Sources report that a training cluster consisting of 11,520 Huawei Ascend 910C chips has been deployed in Guangdong, boasting a nominal compute power of 9,000 PFLOPS.
The deployment was reportedly completed by China Telecom, with the goal of "breaking the constraints of overseas high-end compute supply." However, the original text notes that the announcement did not provide any training efficiency benchmarks comparing it directly to Nvidia.
