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

中國科技巨擘華為發布嶄新晶片技術,向輝達等全球翹楚發起挑戰,凸顯出中美兩國於人工智慧領域之差距正日趨收窄。

This announcement came as Huawei made the news public at its flagship annual conference held in Shanghai on Thursday, just days before US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet in Washington on September 24.

值此華為於週四假上海所召開之年度重要會議上宣布此一消息之際,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。

At a time when US-led restrictions bar China from obtaining some of the world's most advanced AI chips and cutting-edge chipmaking equipment, China has promptly pursued technological self-reliance, encompassing the chip sector.

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尖端晶片製造設備之際,中國旋即追求技術自主涵蓋晶片領域

At this event, Huawei officially unveiled the Atlas 960 SuperPoD computing cluster; as a faster successor to its predecessor model that had been on the market for only a few months, this cluster has made advances in both artificial intelligence training and "inference."

於此次活動中華為正式發佈了Atlas 960 SuperPoD運算集群該集群作為其問世僅數月之前代型號的更高速繼任者,於人工智慧訓練及「推理」層面均有所精進

So-called inference refers to the process by which an artificial intelligence that has already completed training makes predictions or decisions.

所謂推理係指已完成訓練之人工智慧進行預測或決策的過程

Huawei has further outlined plans to roll out its Ascend 970 and 980 chip series in 2028 and 2029 respectively, with a marked leap in computing performance anticipated.

華為更規劃於2028年及2029年相繼推出Ascend 970與980晶片系列,預期運算效能將獲顯著躍升。

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

「此一時機——距習近平主席訪問華盛頓尚不足兩週——彰顯了北京在技術與創新領域所抱持的信心與雄心,」諮詢公司The Asia Group合夥人兼數位業務主席陳喬治如是表示。

Amid Huawei's announcement, Trump also played down appeals from leaders in the field of artificial intelligence, who, citing safety concerns, had called for slowing the pace of the technology's development.

值此華為發布消息之際,川普淡化了人工智慧領域領袖們基於安全考量所提出、籲請放緩該技術發展步伐的訴求

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

川普堅稱美國務須維持對中國之領先地位並直言在人工智慧領域獲勝,誰就贏得一切」。

"The evolution of artificial intelligence is so rapid that no one can guarantee remaining at the forefront indefinitely," George Chen remarked.

「人工智慧的演進之迅猛,致使無人得以確保其恆居鰲頭,」陳喬治如是說道。

Analysts point out that China's cutting-edge technologies, such as the training of artificial intelligence models, have to date still tended to rely on American chips, including those manufactured by Nvidia.

分析人士指出中國諸如人工智慧模型訓練尖端技術迄今往往仰賴美國晶片其中包括輝達所產之晶片

Nevertheless, Huawei has already developed advanced chips of its own and has firmly established itself at the forefront among Chinese chip developers, this being attributable to the growing inclination of Chinese artificial intelligence enterprises to adopt domestically produced chips.

然而華為已然研製出自身之先進晶片於中國晶片開發商中穩居鰲頭此乃因中國人工智慧企業日益傾向採用國產晶片之故。

The Atlas 960 SuperPoD computing cluster was unveiled hot on the heels of the company's launch of the Atlas 950 SuperPod, and the sheer speed of its arrival left a number of technology analysts distinctly taken aback.

Atlas 960 SuperPoD運算集群於公司推出Atlas 950 SuperPod後旋即問世,其問世之速,令若干技術分析人士倍感訝異。

"Huawei achieved this upgrade in merely a single year, a pace far outstripping that of the past, and this will only intensify America's anxiety over this ever-escalating artificial intelligence race," said George Chen.

華為僅耗時一載便達致此一升級其速度遠邁往昔,此舉只會令美國對這場愈演愈烈的人工智慧競賽更添焦慮,」陳喬治如是說
