MindSDK

MindSDK delivers various AI software development kits (SDKs) accelerated by Ascend AI Processors and provides simplified APIs to accelerate the development of high-performance AI applications for thousands of industries.

Key Features of MindSDK 26.1.0

The key updates in this MindSDK version are as follows:

  • Rec SDK: The training framework and generative recommendation operators are adapted to Ascend 950 products. The torch_rec_v2 module introduces new features such as dynamic table eviction policies and on-chip memory and DDR cache.
  • Index SDK: Supports filtering of temporal and spatial attributes of TS FlatIP and Int8Cos in A2/A3 scenarios, supports the IVF-RabitQ algorithm, and introduces new APIs such as train and remove_ids.
  • RAG SDK: Accelerates BGE embedding and reranker models, with a focus on optimizing the performance of bge-reranker-v2-m3 and bge-m3.
  • Multimodal SDK: Adds examples for key frame filtering, automatic optimization, and multi-scale resampling, as well as the reference design for SCC visual token compression.
  • Agent SDK: Aura provides an end-to-end Agentic reinforcement learning training framework, compatible with multiple models ranging from qwen3-4b to qwen3-32b.
  • Driving SDK: All operators and mainstream autonomous driving/VLA models are fully supported by Ascend 950 products, and new models such as GR00T-N1.6 are added.
