Huawei's brute force AI tactic seems to be working — CloudMatrix 384 claimed to outperform Nvidia processors running DeepSeek R1

Huawei's CloudMatrix AI cluster takes a comparatively simple approach in its attempt to beat Nvidia, and the company's researchers and an outside firm claim it has worked, at least in one instance. A recent technical paper portends that a cluster of Ascend 910C chips has surpassed the performance of Nvidia's H800 chip in running DeepSeek's R1 LLM.

Huawei published a technical paper in collaboration with Chinese AI startup SiliconFlow, which finds that Huawei's CloudMatrix 384 cluster can outperform Nvidia in running DeepSeek models. The cluster's hardware and software stack was found to outpace systems using Nvidia's H800 chip, a variant of the H100 pared down for export to China, as well as the H100 itself when running DeepSeek's 671-billion-parameter R1 model.
