## Zhipu AI claims exclusive use of Huawei hardware for AI model training Chinese company Zhipu AI has announced that it has trained a new artificial intelligence model using only hardware manufactured by Huawei. The company claims to be the first to develop an advanced model entirely on Chinese infrastructure. Currently, Zhipu AI has not revealed the precise amount of Huawei hardware used to train the model. This means that Nvidia does not need to worry, for the moment. ## Implications If the news is confirmed, it would represent a significant step forward for the Chinese tech industry. Beijing has long aimed for greater technological autonomy, especially in the field of semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The use of domestic hardware to develop advanced AI models is a key strategic objective. This development could also accelerate competition in the artificial intelligence sector, with China seeking to close the gap with the United States and other leading countries.
