China Telecom built its own AI models with home-grown hardware
China Telecom’s AI unit, TeleAI, has introduced TeleChat3, a new series of large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models trained entirely on Chinese-made hardware.
The models run on Huawei’s Ascend 910B AI chips and use the open-source MindSpore framework. According to the company, training relied only on this domestic hardware stack, which it presents as proof that it can build competitive AI systems without foreign semiconductors or software. The move fits into China’s broader push to localize critical technology under export controls and supply-chain pressure.
