Huawei launches its own AI computing framework

Huawei Technologies Co officially launched its own computing framework for artificial intelligence on Friday, as the Chinese tech giant aims to develop an alternative to Google's TensorFlow platform given US government restrictions.

Google's TensorFlow is widely used by Chinese software developers to build AI applications.

The company also announced the commercialization of Ascend 910, an AI chip Huawei called the world's most powerful AI processor which can outperform the US tech giant Nvidia Corp's rival products.
