Not covered in the capability matrix
The AI Enterprise capability matrix does not include DeepSeek. No capability scores are shown rather than invented.
DeepSeek V3 + R1 hosted on Together AI as one of the first non-Chinese inference endpoints.
DeepSeek trained V3 / R1 on NVIDIA H800 + H20 GPUs (the China-export-compliant variants), exposure is real but subject to ongoing US export-control tightening.
DeepSeek has publicly demonstrated R1 inference on Huawei Ascend 910B, strategic China-sovereign silicon hedge against US chip restrictions.
DeepSeek V3 + R1 available via Fireworks inference cloud.
DeepSeek R1 / R1-distill served via GroqCloud as part of open-reasoning model lineup.
