Chinese AI company DeepSeek has released open-source programming tools developed in partnership with Huawei, for the company’s Ascend AI chips , as part of efforts to reduce reliance on Nvidia’s software and hardware ecosystem. According to a September 30 Reuters report , the release includes open-source libraries for AI computation and chip-to-chip communication, as well as Ascend support for the high-level programming language TileLang.
DeepSeek says the tools — for which Huawei provided full support during development — are intended to simplify programming while enabling developers to fully leverage the hardware’s performance.
