Huawei can supply about 16,000 GPUs now, not enough for the next giant model

The speaker says domestic AI chips face no hardware or ecosystem obstacle, only insufficient production capacity. In practice, the team is working deeply with Huawei’s ecosystem, but Huawei can currently provide only about 16,000 GPUs—far below the 100,000-plus scale that internet giants may need. That makes training the next larger model or a several-hundred-billion-parameter model unrealistic today.
The post argues that the constraint is not technical feasibility but throughput and supply. It suggests there may be a chance to do much larger training runs on domestic hardware next year or the year after, as capacity expands.
