Security researcher Shou Chaofan stated that he just purchased about 6TB of Fable model invocation data from a leading Chinese model relay station, which included sensitive credentials such as SSH keys, VPN configurations, Alibaba Cloud keys, and GitLab tokens. He claimed that the keys in this batch of data were sufficient for him to access the servers or internal systems of 19 leading Chinese companies, as well as 7 Chinese and CIS government-related agencies, including Huawei, Xiaomi, NIO, and MiniMax.The model relay station is positioned between users and models like Claude, so requests and responses pass through it first, allowing it to see the complete plaintext. Once developers insert SSH Keys, API Keys, VPN configurations, etc., into the Agent context, if the relay station saves or even sells these records, the company's system keys will also leak out. This is not the first time Shou Chaofan has warned about the risks of relay stations. A paper he participated in tested 428 LLM relay stations in April and found that 9 actively injected malicious code, 17 actually used AWS test keys deliberately placed by researchers to call AWS, and 1 directly transferred ETH from the test wallet.Shou Chaofan is a co-founder of the blockchain security company Fuzzland and has long been engaged in vulnerability and supply chain security research. At the end of March, he also first discovered that the source map in the Claude Code 2.1.88 release package accidentally exposed about 500,000 lines of TypeScript source code.

According to a Reuters exclusive report on September 10, Chinese AI chip manufacturers have significantly raised prices due to a shortage of high-bandwidth memory. Huawei has raised the indicated price of the Ascend 950DT accelerator card to over 250,000 yuan, an increase of 20% to 50% compared to two months ago. Cambricon has raised the indicated price of its planned 690 chip by 20% to 30%, and both Muxi and Tian Shu Zhi Xin have also implemented similar price increases.The report states that the reasons include U.S. export controls and the high costs of high-bandwidth memory supplies in the gray market. Prices for earlier Huawei products such as the Ascend 950PR and 910C have also increased by about 30%. These price increases have raised the construction costs of AI computing power in China. Huawei, Cambricon, and other companies did not comment.

The Financial Times of the UK reports that Huawei is becoming more deeply involved in the domestic photolithography machine supply chain, not only investing in related equipment and component companies but also coordinating suppliers, wafer fabs, and complete machine manufacturers to promote domestic DUV into actual production lines. Bernstein analysts describe Huawei as the "project manager" for China's DUV projects.The fastest progress is being made by Shanghai Yuliangsheng. The company is involved in the development of domestic advanced DUV, with equipment already tested at wafer fabs such as SMIC and Huawei's own production lines, planning to produce 12 units by the end of this year. At this stage, the focus is primarily on simpler chips, with the ultimate goal of being used for advanced AI chip manufacturing.Currently, domestic DUV has not completely eliminated reliance on overseas supply chains. The projection lenses used by Yuliangsheng still come from Germany's Zeiss, and high-power light sources are also a major bottleneck. Huawei has invested in companies such as Qiqi Photon and Keyihongyuan to supplement domestic lenses and light sources.

Malaysia is leaning towards relying on Huawei Technologies' artificial intelligence chips to power its sovereign AI program. The Southeast Asian country is seriously evaluating the use of Huawei AI hardware as the backbone of a 2 billion ringgit (approximately 494 million USD) initiative aimed at giving the country greater control over national data.Insiders say it is currently unclear how many chips Malaysia will purchase, and these individuals requested anonymity due to unauthorized disclosure. This move faces strong opposition from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

On the 7th, Huawei released the Mate XT 2 foldable phone in Guangzhou, equipped with the latest Kirin 9050 Pro chip, which is the first high-performance chip to use logical folding technology.The Kirin 9050 Pro layers the logical units within a single chip, adding vertical interconnection channels internally, resulting in shorter signal transmission paths, lower latency, and better performance. This is also the first time Huawei has launched a new Kirin chip at a flagship launch event in six years since the global release of the Huawei Mate 40.

According to a report by Bloomberg on September 4, the artificial intelligence company DeepSeek plans to deploy at least 160,000 top accelerators from Huawei Technologies Co. in a large data center being built in Inner Mongolia, potentially forming one of the largest known clusters of Huawei AI chips and advancing China's efforts to replace Nvidia.DeepSeek intends to use Huawei's next-generation Ascend 950DT chips to run its models, with the installation timeline depending on Huawei's production capacity. Sources say that the company currently does not plan to use the 950DT chips for training, although Huawei has designed and marketed these processors for more demanding training functions. DeepSeek had previously attempted to train models using Huawei chips but has so far relied on Nvidia accelerators to complete this critical step.

Counterpoint Research predicts that Samsung Electronics will regain its leading position in the smartphone market this year, indicating its stronger resilience against rising memory chip prices. Since the beginning of this year, the shortage of memory supply has become increasingly severe, and Counterpoint expects global smartphone shipments to decline by 14.3% by 2026. Samsung, with its highly integrated supply chain and mature distribution network, is an exception, with expected shipment growth of 0.8%, outperforming other manufacturers.Counterpoint states that the overall smartphone market is expected to decline again in 2027, followed by a recovery the next year. Similar to Samsung, Apple is expected to withstand the pressure from rising component prices, but the agency is more cautious about Apple's outlook. Apart from Samsung, only China's Huawei has established its own hardware supply system, which is expected to maintain significant growth.Counterpoint's chief analyst points out that the key to Samsung's return to the top lies in its internal component manufacturing capabilities, diverse product line, and solid relationships with carriers and retailers. It is expected that leading smartphone manufacturers in China will face greater shipment pressure, and the acceleration of industry consolidation during the economic downturn remains its fundamental forecast.

In a leaked internal conversation from the DeepSeek investor conference, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng elaborated on his core views regarding the development of the domestic AI computing power industry and ecosystem. He stated that the current domestic AI chip replacement is facing a historic opportunity, with no compatibility barriers in hardware and ecosystem, and that NVIDIA cannot block the replacement process. The only current issue is insufficient production capacity, and it is expected that within a year, the market's perception of domestic chips as "unusable and poor-performing" can be reversed.He pointed out that NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem moat is rapidly collapsing, and multiple industry transformations combined with export controls have opened a development window for domestic AI chips. He revealed that DeepSeek has partnered with Huawei to obtain 16,000 950 cards to run the ecosystem, and Huawei's 950 super nodes can completely replace NVIDIA's GB200 and GB300 in terms of performance and price, showing an optimistic attitude towards the development of the domestic computing power industry.
