Tsinghua Team Open-Sources Chitu Inference Engine to Boost Domestic AI Ecosystem

Recently, Professor Zhai Jidong's team from the Institute of High Performance Computing at Tsinghua University, in collaboration with Tsinghua-affiliated innovative enterprise, Qingcheng Extreme Intelligence, announced the open-sourcing of Chitu, a groundbreaking large model inference engine. This innovative technology marks another significant breakthrough for China in the AI field, particularly in inference engine development. A core highlight of the Chitu engine is its ability to natively run FP8 precision models on non-Nvidia Hopper architecture GPUs and various domestic chips.
