Huawei is seeking to grab a larger share of the Chinese market for artificial intelligence chips dominated by Nvidia, by helping local companies adopt their rival silicon for so-called “inference” tasks.
Leading AI companies in China rely on graphic processing units (GPUs) made by Nvidia to “train” large language models, with the $3.4tn US chipmaker’s products seen as vital to developing the technology.
Instead of challenging Nvidia in training, Huawei is positioning its latest Ascend AI processors as the hardware of choice for Chinese groups running “inference”, the computation undertaken by LLMs to generate a response to a prompt.
