KNOWLEDGE ATLAS rebounded nearly 14% after releasing a multimodal model fully trained using domestic chips

According to domestic media reports, the newly listed company KNOWLEDGE ATLAS (02513.HK) today (14th) launched a new multimodal model, claiming to be the first model in China fully trained using domestically produced chips. This progress indicates a breakthrough for Beijing in its goal of reducing dependence on American technology.

KNOWLEDGE ATLAS stated that its open-source image generation model "GLM-Image" is the first top-tier multimodal model trained based on Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.'s Ascend chips. KNOWLEDGE ATLAS pointed out that its model was developed using Huawei's Ascend Atlas 800T A2 server and the MindSpore framework. This server is equipped with Huawei's Kunpeng processor and Ascend AI chips.

KNOWLEDGE ATLAS claims this demonstrates the feasibility of training high-performance multimodal generative models on a fully domestic computing platform.

The announcement from KNOWLEDGE ATLAS is a significant milestone for Huawei, as no other major AI company in China has publicly claimed to have successfully completed model training using domestically produced chips. In May last year, Huawei stated that its "Pangu Pro MoE model" had been trained on Ascend chips.

After being placed on the U.S. Entity List last year, KNOWLEDGE ATLAS has intensified its efforts to collaborate with domestic chip manufacturers such as Cambricon (688256.SH) to adopt and develop models.

KNOWLEDGE ATLAS reversed its decline from the previous day, opening 7.1% higher this morning and later expanding its gains, rising by 22.4% to a high of HKD 222.6. It is currently reported at HKD 207, up 13.86%, with a trading volume of 3.7507 million shares, involving HKD 780 million
