DeepSeek open-sources tools for Huawei’s AI chips
Its engineers added Huawei’s Ascend 950 to TileLang, an open-source language for AI chip code. DeepSeek says Huawei gave full support.
DeepSeek said on September 30 that it is open-sourcing programming tools for Huawei’s Ascend AI chips, including compute and communication libraries. Its engineers built support for the Ascend 950 into TileLang, an open-source language for writing the code that runs on AI chips. Reuters and the South China Morning Post describe it as a step away from Nvidia’s software.
