Decart vs Huawei

Decart — Foundation Models · Private · $4B valuation · 3 of 3 figures sourced  |  Huawei — Hardware · Private · 3 of 3 figures sourced

Relationship

Decart Optimization Stack and CANN do comparable work on GPU programming and model training; both also serve buyers who need to program GPU accelerators, run an open-weight model on your own infrastructure, serve a model in production and 1 more; larger scale (private); ships developer tool and hardware rather than the same layer.

Application

Delulu (by Decart)Application

Delulu is Decart's consumer mobile app for AI photo transformation, published on iOS and Android by Decart.AI, Inc. Its store listing describes it as a way to 'Turn any photo into something fun, weird, or just really good-looking, with a single tap', browsing preset styles and creating stickers to share.

LucyApplication

Real-time video editing platform that edits and transforms live video at streaming speed, for enterprises, brands, creators and live/streaming/gaming use cases; built on Decart's DOS infrastructure.

API service

Oasis 3API service

Interactive world model for Physical AI, generating realistic, controllable real-time simulation environments for training autonomous systems, distributed as an API/SDK product built on Decart's Optimization Stack (DOS) infrastructure.

Infrastructure service

Decart Optimization StackInfrastructure service

The Decart Optimization Stack (DOS) is Decart's inference and training optimization infrastructure, spanning hardware-aware model design, kernel tooling, proprietary compilers and inference optimization. It is sold to hardware providers and AI teams as engagements covering benchmark optimization, customer-defined kernel and compiler work, cross-workload efficiency gains, and profiler and simulator licensing, and is marketed as hardware-agnostic across GPUs, TPUs, Trainium and AMD accelerators.

Model API

CogitoModel API

Cogito is Decart's OpenAI-compatible LLM inference API, serving frontier open-weight models including Kimi K2.6, Kimi K2.7 Code, GLM-5.2, Qwen3 235B and GPT-OSS 120B across Trainium, TPU and GPU capacity. A self-serve Standard tier is billed per token, while an ultra-fast reserved tier advertises 1,000+ tokens per second. It is built on Decart's own DOS optimization stack.

Decart API PlatformModel API

Hosted API for Decart's real-time video and world models.

Huawei sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Decart yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Developer tool

CANNDeveloper tool

Huawei's heterogeneous compute architecture for its Ascend/Atlas NPUs, supplying the operator libraries, compiler and programming interfaces that bridge AI frameworks to the hardware.

MindIEDeveloper tool

Inference engine and serving framework for Atlas/Ascend hardware that deploys LLM and diffusion models behind unified APIs compatible with vLLM, OpenAI and Triton interfaces.

MindSporeDeveloper tool

Open-source AI framework originated by Huawei for building, training and deploying models with native distributed training, best optimised for Huawei's Ascend/Atlas processors.

MindStudioDeveloper tool

End-to-end development toolchain for Atlas/Ascend AI applications, covering custom operator development, model conversion and compression, accuracy debugging and performance profiling via MindStudio Insight.

Hardware

AtlasHardware

Huawei's line of AI training and inference processors (NPUs) and the systems built on them -- the platform brand for the silicon itself (still called Ascend in some regional markets and in the underlying chip generation names), sold standalone and in Atlas-branded servers and SuperPoD clusters, now recorded in their own separate hardware and software-stack products.

Atlas 650E AI ServerHardware

14U AI server powered by eight Huawei 950DT NPUs, rated at up to 12.4 PFLOPS at mxFP4, for on-premises AI training and inference in finance, government and healthcare deployments.

Atlas 950 SuperPoDHardware

Rack-scale AI supercomputing cabinet built from 64 Huawei 950DT NPUs per cabinet and scalable to 1,024 NPUs over a UB Link fabric for trillion-parameter model training and inference.
