D-Wave Quantum falls nearly 3% as earnings miss overshadows revenue beat
Investing.com -- Huawei Technologies announced plans to open-source its Compute Architecture for Neural Networks (CANN), the software toolkit used to develop applications on the company’s Ascend AI processors, South China Morning Post reports..
The move comes as the Shenzhen-based tech giant intensifies its competition against Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), and follows shortly after Beijing raised security concerns about Huawei’s H20 chip.
Huawei rotating chairman Eric Xu Zhijun stated on Tuesday at the company’s developer conference in Beijing that this initiative would "speed up innovation from developers" and "make Ascend easier to use."
According to a company statement made to SCMP, Huawei has already engaged in discussions with China’s leading artificial intelligence companies, business partners, universities, and research institutions about building an open-source Ascend ecosystem.
