Zhipu AI has launched GLM-Image, the first state-of-the-art multimodal model trained entirely on Huawei Ascend Atlas 800T A2 chips. Utilizing the MindSpore framework, this milestone proves China can execute high-compute training pipelines without restricted Nvidia silicon. With image generation costs at 0.014 dollars per call, domestic hardware has reached technical and economic viability. This signals a structural pivot toward a sovereign AI stack that decouples from Western supply chains. 🌐
