Huawei vs Etched

Huawei designs Ascend AI chips for data-center training and inference, and HarmonyOS, a distributed operating system spanning phones, wearables, PCs, vehicles and smart-home devices. Its customers include Chinese cloud providers, carriers and enterprises.

Etched designs Sohu, a transformer-specialized inference ASIC that runs large language model inference with higher throughput and lower cost than GPUs. The company targets AI teams deploying transformer models at scale.
