deepseek on all optimisation done , and why don't need nvidia latest H100 chips. Don't need 500bil jist 6mil.
