Core Facts
The NPU is a hardware accelerator designed specifically for AI inference computation; the Hexagon NPU in Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 series, Apple's Neural Engine, and MediaTek's APU have all been integrated into mobile chips.
Baidu's Comate, Huawei's CodeArts Snap, and Zhipu AI's CodeGeeX are also domestically developed AI programming tools.
Liang Wenfeng said Huawei gave DeepSeek 16,000 950 chips, equivalent to 4,000 B-series cards; 4 Huawei 950s match 1 GB300, lagging two years behind in time and costing 50% to twice as much.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Previously, some Huawei and Xiaomi models have already adopted variable aperture technology multiple times.
In the Chinese market, domestic companies are being guided to reduce purchases of Nvidia accelerators, and domestic chips from Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu are filling the gap.
Zhijie invested several billion yuan in Wuhu, Anhui, to build a dedicated smart manufacturing plant, introducing Huawei's closed-loop supply chain management system and AI quality monitoring system, and the plant has obtained CMMM smart manufacturing maturity level four certification.
The relationship among Zhijie, Huawei and Chery is: Huawei gives Zhijie capabilities, Chery gives Zhijie manufacturing and an automotive industry foundation, and Zhijie itself is responsible for the brand and the product closed loop.
This year Zhijie has put nearly 90 dedicated-network stores into use, while continuing to gain empowerment from nearly a thousand Huawei terminal stores.
Avatr Technology is a high-end smart electric vehicle brand jointly founded in 2018 by Changan Automobile, Huawei, and CATL, and was formerly Changan NIO.
Wang Hui is one of the important executives within the Changan system who promoted cooperation with Huawei earlier and more firmly.
Avatr belongs to the HI model, that is, it carries Huawei's full-stack smart car solution, but the brand and sales channels are still led by the automaker.
There are mainly three cooperation models between Huawei and automakers: the component supply model, the HI (Huawei Inside) model, and the HarmonyOS Intelligent Mobility (Zhixuanche) model.
In Avatr's equity structure, Changan Automobile is the largest shareholder, Huawei provides full-stack solutions such as the smart cockpit and intelligent driving, and CATL is responsible for the power battery.
