What models run on: nine domestic chip roadmaps, LLM all-in-one machines, and supernode cluster solutions.

Domestic AI chip roadmaps

Training / inference positioning and 2026 status (compiled from public information)

VendorChip roadmapPositioning2026 status
Huawei Ascend910B → 910C → 950PR / 950DT → 960 / 970Unified training and inference, full-stack CANN910C in volume production; 950 series launching in two steps in 2026, with in-house HBM
CambriconMLU370 → 590 → 690Dual-use for training and inference590 in commercial volume use, 690 ramping to mass production, revenue growing rapidly
HygonDCU Gen1 → Gen2 → Gen3DCU with a CUDA-like ecosystemGen3 DCU scaling up; integration with Sugon completed

LLM all-in-one appliances

Out-of-the-box private deployment solutions (2025–2026)

  • Huawei FusionCube A3000: Dual-node support for full-parameter (671B) or quantized DeepSeek deployment; Atlas 800I A2 inference server (8×910B).
  • Chipmaker-backed offerings: Hygon, Moore Threads, MetaX, Biren, Enflame, Cambricon, Kunlunxin, and Iluvatar CoreX have all launched DeepSeek all-in-one appliances / integrated hardware-software solutions.
  • Server and industry players: Inspur YuanNao EPAI, H3C Lingxi, Lenovo WenTian, FusionScene, plus industry appliances from Baidu Qianfan, Tencent Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud.
  • Price range(channel estimates): Distilled / small-to-mid-parameter inference appliances run roughly in the hundreds of thousands of RMB; full 671B appliances roughly in the millions of RMB. Subject to vendor quotes.

Supernodes and clusters

The mainstream architecture in the 10,000-GPU era

Selection Tip: The model–chip compatibility matrix is key — mainstream open-source models like DeepSeek / Qwen / GLM / Kimi have all been adapted to Ascend and major domestic chip inference stacks. Before purchasing, be sure to confirm the target model's official compatibility list and operator coverage.
