On January 29th, news emerged that Alibaba's T-Head had recently officially unveiled its high - end AI chip, the 'Zhenwu 810E', on its official website. This innovative chip has already been put into use in multiple clusters comprising tens of thousands of cards on Alibaba Cloud. It is now successfully catering to the needs of over 400 clients, among which are prominent names like State Grid and XPENG Motors.

It's reported that the 'Zhenwu 810E' leverages Alibaba's self - developed ICN (Inter - Chip Network) interconnection technology. This technology endows the chip with remarkable features, including high performance, ample bandwidth, and minimal latency. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for large - scale model training and inference tasks.

Each 'Zhenwu 810E' chip comes with seven ICN interconnection ports. When combined with T-Head's self - developed interconnection acceleration library, it facilitates highly efficient multi - card collaboration. This combination ensures that the chip can fully meet the stringent demands of large - scale model training and inference operations.
