SLAI T-Rex: Full-parameter post-training of DeepSeek-V4 family on Ascend NPU SuperPOD achieves 34% MFU
Researchers present SLAI T-Rex, an end-to-end optimization framework for full-parameter post-training of trillion-parameter MoE models on Huawei Ascend NPU SuperPOD infrastructure, using the DeepSeek-V4 model family as the target workload. The system achieves 34.22% Model FLOPs Utilization, a 2.93x improvement over the open-source baseline, through hierarchical optimizations spanning model parallelism, communication orchestration, and kernel execution. Building on this infrastructure, the team develops a domain-specialized CPT and SFT pipeline for Operations Research tasks using DeepSeek-V4-Flash, producing a model that achieves 71.81% zero-shot Pass@1 on OR benchmarks, outperforming GPT-5.4-Mini by ~4 percentage points. The work is notable both as a non-GPU large-scale training system report and as a demonstration of domain specialization for complex mathematical reasoning.
The Batch Issue 345: Iranian Drone Attacks on AWS Data Centers, Qwen3.5, DeepSeek-Huawei, and AI Job Insecurity
Andrew Ng's weekly newsletter covers several significant AI-adjacent developments: Iranian drones struck at least three Amazon Web Services data centers in Bahrain and the UAE, disrupting cloud services and raising concerns given U.S. military use of AWS to run Anthropic Claude; the issue also previews Qwen3.5 model releases across multiple sizes and DeepSeek's reported moves involving Huawei hardware. Ng also addresses widespread job insecurity across skill levels amid rapid AI advancement, citing geopolitical risks including the Iran war, Taiwan uncertainty, and rare-earth metal supply chains as compounding factors.
DeepSeek withholds DeepSeek-V4 pre-release access from Nvidia and AMD, shares with Huawei
DeepSeek has given Huawei several weeks of pre-release access to its upcoming DeepSeek-V4 model for hardware optimization, while denying the same access to Nvidia and AMD — a departure from prior practice. Reuters also reported that an unnamed Trump administration official claims DeepSeek-V4 was trained on Nvidia's most advanced chips despite U.S. export controls, though the sourcing is unverified. The move signals deepening geopolitical fragmentation in AI supply chains and aligns with China's push for domestic chip self-sufficiency. DeepSeek-V4 has not yet been publicly released.
Import AI 444: LLM Societies, Huawei AI Kernel Development, ChipBench
Import AI issue 444 covers multiple AI/ML topics including LLM-based societies (multi-agent simulation research), Huawei's use of AI for kernel development, and ChipBench, a benchmark for evaluating AI on chip design tasks. The newsletter also touches on quantifying creativity as a research question. As a tier-2 commentary digest, it aggregates several distinct technical threads rather than reporting a single primary development.
China's Regulators Block Meta's Acquisition of Manus, an Agentic Startup Headquartered in Singapore
China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) blocked Meta's proposed $2.5 billion acquisition of Manus, a Singapore-based AI agent startup originally founded in China by Butterfly Effect. The NDRC cited concerns over data transfers and foreign ownership of technology developed by Chinese engineers, asserting jurisdiction despite Manus having relocated to Singapore. The ruling has effectively killed the 'Singapore strategy' used by Chinese AI startups to attract Western capital, causing founders and investors to cancel plans to move abroad or pursue foreign partnerships. The episode marks a significant escalation in China's assertion of control over strategically important AI technology regardless of corporate domicile.
