According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, utilizing domestically produced Ascend chips to train large models has become a key direction for building autonomous and controllable AI computing power in the evolution of large-scale MoE architectures. However, mainstream large model frameworks are primarily developed based on NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem, and directly porting them to the Ascend platform often faces challenges such as uneven hardware queue scheduling and low computing power utilization. USTC, Huawei, and Peking University have jointly launched the compilation scheduling framework HyperParallel-MoE, which aims to break through the energy efficiency bottleneck of heterogeneous computing power in parallel scheduling by performing tile-level control tailored to the unique hardware queues of the Ascend A3. The Ascend A3 features two types of cores: AIC for matrix multiplication and AIV for vector computation and communication. However, under traditional operator serial scheduling, the two types of cores can only work alternately, leading to idle time. Actual test data shows that when running a 671B DeepSeek-style large model on a 256-node cluster, the utilization of AIC was only 67%, with 39% of expert routing communication delays exposed in critical computation paths. The core modifications of HyperParallel-MoE include three aspects. First, a single-sided write primitive driven by AIV was designed to trigger computation as soon as data tiles arrive, eliminating the need to wait for the entire batch. Second, a dependency-aware tile task generation was introduced to unify communication and computation operators. Third, a static scheduler pre-generates task sequences to drive the two types of cores in parallel within a single kernel, utilizing high-speed L2 cache to share intermediate results and reduce delays from writing back and reading from slower HBM memory. Testing shows that under a balanced routing of 64 nodes, the delay of the core module responsible for expert computation (MoE-FFN) was reduced by approximately 36%, corresponding to a maximum data processing speed increase of 58% (speeding up from 1.49 to 1.58 times). In end-to-end operation of the entire machine, the single-step training speed also increased by 8% to 9%. This indicates that the actual energy efficiency of Ascend depends not only on hardware specifications but also on whether the compiler and runtime can efficiently schedule the AIC/AIV cores.

On May 25, BlackRock stated that under the leadership of new Fed Chair Waller, there may be sufficient reasons to support a rate cut rather than a rate hike. Navin Saigal, head of BlackRock's Global Fixed Income business in Asia-Pacific, responded to questions about the likelihood of rate hikes during Waller's tenure, saying, "If I had to choose between a rate hike and a rate cut, I believe there are actually sufficient factors to support a rate cut." He added, "Looking ahead, the labor market will face some pressure, which may indicate that the Fed will either hold steady or cut rates." Saigal's comments contrast with the general expectations of bond investors, who are betting that Waller will prioritize maintaining the Fed's credibility in fighting inflation over accommodating President Trump's calls for lower interest rates. Current pricing shows that the market is almost certain the Fed will raise rates before December.

On May 25, Trump publicly praised Micron at a large rally in Suffern, New York on May 22, stating, "Big company Micron, boy, Micron is great." According to market fund flow tracking account Capital Flow, on the afternoon of May 22, several traders concentrated on buying deep out-of-the-money (OTM) call options for Micron, with strike prices ranging from $750 to $1400, and expiration dates focused on January 15, 2027 (237 days to expiration) and July 17, 2026 (55 days to expiration). On that day, there were at least nine large call option buy orders between noon and afternoon, with seven of them concentrated between 1:19 PM and 1:53 PM. The most aggressive order was for a contract with a strike price of $1400 expiring in January 2027, with a premium of $1.4136 million. For this trade to be profitable, Micron would need to rise nearly 90% from around $745 within less than eight months. This is not the first time Trump has engaged in similar actions; in March, documents revealed that Trump purchased between $25,000 and $50,000 worth of Micron stock on March 25, and the next day he praised Micron on Fox News. Subsequently, the Trump Organization explained that Trump's account is managed by a third-party financial institution, and he does not participate in specific investment decisions.
