Chinese tech giant Huawei has unveiled new chip technology, mounting a challenge to global leaders such as Nvidia, a development that underscores the narrowing gap between China and the United States in the field of artificial intelligence.

中国科技巨头华为推出了新的芯片技术,向英伟达等全球领先者发起挑战,这凸显出中美在人工智能领域的差距正在缩小。

Huawei announced the news 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 September 24.

华为于周四在上海举行的年度重要会议上宣布了这一消息,而仅数日之后,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与中国国家主席习近平预计将于9月24日在华盛顿举行会晤。

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

由于美国主导的限制措施禁止中国获取一些全球最先进的人工智能芯片和尖端芯片制造设备,中国一直在迅速追求技术自立,包括在芯片领域。

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

华为在此次活动上推出了Atlas 960 SuperPoD计算集群,这是其数月前才发布的型号的更快后续产品在AI训练和“推理”方面有所改进

Inference refers to the process by which an AI, once trained, makes predictions or decisions.

所谓推理训练后的人工智能进行预测或决策的过程。

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

华为还计划于2028年和2029年先后推出昇腾970和980芯片系列,预计其计算能力将大幅提升。

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

“这一时机——距习近平主席访问华盛顿不到两周——凸显了北京在技术和创新方面的信心与雄心,”咨询公司The Asia Group合伙人兼数字业务主席陈乔治表示。

Amid Huawei's announcement, Trump played down the appeals from AI leaders who, citing security concerns, had called for slowing the development of the technology.

在华为宣布这一消息之际特朗普淡化了人工智能领袖们以安全为由呼吁放缓该技术发展的声音。

Trump insisted that the United States must maintain its lead over China, declaring, "Whoever wins AI wins everything."

特朗普坚称美国必须保持对中国的领先并称谁赢得人工智能谁就赢得一切”。

"AI is advancing so rapidly that no one can guarantee staying ahead indefinitely," Chen said.

“人工智能发展得如此迅速,以至于没有人能确保始终处于领先地位,”陈说。

Analysts point out that China still often relies on American chips, including Nvidia products, for advanced technologies such as training AI models.

分析人士指出中国在训练人工智能模型等先进技术方面仍往往依赖美国芯片其中不乏英伟达的产品

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

然而华为已自主研发出先进芯片,并在中国芯片开发商中保持领先地位其原因在于中国的人工智能公司日益倾向于采用国产芯片

The Atlas 960 SuperPoD computing cluster was unveiled shortly after the company launched the Atlas 950 SuperPod at the end of last year, which surprised some technology analysts.

Atlas 960 SuperPoD计算集群在公司去年年底推出Atlas 950 SuperPod后不久便问世,这让一些技术分析师感到惊讶。

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

“华为仅用一年就实现了这一升级,速度远超以往,这只会加剧美国对人工智能竞争加速的焦虑,”陈说。
