A new artificial intelligence framework developed by a Chinese start-up could reduce reliance on Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips for AI model inference, marking the latest effort by Chinese tech companies to achieve technological self-sufficiency amid U.S. export restrictions.
What Happened: Qingcheng.AI, founded by Tsinghua University professor Zhai Jidong, unveiled &#8220;Chitu&#8221; &#8211; a high-performance inference framework for large language models that can operate on Chinese-made chips, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article/3302516/chip-war-chinese-start-aims-break-nvidias-grip-ai-new-model-framework?module=perpetual_scroll_0&amp;pgtype=article">reported</a> South China Morning Post.
The open-source framework directly challenges Nvidia&#8217;s dominance in supporting advanced AI models like DeepSeek-R1, according to a joint statement released Friday.
When tested with DeepSeek-R1 using Nvidia&#8217;s A800 GPUs, Chitu achieved a 315% increase in model inference speed while reducing GPU usage by 50% compared to foreign frameworks, the company claimed.
The development comes amid heightened AI competition in China following DeepSeek&#8217;s breakthrough in January, which demonstrated high-performance models at significantly lower costs than U.S. competitors. DeepSeek&#8217;s success triggered a selloff in U.S. tech stocks, with Nvidia <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43590545/nvidias-600-billion-sell-off-a-buying-opportunity-or-the-start-of-ai-market-disruption">losing $593 billion in market value</a> as investors feared increased competition.

Why It Matters: Chinese tech giants are rapidly entering the race. Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) on Sunday unveiled ERNIE X1, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44349635/baidu-says-its-new-ai-is-smarter-than-deepseeks-and-costs-half-as-much-excellent-multimodal-understanding-ability">claiming performance comparable</a> to DeepSeek-R1 at half the price. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) recently launched R1-Omni, an emotion-reading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44296725/alibaba-launches-ai-that-reads-emotions-to-rival-openai-but-shares-falls-on-hong-kong-exchange-despite-joe-tsais-10-trillion-market-outlook">AI model available for free</a>.
These initiatives reflect China&#8217;s broader push for technological independence after Washington banned sales of Nvidia&#8217;s advanced H100 and H800 chips to China-based clients. Backed by Beijing&#8217;s municipal AI fund, Qingcheng.AI has partnered with top Chinese GPU manufacturers including Moore Threads, Enflame and Iluvatar CoreX.
The AI surge has reignited investor interest in Chinese tech, potentially reversing three years of venture capital decline. &#8220;People are rushing just to find the next DeepSeek,&#8221; said Annabelle Yu Long, founding partner of BAI Capital, as the Chinese government <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44268864/chinese-investors-rushing-to-find-the-next-deepseek-says-vc-as-ai-boom-fuels-investment-surge-after-nvidia-selloff">prepares a fund expected</a> to mobilize 1 trillion yuan ($137.7 billion) for tech investment.

Nvidia Faces New AI Challenge As Chinese Start-Up Unveils Framework To Cut Reliance On Its GPUs

Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>)  is reportedly in advanced talks with the White House to oversee the U.S. operations of TikTok, as concerns continue to mount over the app&#8217;s Chinese origins.
What Happened: Vice President JD Vance and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz are spearheading the discussions. The role of TikTok&#8217;s Chinese founders in its U.S. operations remains a significant point of concern, according <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/16/white-house-oracle-tiktok-00232302">to</a> a Politico report. 
The proposed deal, dubbed &#8220;Project Texas 2.0&#8221;, is a sequel to an earlier agreement that saw TikTok and Oracle move American users&#8217; data to Texas-based servers. Despite this move, fears linger that China could exploit the app for espionage.
Oracle plans to meet with lawmakers, including Republicans, this week to discuss the proposed deal and growing national security concerns. Tech news outlet, The Information, reported that Oracle is a strong candidate to manage TikTok, with ByteDance, the app&#8217;s Beijing-based parent company, showing a preference for it.
The Chinese government has the ultimate authority to decide whether ByteDance sells TikTok or grants a U.S. company a license to operate it, as it seeks to maintain TikTok&#8217;s exclusive control over its user data.

Why It Matters: This development follows a recent announcement by Vice President JD Vance that a deal to maintain TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations under American ownership is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44345433/tiktok-ban-deadline-looms-but-vice-president-jd-vance-confirms-high-level-us-ownership-deal-is-nearly-done">nearing completion</a>. 
This statement came ahead of the April 5 deadline set by a Biden-administration law, which mandates ByteDance to either sell TikTok on national security grounds or face a ban. The app experienced a temporary outage for approximately 12 hours in January after TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, missed the deadline to sell its stake, and the Supreme Court upheld Congress' ban.
Last Week, President Donald Trump confirmed that the administration had been in discussions with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44213698/us-courts-new-buyers-for-tiktok-as-deal-deadline-approaches-all-four-are-good-says-trump">four different groups </a>regarding the sale of TikTok. In January, Trump had informed reporters that he was open to Oracle founder and executive chairman Larry Ellison purchasing TikTok. Ellison is also a part of Trump&#8217;s $500 billion&nbsp;Stargate AI project.
Oracle Corporation stock surged nearly 17% over the past year to close at $149.27 on Friday, as per <a href="http://v">Benzinga Pro</a>

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly entering its annual Top 100 executive retreat this week. This comes amid <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44207932/apple-delays-next-gen-siri-its-going-to-take-us-longer-than-we-thought-to-deliver-ai-upgrades">mounting criticism over</a> the company's stalled artificial intelligence efforts.
What Happened: Since the era of Steve Jobs, this annual March gathering brings together Apple&#8217;s 100 most influential executives, reported Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his latest weekly "Power On" newsletter.&nbsp;&nbsp;
He also called out top executives including CEO Tim Cook, marketing heads Greg Joswiak and Bob Borchers, software chief Craig Federighi, and AI lead John Giannandrea, saying all share <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44068020/apples-ai-crisis-falling-behind-in-the-ai-race">blame for the failure to deliver</a>.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44069535/anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-pushes-for-stronger-us-ai-safeguards-saying-autocracies-like-china-and-russia-could-use-ai-to-expand-their-power" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jeff Bezos-Backed Anthropic Pushes For Stronger US AI Safeguards, Saying Autocracies Like China, Russia Could Use AI To Expand Their Power</a>
&#8220;Given the nature of this collective failure, it's unlikely to result in management changes on Cook's executive team. That would mean admitting fault, which Apple hates doing,&#8221; Gurman said.
Previously, it was reported that Apple's Siri chief Robby Walker <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44345486/apple-scrambles-to-fix-siris-ugly-and-embarrassing-ai-failures-after-public-missteptop-executive-admits-marketing-it-too-soon-made-things-worse">described the situation</a> as embarrassing, ugly and disappointing, blaming the early marketing push for features that weren't ready.

Why It's Important: Apple's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39665558/apples-most-awaited-siri-ai-upgrade-will-not-come-until-2025-report">long-promised Apple Intelligence</a> — including major upgrades to Siri — is in disarray, with features delayed indefinitely and internal frustration mounting.&nbsp;
Apple is under growing pressure to catch up in the AI race as rivals like OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:&nbsp; META), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) advance rapidly.
Apple&#8217;s AI setbacks coincide with a 12.45% drop in its stock value this year. Last week, Morgan Stanley expressed concerns about the company&#8217;s AI delays, lowering its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/03/44284821/apple-stock-takes-a-bite-out-of-investors-as-siri-fumbles-ai-race">price target from $275 to $252</a>.
Price Action: Apple shares ended Friday at $213.49, gaining 1.82% during the session. However, in after-hours trading, the stock dipped slightly by 0.07%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) led by the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, is in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/ma/25/03/44317138/warren-buffetts-real-estate-brokerage-compass-discuss-deal-report">talks to sell</a> its real estate brokerage business to New York-based Compass Real Estate. While some experts view this as his levered bet against the U.S. home prices, others see it as a consolidation in the realty sector.
What Happened: Compass has offered to buy Berkshire&#8217;s realty business, HomeServices of America, including Real Living, for an undisclosed price, according to a WSJ <a href="https://www.wsj.com/real-estate/compass-in-talks-to-buy-warren-buffetts-real-estate-brokerage-unit-5eab82e5">report</a>. The Berkshire business has about 820 offices and 270 franchises, whereas Compass is the second-largest U.S. brokerage.
After these reports emerged, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya took to X and said that &#8220;The world's best investor is selling his bet levered to US home prices.&#8221;
However, there wasn&#8217;t a consensus on the fact that a bet against a traditional brokerage is the same as betting against the U.S. home prices. According to Amy Nixon, a DFW housing and economic analyst, the possible sale of Berkshire&#8217;s realty business to Compass was &#8220;not necessarily a bet against US home prices,&#8221; because Buffett could be betting on the real estate technology to reshape the industry further.

Why It Matters: Despite a sale of its business having any correlation with a bet on U.S. home prices, as mentioned by Nixon. The impact of higher interest rates does affect the housing market. Higher interest rates strain both homebuyers, facing increased monthly payments, and sellers, experiencing reduced demand and lower offers.
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s primary monetary policy-making body, the Federal Open Market Committee, is scheduled to meet on March 18 and 19 this week to decide on the course of interest rates.
According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 99% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting. However, the probability of an ease increases from June 2025 onwards. 
Furthermore, the U.S. real estate sector is consolidating, as Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>) signed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/ma/25/03/44317138/warren-buffetts-real-estate-brokerage-compass-discuss-deal-report">acquisition deal</a> worth $1.75 billion last week with Redfin Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDFN#NASDAQ">RDFN</a>).
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Friday. The SPY was advanced 2.07% to $562.81, and the QQQ also jumped 2.42% to $479.66, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk hinted at a possible timeline for human landings on Mars.
What Happened: On Saturday, Musk posted on X that SpaceX&#8217;s Starship is scheduled to depart for Mars by the end of 2026, carrying Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Optimus robot. He indicated that if the landings go well, human missions could start as early as 2029, although 2031 seems more probable.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus.

The post comes in the wake of SpaceX&#8217;s 23rd anniversary,&nbsp;celebrated on March 14.&nbsp;The reference to Optimus is notable as it connects to Tesla&#8217;s humanoid robot development, initially revealed in 2021, designed for tasks both on Earth and in space. Musk anticipates their involvement in Mars exploration as early as 2026.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s post aligns with his long-term vision for human settlement on Mars, with potential missions beginning in 2029 or 2031, according to recent updates. In February, Musk also mentioned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/43840887/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-making-mars-self-sustaining-will-take-up-to-half-a-century-will-require-10-earth-mars-transfer-windows">making Mars self-sustaining</a> or capable of supporting human life will take somewhere between 25-50 years. 
In a Reuters report in November, sources familiar with U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s space policy agenda revealed to the publication that Elon Musk&#8217;s vision of human transportation to Mars is set to become a greater national priority under the President. &#8220;We want to reach Mars before the end of my term,&#8221; Trump said during his 2024 presidential campaign. He had even set up the Space Force and revived the National Space Council during his previous term.
George Nield, president of Commercial Space Technologies and a former FAA official had told AFP in November, &#8220;There&#8217;s a good chance we&#8217;ll see at least a re-look at the Artemis program—whether that means speeding it up or even skipping the moon to focus on Mars.&#8221;&nbsp;This could be a monumental change for a program estimated to cost over $90 billion.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investor Ross Gerber shared footage of protesters outside a Tesla store in Santa Monica, highlighting growing public backlash against the electric vehicle maker amid CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s political activities.
What Happened: &#8220;Guess the Tesla takeover was in Santa Monica today. My wife ran into this peaceful display of distaste for Elon Musk in front of the Tesla store,&#8221; Gerber wrote Sunday on X. The video concludes with the voice of his 9-year-old child saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad we don&#8217;t have a Tesla.&#8221;
Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, has grown increasingly critical of Tesla despite his long-standing investment in the company. In a recent interview, he stated <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44321998/why-ross-gerber-finds-tesla-stock-expensive-despite-its-50-plunge-fundamental-story-has-to-be-revalued">Tesla shares remain overvalued</a> even after plunging nearly 50% since mid-December.
&#8220;There&#8217;s this game that is happening now where the fundamental story has to be revalued,&#8221; Gerber said, noting Tesla&#8217;s forward price-to-earnings ratio of 65 remains more than triple the S&amp;P 500 average.

Why It Matters: The protests come amid escalating tensions surrounding Musk&#8217;s dual role as Tesla CEO and leader of the Department of Government Efficiency in President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration. Demonstrations have <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42028821/amazon-india-to-shift-headquarters-to-bengalurus-outskirts-to-cut-costs">occurred at Tesla showrooms</a> across the U.S., with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently calling for an FBI investigation into what she termed &#8220;organized attacks&#8221; on Tesla facilities.
Gerber previously indicated he would &#8220;eventually&#8221; sell his Cybertruck, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43761581/ross-gerber-says-hes-eventually-selling-his-cybertruck-because-the-hate-is-real-as-protests-rock-tesla-showrooms">writing in February</a> that &#8220;the hate is real&#8221; after spotting a vandalized vehicle. Public figures like singer Sheryl Crow have publicly documented selling their Teslas over political disagreements with Musk.
Tesla&#8217;s challenges extend internationally, with German sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44295808/tesla-braces-for-lowest-quarterly-deliveries-since-2022-jpmorgan-predicts-a-brand-has-lost-so-much-value-so-quickly">reportedly dropping 60% year-over-year in January</a> following Musk&#8217;s support for far-right political groups. JPMorgan Chase analysts warned Wednesday that Tesla &#8220;lost too much brand value too quickly&#8221; and could face its lowest quarterly deliveries since 2022.
The company reported its first-ever annual sales decline in 2024, though Musk pledged Tuesday that Tesla would double its U.S. vehicle production over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44346423/teslas-biggest-bull-frustrated-with-elon-musks-focus-on-doge-over-company-patience-wearing-thin">the next two years</a>.
