Huawei

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.

Super Micro Computer

Hardware

Supermicro Super AI StationHardware

Liquid-cooled deskside or 5U rack AI system built on one NVIDIA GB300 superchip, with 748GB of coherent memory and 20 PFLOPS of FP4, for running, fine-tuning and developing AI models and agents on premises.
