Chinese cloud provider UCloud has brought servers equipped with Hygon’s Tianxi series AI accelerators to its public-cloud platform. The deployment is reportedly the first large-scale public-cloud rollout of the chip series.
The move gives cloud customers access to domestically developed computing hardware for AI-related workloads. UCloud and Hygon have not disclosed the initial deployment scale or the specific services supported. [Yicai, in Chinese]
