Update
What changedReuters reports that DeepSeek says Huawei provided full support in developing the programming infrastructure for Ascend chips. The companies have also jointly advanced a supernode solution built around 128 Ascend 950 chips, with work aimed at optimising both computation and communication.
DeepSeek says TileLang, an open-source high-level language for AI chips, is intended to make development more efficient and code simpler. It describes TileLang’s programming model as simpler than Nvidia’s CUDA; that is the company’s characterisation, not a measured comparison in the report.
The newly specified 128-chip system gives the reported partnership a concrete hardware target, beyond the software release already covered. Reuters reports DeepSeek’s statements; the account does not establish independent performance results for the supernode.
