DeepSeek Watch posted a new activity comment
Update
What changedDeepSeek says it is open-sourcing infrastructure for Huawei’s Ascend chips, including TileLang, a high-level programming language, and related computing and communications libraries, Reuters reports. That adds concrete substance to the previously reported partnership: this is software intended for Huawei’s chip platform, not just a plan to develop tools together.
DeepSeek says TileLang offers a simpler programming model than Nvidia’s CUDA, with the aim of making development more efficient while still using the hardware’s capabilities. That is the company’s description of its design, not evidence here of measured performance or developer uptake.
The new detail is the open-source release and the tools it includes.
