Pangu Ultra: Pushing the Limits of Dense Large Language Models on Ascend NPUs

Paper · 2025 · Yichun Yin, Wenyong Huang, Kaikai Song et al.

Summary

Pangu Ultra is Huawei's effort to show that a very deep dense Transformer, trained entirely on Ascend NPUs instead of GPUs, can compete with much larger sparse MoE systems. The 135B-parameter, 94-layer model follows a Llama 3-like design. It targets the loss spikes common in deep networks with two stability techniques. The first is depth-scaled sandwich normalization (DSSN), which normalizes both the input and the output of every attention and FFN block. Its output-norm gains start at values that shrink with the square root of depth. The second is TinyInit, a weight initialization whose variance decreases with both model width and depth. Pre-training used 13.2 trillion tokens in three phases that moved from general knowledge toward reasoning. The context window grew from 4K to 128K, and SFT and RL followed. Systems engineering on an 8,192-NPU cluster raised MFU above 50%. The authors report that Pangu Ultra outperforms Llama 405B and Mistral Large 2 on most benchmarks and rivals DeepSeek-R1. This suggests that both dense scaling and non-NVIDIA hardware remain viable paths.

Key points

  • Architecture: 135B parameters, 94 layers, hidden size 12,288, SwiGLU FFN size 28,672, and GQA with 96 query and 8 KV heads. A domain-aware tokenizer merges separately built vocabularies into 153,376 tokens.
  • Stability:
    • DSSN initializes the post-norm gamma as c/√L, with c_attn = 0.283 and c_mlp = 0.432.
    • TinyInit uses std = √(1/(2dL)), and embeddings are initialized with std 0.5.
    • In ablations, DSSN removed loss spikes seen with Pre-LN and plain sandwich-norm.
  • Ablation numbers:
    • At 300B tokens on a 13B proxy model, DSSN improved LAMBADA from 0.675 to 0.693 over Pre-LN.
    • At 102B tokens, TinyInit raised MMLU from 0.473 to 0.502 and C-Eval from 0.476 to 0.524.
  • Systems: Training combined DP, TP, sequence, and pipeline parallelism. Virtual pipeline scheduling reduced the pipeline bubble from 30.45% to 6.8%. A custom NPU Fusion Attention operator avoids building explicit attention masks.
  • Availability: The model is offered only to Huawei's commercial customers, not as open weights.
