Huawei open-sources chip software ecosystem BEIJING -- Chinese tech giant Huawei has announced the full open-source release of its Ascend chip software ecosystem, aiming to support users to explore its deep potential and undertake customized development independently. Known as CANN (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), the software serves as a bridge between high-level AI training frameworks and Ascend chips, allowing its users to access the computing power without dealing with chip-level complexities. The announcement was made at an Ascend computing industry summit held in Beijing on Tuesday. Representatives of leading AI enterprises, universities, research institutions and Huawei partners launched an initiative to develop the CANN open-source ecosystem, aiming to unite industry strengths, explore the frontiers of AI and build a thriving chip ecosystem. #OpenSource https://www.wicinternet.org/2025-08/12/c_1115515.htm
