Huawei aims to take on Nvidia’s H100 with new AI chip


Huawei reportedly plans to soon begin testing its latest Ascend AI chip, the Ascend 910D, which the company hopes will rival Nvidia's H100.

Chinese tech conglomerate Huawei is looking to take on semiconductor behemoth Nvidia with a new advanced AI chip. The company has been reaching out to other Chinese firms to find test partners, the Wall Street Journal reports, and hopes that its chip will rival Nvidia’s H100 series, which is popular for training AI models. If Huawei is successful, it could help fill a void in the Chinese AI market left by increased chip export controls in the U.S.
