The two companies also worked together to optimize computation and communication on a supernode system built around 128 Ascend 950 chips. It supports BF16, FP8, and FP4 operations and uses the same programming interfaces as DeepSeek's existing DeepGEMM library, allowing developers to retain familiar APIs when moving to Ascend.
