Huawei
Developer 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.
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.
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.
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.
Together AI
Developer tool
Custom model training service covering supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization, billed per token.
No counterpart
Huawei sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Together AI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
Together AI sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Huawei yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
Asynchronous bulk inference for workloads that do not need a real-time response, priced below Together's serverless rate.
A managed service for fine-tuning open-source models on a customer's own data and serving the result on Together's infrastructure.
Infrastructure service
Dedicated, reserved GPU containers for model inference with guaranteed performance, billed per GPU-hour.
Reserved NVIDIA GPU clusters for training and large-scale inference.
Model API
Hosted API serving open-weight text, image and audio models, billed per token.
