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.
