Ascend 910C

Ascend 910C refers to a powerful chip developed by Huawei Technologies, designed to support advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model training. It has recently gained prominence as a key component in China's drive for AI self-reliance, particularly amidst tightening US sanctions. A notable development is the successful use of Ascend 910C chips by a research team, including Huawei, to complete the post-training of the DeepSeek-V4-Pro model. This achievement signifies a significant advancement for China's semiconductor industry, enabling it to move beyond basic AI inference towards more complex model training capabilities. The Ascend 910C's role in facilitating such sophisticated AI development underscores its current relevance and strategic importance in bolstering China's domestic AI ecosystem and reducing reliance on foreign technology.
