HONG KONG - Chinese AI company DeepSeek announced on Wednesday a partnership with Huawei Technologies to create programming tools for Huawei's Ascend chips. This move underscores how Chinese tech firms are increasingly forming alliances to reduce their dependence on Nvidia's ecosystem. DeepSeek disclosed on its official WeChat platform that it would be open-sourcing infrastructure for Huawei's Ascend platform.
This includes a high-level programming language called TileLang, alongside related compute and communication libraries. The company stated that creating an independent, self-controlled GPU software ecosystem is its top priority. DeepSeek explained that TileLang was developed to meet this need, offering a simpler programming model compared to Nvidia's CUDA. This new language is designed to enhance development efficiency and simplify code logic.
