US-sanctioned Huawei is playing a leading role in finding solutions that can empower China’s AI ambitions without relying on foreign tech
The Shenzhen-based telecommunications equipment giant’s high-profile disclosure came just a day before a scheduled phone call between President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump, as Beijing seeks to minimise US export restrictions while pursuing a policy of self-reliance in technology.
Huawei said it had developed the “world’s most powerful” supernode computing cluster using local chipmaking processes, while also disclosing plans to launch upgraded Ascend AI chips over the next three years. The moves provide a boost to the country’s efforts to build self-reliance in AI computing and offer a wholesale alternative to the US-led AI hardware ecosystem.
