By Trevor Hunnicutt, Karen Freifeld and Nandita Bose WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump and the CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang discussed DeepSeek - the Chinese company whose AI model's performance rocked the tech world - and tightening AI chip exports during their meeting at the White House on Friday,

The meeting comes amid broad anxiety about the success of a Chinese artificial intelligence app called DeepSeek.

President Trump met Friday afternoon with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the White House, with their get-together coming as the chip giant has faced questions due to the big splash made by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek.

Nvidia is touting the performance of DeepSeek’s open source AI models on its just-launched RTX 50-series GPUs, claiming that they can “run the DeepSeek family of distilled models faster than anything on the PC market.

DeepSeek, the new player on the scene, is a Chinese company that has been making huge waves in AI development. Its powerful technology could change things such as healthcare, finance – and even the way we interact with the internet. Investors are excited because they see DeepSeek as a potential leader in shaping the next generation of AI tools.

China’s DeepSeek says it trained an AI model for less than $6 million. This is as big U.S. tech companies have poured billions of dollars into AI chips and systems for their projects.
