Interesting! If they have this, why are the Chinese labs still so compute-limited (hence relying on distillation instead of training from scratch), and why do they seem to want Nvidia chips so badly?

Everyone, including the Chinese labs, seem to understand that Huawei's chips are not as capable as their press releases make them out to be.

Also, for what it's worth, tech-insider.org is an embarrassingly lazy AI-generated content farm: https://tech-insider.org/about/

I would hazard a guess that Huawei is paying to get positive stories about their chips on the English-language internet, because they certainly aren't getting any organically!
