DeepSeek partners with Huawei to develop chip programming tools, reducing reliance on Nvidia
DeepSeek released six software modules for Huawei’s Ascend chips, including TileLang, as China seeks a domestic alternative to Nvidia’s CUDA ecosystem.
- On Wednesday, Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek open-sourced core tools tailored for Huawei Technologies' Ascend AI chips, aiming to reduce reliance on U.S. giant Nvidia processors amid American export curbs.
- DeepSeek released six software modules to build an "independent and controllable" software ecosystem for GPUs, reflecting accelerated efforts within China's tech sector to establish self-controlled supply chains amid tightening U.S. export controls.
- Among these releases is an Ascend-compatible version of TileLang, a custom programming language for kernel development. The project now officially supports Huawei's Ascend 950, offering "native code generation, automatic scheduling, and synchronisation," according to GitHub.
- DeepSeek stated "TileLang was created precisely to meet this need," offering "a simpler programming model" than Nvidia's CUDA. The language improves development efficiency and simplifies code logic for developers.
- By bridging the gap between advanced large language model architectures and domestic hardware, DeepSeek and Huawei are laying groundwork for a robust alternative to Western computing dominance. The partnership reflects China's broader push for semiconductor independence.
