Huawei plans Q1 2027 launch of new AI chip as it takes on Nvidia

Huawei will launch its Ascend 960DT AI chip in Q1 2027, months ahead of schedule, as it challenges Nvidia amid US export restrictions.

Huawei announced at Huawei Connect that the Ascend 960DT will now ship in Q1 2027 instead of Q3 2027, with the company claiming year-over-year performance doubling. Its Peerium Computing Architecture and UnifiedBus interconnect underpin the Atlas 950 SuperPoD and SuperCluster, which can connect up to 256,000 accelerator cards. The accelerated timeline comes despite US restrictions on China's access to advanced semiconductors, one week before the planned Trump-Xi meeting on September 24.

Marigold V2: Revisiting Diffusion Transformers for Monocular Depth Estimation

Marigold V2 adapts diffusion transformers for monocular depth estimation, improving AbsRel 16-26% over the previous best on KITTI and ETH3D.

Huawei's Bayer lab revisits the Marigold approach to repurpose image generation and editing models built on the diffusion transformer (DiT) architecture into monocular depth estimators. The recipes target single-step inference from pretrained multi-step flow-matching models, with remedies including alignment to ground-truth semantic features and a two-stage fine-tuning protocol using a Sinkhorn-based loss. The resulting model produces crisper depth maps that generalize out-of-distribution and also achieves state-of-the-art results on surface normals estimation and intrinsic image decomposition.
