In 2026, Huawei accelerated its chip and computing power efforts, introducing the "Tao's Law" in May and the Atlas 950 Supernode in July. The "Tao's Law" derives from Huawei's methodology for designing and mass-producing 381 chips from 2020 to 2026, and underpins the mass-produced Ascend 950 and upcoming Kirin 2026 chip. In 2016, Ren Zhengfei emphasized concentrating superior resources for saturation attacks. In 2017, He Tingbo and others proposed making a dedicated AI chip to Xu Zhijun, leading to its development after internal debates. The path proved difficult following the "May 16" ban in 2019 and the full blockade on August 17, 2020, which included TSMC cutting off supply and EDA tool restrictions. During the 2025 Spring Festival, DeepSeek's explosion made Ren Zhengfei feel Chinese enterprises could achieve genuine software and hardware coordination. Huawei's Yungui'an Data Center activated 1024 Ascend 910B chips on New Year's Eve and deployed more than 3000 chips within three days. The DeepSeek V4 technical report lists both NVIDIA GPU and Huawei Ascend NPU. Liang Wenfeng decided to take Ascend as a computing power base. These details are recorded in the book "The Rise of Ascend," published August 2026.
