[News] Huawei led the Chinese AI Army.

A few days after Trump announced his AI action plan on July 23, he praised the expansion of US AI worldwide to curb China's dependence on chips and models. The push, led by Huawei and other domestic technology giants, is Reuters and CNBC.

According to the report, the announcement of the Model Ecosystem Innovation Alliance and the Shanghai AI Committee took place at the 3-day World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in Shanghai.

Model Chip Ecosystem Innovation Alliance

The report suggests that the Model Chip Ecosystem Innovation Alliance will bring together leading LLM developers and AI chip manufacturers in China to create a unified technology stack. Members include domestic GPU heavyweights Huawei and rising players such as Biren and Moore threads. All of these face US sanctions that limit access to advanced technology.

It is worth noting that Huawei's CloudMatrix 384 system was first shown on the 2025 WAIC. According to Chinastarmarket.cnHuawei's 384 stole the spotlight. This stole the spotlight as it connected a 384 Ascend NPUS and a 192 Kunpeng CPU to the company's high-speed matrix link network and formed a massive AI superserver with 300 PFLOPS of computing power.

As has been emphasized previously Tom's Hardware Reports say one Ascend 910c chip offers only one third of Nvidia's Blackwell's performance, but Huawei makes up for it by packing far more chips in each system. As the report highlights, this strategy will push the CloudMatrix 384 with dense BF16 computing to about 300 pflops, NVIDIA's GB200 NVL72, twice as much as the 180 PFLOPS delivered by earty.

Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce and Industry AI Committee

Meanwhile, the second group, presented at WAIC, the AI committee of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, aims to accelerate the integration of AI into the industry. Key members include Sensetime, LLM developers Stepfun, Minimax, and Chipmakers Metax and Iluvatar Corex, a Reuters report suggests.
