DeepSeek partners with Huawei to develop chip programming tools, reducing reliance on Nvidia
HONG KONG: Chinese AI firm DeepSeek said on Wednesday it has partnered with Huawei Technologies to develop programming tools for Huawei's Ascend chips, the latest sign of Chinese tech firms deepening ties as they seek alternatives to the Nvidia ecosystem.
HONG KONG - Chinese AI company DeepSeek has announced a partnership with Huawei Technologies to create programming tools for Huawei's Ascend chips, according to a statement on its official WeChat account. The collaboration aims to reduce dependence on Nvidia's ecosystem, as Chinese tech firms strengthen ties. DeepSeek is open-sourcing infrastructure for Huawei's Ascend platform, including a high-level programming language called TileLang and related compute and communication libraries.
The primary goal is to build an independent, self-controlled GPU software ecosystem. DeepSeek emphasized that TileLang was developed to provide a universal, easy-to-program language capable of reaching the hardware's full performance potential. The high-level language offers a simpler programming model than Nvidia's CUDA, which improves development efficiency and simplifies code logic.
