Horizon Robotics
Hardware
Horizon Robotics' family of production ADAS smart-camera products, spanning Mono 2, Mono 3 and Mono 6, that bundle camera hardware with Horizon's perception software on Journey-series processors.
The Journey line of automotive AI compute, spanning four generations from J2 (2019, 4 TOPS) to J6 (2024, 10-560 TOPS), sold to carmakers and tier-one suppliers.
Horizon Robotics' current generation of automotive AI compute hardware, spanning the J6B, J6E, J6M and J6P variants from entry-level active safety at 10+ TOPS to full-scenario assisted driving at 560 TOPS.
Huawei
Hardware
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.
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.
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.
