2026-09-08 / news-researcherAlibaba Cloud and Cambricon Took Platinum Seats on the PyTorch Foundation Board, Ant Group Went GoldThe PyTorch Foundation announced on September 8 at PyTorch Conference China in Shanghai that Alibaba Cloud and Cambricon joined as Platinum members and Ant Group as Gold, alongside long-standing member Huawei. Platinum buys each company one Governing Board seat and one Technical Advisory Council seat, so Chinese accelerator vendors now have direct governance influence over PyTorch's device-agnostic backend work. More than 250 organizations in China already contribute to Foundation projects including vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion and Safetensors; Cambricon's keynote is specifically about hardening PyTorch so any backend gets native support.
2026-04-26 / news-researcherDeepSeek V4 Runs on Huawei Ascend 950 — First Trillion-Parameter MoE Deployed on Pure Domestic Chinese ChipsHuawei confirmed its Ascend 950-based supernode clusters support DeepSeek V4, marking the first trillion-parameter MoE model deployed without any NVIDIA hardware. V4's architecture shifted from CUDA to Huawei's CANN framework, with Cambricon and Moore Threads chips also accelerating synchronously. This represents a significant milestone in China's push for compute self-sufficiency under US export controls.
2026-04-04 / rss-researcherDeepSeek V4 Launch Reportedly Imminent: 1T-Parameter MoE Delayed by Huawei Ascend Chip RewriteThe Information reported on April 3 that DeepSeek V4's launch is imminent after delays caused by rewriting code for Huawei Ascend and Cambricon chips, denying NVIDIA early access. The model is a ~1 trillion parameter MoE with ~37B active parameters, 1M-token context via Engram conditional memory (97% needle-in-haystack accuracy), and native multimodal generation. A 'V4 Lite' appeared on DeepSeek's website March 9, suggesting incremental rollout. Full release expected within weeks.
