DeepSeek V4 Launch Signals China’s Growing AI Independence with Huawei Chips 
Moore Threads Technology Co Ltd (SS:688795), often described as China’s potential alternative to NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), attracted investor attention after unveiling a new lineup of graphics processing units at its MUSA Developer Conference over the weekend. The announcement helped lift Moore Threads shares by around 2% in Shanghai trading on Monday, marking a relatively modest move compared with the sharp volatility the stock experienced following its blockbuster initial public offering in early December.
At the conference, Moore Threads introduced its new Huagang series of GPUs, designed to target both artificial intelligence computing and the videogame market. The company showcased an updated gaming-focused GPU and also teased its upcoming Huashan AI GPU, which it claimed could rival NVIDIA’s advanced Hopper and Blackwell architectures in terms of performance. These claims positioned Moore Threads as an increasingly important player in China’s domestic semiconductor ecosystem, particularly in the fast-growing AI chip segment.
However, the company stopped short of providing concrete gaming or AI benchmark data for the newly announced GPUs, leaving questions about their real-world performance unanswered. Moore Threads also confirmed that the Huagang GPU line is expected to be released sometime next year, rather than immediately entering mass production.
The announcement came shortly after Moore Threads warned investors that many of its products remain unreleased and that the company is likely to continue operating at a loss in the near term. This highlights the financial and technological challenges still facing the firm as it scales up its chip development efforts.
Despite these uncertainties, Moore Threads is widely viewed as a key contributor to China’s push for self-sufficiency in advanced AI chips, especially as Beijing responds to U.S. restrictions on exporting high-end AI technology to China. Adding to this momentum, a recent Reuters report noted that Chinese scientists achieved a major breakthrough this year in extreme ultraviolet lithography, a critical technology for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Together, these developments underscore growing optimism around China’s long-term ambitions in the global chip industry.
