Launch — HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Shanghai (keynote by David Wang)
Architecture — SuperPoD on NPO (Near-Package Optics), industry's first · Orthogonal architecture · Fully liquid-cooled
Supports — Foundation Models up to 10 trillion parameters
Scaling — Up to 4,096 NPUs per SuperPoD unit (via UnifiedBus)
Performance — 8 EFLOPS at FP8 precision · 16 EFLOPS at FP4
Hi-ONE optical engine — First mass-produced NPO · 7.2 Tbit/s data transfer · Built-in light source (industry first)
Power savings — 5,500 units of Hi-ONE replace what would normally require 48,000 units of 800G optical modules
