Alibaba Unveils Zhenwu V900 AI Chip, Claiming Threefold Gain Over M890

Alibaba unveiled the Zhenwu V900, a new training-and-inference AI accelerator from its T-Head chip unit, saying the chip delivers three times the performance of the Zhenwu M890 and is China’s most powerful AI chip. The announcement at the company’s annual Apsara Conference in Hangzhou places Alibaba deeper into the race to build domestic AI computing infrastructure as Chinese cloud and model companies seek alternatives to restricted foreign accelerators.
