Huawei Ascend 950 SuperPoD: 1024 NPUs with 256TB Unified Memory Redefines AI Compute
Huawei unveiled the Ascend 950 SuperPoD at WAIC 2026, featuring 1024 NPUs per cabinet with 256TB unified memory and 3μs latency. This system-level innovation compensates for process limitations, scaling to 500,000 NPUs for trillion-parameter model training, shifting the compute race from single-chip to system efficiency.
Huawei Ascend 10K-Card Cluster Goes Live, UnifiedBus Protocol Pools All Resources
Huawei launched an Ascend 10,000-card AI cluster in Shaoguan, Guangdong, and showcased the Atlas 950 SuperPoD with its proprietary UnifiedBus interconnect supporting 8,192 NPUs at 16.3 PB/s. Huawei Cloud also entered the Gartner 2026 Cloud AI Infrastructure Leaders quadrant, reinforcing its push for a self-contained AI ecosystem.
Huawei Ascend 910C Trains 1.6T-Parameter MoE Model: First Full Pipeline on Domestic AI Chips
Huawei, in collaboration with research institutes, completed full-parameter post-training of DeepSeek-V4-Pro (1.6 trillion parameters, MoE) on an Ascend 910C cluster. Key metrics: stable 1,500 steps on 1,000 cards, 30% compute utilization, 14% operator efficiency gain, zero reliance on foreign GPUs. This marks the first end-to-end trillion-parameter training loop on domestic chips.
