With Folded Chips, Huawei Leads China's AI Race

NRC·23 September · 22:00·6 hours ago

Huawei is leading China’s push for technological independence in artificial intelligence by developing its own chips and systems amid US export restrictions. The company opened a massive new research campus in Shanghai, employing 30,000 technicians to design alternatives to Nvidia’s hardware. As US-China trade tensions rise, with both nations seeking to reduce mutual dependence, Huawei has shifted its focus to domestic sales, which now account for 70 percent of its revenue. Chinese developers are encouraged to use Huawei’s Ascend chips, even if they offer less power than Western counterparts, as Beijing aims to build a self-sufficient supply chain for critical technologies and AI models.
