Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei acknowledges that his company's AI chip technology lags behind the US by a generation, contradicting previous perceptions of its advancements.
Despite this, he suggests that by clustering Huawei's chips, they can compete with leading global players in AI hardware.
He also assures there is no need to worry about the impact of US restrictions on the company.
It may seem like odd messaging from a tech chief. But Huawei Technologies Co. founder Ren Zhengfei said that Americans have “exaggerated” his company’s chip achievements, which “still lag behind the US by a generation.”
When it comes to the race for the hardware needed to support artificial intelligence, his company “isn’t that powerful yet,” Ren added in a lengthy front-page interview with the People’s Daily this week. Still, there is “no need to worry” about the US restrictions, he insisted. By bundling Huawei’s chips together, or so-called clustering, they can still match rival offerings from top global players.
