Latest Pulse

  1. Huawei Pitches A Cheaper Path Around Co-Packaged OpticsHuawei is promoting near-packaged optics as a lower-cost alternative to co-packaged optics for AI networking, targeting the serviceability and yield problems that have slowed CPO adoption.
  2. Huawei's New Chip Is Built to Need Nobody AmericanHuawei's new Kirin 9050 Pro processor uses a proprietary 'Tau Scaling' architecture designed to claw back performance without the advanced chipmaking equipment TSMC and Intel rely on -- and that US export controls keep out of China.
  3. HP Signs Patent Deal With Blacklisted Huawei on WiFiHP Inc. signed a multiyear global patent cross-licensing deal covering Huawei's WiFi 7 technology, a rare commercial agreement between a US PC maker and a company the US government has barred from working with American suppliers since 2019.
  4. Brazil Commits $444M to AI, Hedges US and ChinaBrazil announced roughly $444M in AI investment including a $251M supercomputer built with China's Huawei and iFlytek, explicitly hedging between US and Chinese technology as it builds domestic AI capacity.
  5. DeepSeek Is Reportedly Building Its Own AI Inference ChipDeepSeek has quietly been hiring chip-design engineers and holding talks with foundry and memory partners to build its own inference chip, a push to reduce reliance on both Nvidia and Huawei as it scales toward an IPO.
  6. Huawei-Led Team Post-Trains DeepSeek's 1.6-Trillion-Parameter Model on Ascend Chips, Not NvidiaA research group including Huawei completed full-parameter post-training of DeepSeek's 1.6-trillion-parameter V4-Pro model using a cluster of at least 1,000 Huawei Ascend 910C chips -- demonstrating that a frontier-scale Chinese model can be trained end-to-end on domestic silicon. It's a milestone in China's drive to break free of US chips and the CUDA ecosystem.
