This includes Huawei’s Ascend AI chips, which—though less powerful than Nvidia’s—can now be clustered to deliver massive compute power. This approach mirrors Nvidia’s NVLink, which enables high-speed communication between AI processors. By scaling Ascend chips together, Huawei aims to give researchers and enterprises more firepower for training large AI models and running advanced applications. Why this …
