Chinese tech giant Huawei has unveiled new chip technology, challenging global leaders such as Nvidia and highlighting that the gap between China and the United States in artificial intelligence is narrowing.

中國科技巨頭華為發布了新晶片技術,向輝達等全球領導者發起挑戰,突顯出中國與美國在人工智慧領域的差距正在縮小。

Huawei made the announcement on Thursday at its major annual conference in Shanghai, just days before US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet in Washington on 24 September.

華為於週四在上海召開的年度重要會議上宣布了這一消息,而數日之後,美國總統川普與中國國家主席習近平預計將於9月24日在華盛頓舉行會晤。

As US-led restrictions bar China from obtaining some of the world's most advanced AI chips and cutting-edge chipmaking equipment, China is rapidly pursuing technological self-reliance, including in the chip sector.

在美國主導的限制措施禁止中國獲取若干全球最先進的人工智慧晶片及尖端晶片製造設備之際,中國正迅速追求技術自主,其中包括晶片領域。

At the event, Huawei unveiled the Atlas 960 SuperPoD computing cluster, a faster successor to the model it had launched only months earlier, with improvements in AI training and "inference."

華為在活動中推出了Atlas 960 SuperPoD運算集群,這是其僅數月前推出型號更快繼任者在人工智慧訓練「推理」方面有所改進。

Inference refers to the process by which a trained AI makes predictions or decisions.

所謂推理是指已訓練的人工智慧進行預測決策的過程

Huawei also plans to launch the Ascend 970 and 980 chip series in 2028 and 2029, with computing power expected to increase substantially.

華為還計劃在2028年和2029年推出Ascend 970和980晶片系列,預計運算能力將大幅提升。

"This timingless than two weeks before President Xi Jinping's visit to Washingtonhighlights Beijing's confidence and ambition in technology and innovation," said George Chen, a partner at the consulting firm The Asia Group and chairman of its digital practice.

「這一時機——距離習近平主席訪問華盛頓不到兩週——凸顯了北京在技術和創新方面的信心與雄心,」諮詢公司The Asia Group合夥人兼數位業務主席陳喬治表示。

As Huawei released this news, Trump also played down calls from leaders in the field of artificial intelligence to slow the development of the technology on safety grounds.

在華為發布這一消息之際川普亦淡化了人工智慧領域領袖們出於安全考量而呼籲放緩該技術發展的請求

Trump insisted that the United States must maintain its lead over China, and said, "Whoever wins in artificial intelligence wins everything."

川普堅稱美國必須維持對中國的領先並表示誰在人工智慧領域獲勝誰就贏得一切」。

"Artificial intelligence is developing so rapidly that no one can be certain of staying ahead forever," said George Chen.

「人工智慧的發展速度如此之快,沒有人能確定永遠保持領先,」陳喬治說。

Analysts point out that in advanced technological fields such as AI model training, China still often relies on American chips, including Nvidia's products.

分析人士指出中國人工智慧模型訓練先進技術領域往往仰賴美國晶片包括輝達的產品

However, Huawei has successfully developed its own advanced chips and maintained a leading position among Chinese chip developers, because Chinese AI companies are increasingly inclined to adopt domestically produced chips.

然而華為成功研製出自有的先進晶片中國晶片開發商維持領先地位原因在於中國的人工智慧企業日益傾向採用國產晶片

The Atlas 960 SuperPoD computing cluster was launched shortly after the company introduced the Atlas 950 SuperPod late last year, which surprised some technology analysts.

Atlas 960 SuperPoD運算集群在公司於去年年底推出Atlas 950 SuperPod後不久便問世一些技術分析人士感到驚訝

"Huawei achieved this upgrade in just one year, far faster than before, and this will only intensify America's anxiety about the accelerating artificial intelligence race," George Chen said.

「華為僅用一年就實現這一升級,遠快於以往,這只會加劇美國對加速中的人工智慧競賽的焦慮,」陳喬治說。
