Partnership: Deepseek Invents Programming Tool for Huawei's AI Chips
Deepseek and Huawei want to make it easier for developers to access powerful AI hardware. Their new software is intended to provide an alternative to Nvidia's dominant programming environment.
Frankfurt - Chinese AI startup DeepSeek aims to make it easier for programmers to extract maximum performance from Huawei's AI processors. The new development environment, announced by DeepSeek on Wednesday, was created in partnership with the tech conglomerate. DeepSeek's environment utilizes the programming language "TileLang," which is easy to learn yet fully exploits the hardware's potential.
This arrangement is intended to make programming simpler than using Nvidia's "Cuda" development environment. Nvidia's Cuda has built an ecosystem over the years, becoming a near-standard for high-performance processors used in artificial intelligence. The software is considered a cornerstone of Nvidia's market dominance in AI processors.
DeepSeek's partnership with Huawei is another step in China's efforts to become less dependent on technology imports. The new development environment will reportedly be available as open-source software, allowing programmers to view and modify the code, similar to how the Linux operating system or the Firefox browser operate.
