This was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huaweicentral.com\/one-new-ai-chip-coming-every-year-with-double-computing-power-huawei\/\">announced<\/a> by the company&#8217;s Vice President and Head of Cloud Business in China, Chen Lin.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the market is facing a shortage of computing power and rising memory costs. This impacts the training and iteration of models, increasing expenses. Chen Lin believes the solution lies in stable supplies of computing resources and a predictable schedule for capacity upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>The top executive confirmed the plan of &#8220;one generation per year, doubling computing power.&#8221; The Ascend 950DT chip is set to officially launch in Huawei Cloud&#8217;s service in August. The company promises significant improvements in vector performance, memory bandwidth, and interconnects, along with native support for modern formats like <span data-descr=\"a number representation standard that requires half the memory of the usual FP16\" class=\"old_tooltip\">FP8<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Huawei claims this will simplify programming and model tuning, including scenarios for intelligent driving.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the Huawei Cloud division announced the creation of a global computing and storage network based on its own Ascend chips and a localized supply chain. Plans include 34 regions and 102 availability zones; large computing clusters have already been deployed in Guiyang, Wuhu, and Inner Mongolia.<\/p>\n<p>The company also outlined goals in the automotive and corporate sectors. Manufacturers of &#8220;smart&#8221; vehicles will gain a more secure and reliable cloud infrastructure, along with sustainable development of computing power. Huawei will continue to increase investments in AI services for business digital transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Back in January, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/chinas-ai-advances-narrow-gap-with-the-west\">suggested<\/a> that China has nearly caught up with the US and the West in the AI field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huawei plans to release a new generation of Ascend AI chips each year, doubling their performance annually.
