Inference workloads

Enterprises are strategically diversifying away from Nvidia in the AI accelerator market due to over-reliance vulnerabilities including pricing, supply chains, and geopolitical risks. Alternatives like Huawei offer negotiating leverage, mitigate vendor lock-in, and provide access to alternative supply chains, especially in regions with Nvidia restrictions. Huawei’s Ascend platform excels in inference workloads, offering potential cost and power efficiency. This transition involves a risk assessment, weighing diversification benefits against Nvidia’s established ecosystem. For some, this realignment is crucial for competitiveness and future-proofing AI initiatives.
