China’s DeepSeek open-sources tools to help Huawei chips supplant Nvidia in AI

Hangzhou-based DeepSeek released six software modules that mirror its prior open-source tools for Nvidia’s AI chips.

The releases include an Ascend-compatible version of TileLang, a custom programming language for high-performance kernels.

TileLang now officially supports Huawei’s Ascend 950 accelerators, offering native code generation and automatic scheduling.
