It’s a dynamic environment where we can share our vision, exchange ideas, and gain valuable insights into the evolving needs of businesses and industries.”
Reshaping AI for Industries
Foundation models and related applications are the most complex hardware and software system engineering, which requires systematic innovation. Roy Luo, vice president of Consulting and Solution of Huawei Cloud Middle East & Central Asia, said: “Huawei Cloud is committed to reshaping AI for Industries and bringing the most advanced cloud and AI technologies to the Middle East and Central Asia. Huawei Cloud focuses on systematic innovation. At the system architecture layer, the distributed QingTian architecture breaks the boundaries of computing, storage, and network, the traditional primary/secondary architecture is upgraded to the peer-to-peer architecture, greatly improving AI computing power. At the data processing layer, Huawei Cloud provides one-stop technologies for the entire cloud process, including data storage, analysis, sharing, and labeling, enabling enterprises to find, store, remember, and use foundation model data. We are committed to empowering enterprises from different industries in the region to build their own large models”.
Integral part
Ushering into the AI era, AI is transforming how we live, work, and interact. Dr. Zhu Shenggao, vice president of AI Business at Huawei Cloud Middle East & Central Asia, stated: “AI has become an integral part of our society, permeating every aspect of our lives. Its adoption in industries is undergoing a rapid transformation. This remarkable shift is being driven by the emergence of large AI models meticulously trained on massive datasets. It is not just a technological advancement, but a fundamental shift that will shape the future of industries, and Huawei Cloud is at the forefront of enabling this transformation.
Meticulous design
Huawei Cloud’s Pangu models are meticulously designed to address the practical requirements of specific industry scenarios. The latest release, Pangu Models 3.0, introduces a 5+N+X three-layer decoupled hierarchical architecture. This architecture comprises five L0 foundation models, N industry-tailored models at the L1 layer, and X AI applications at the L2 layer. Together, they establish a robust foundation for a wide array of models and applications. The L0 layer of foundation models encompasses NLP, CV, multimodal, prediction, and scientific computing, providing versatile capabilities to fuel a multitude of industry-specific applications.
50 billion tokens
With over 1,000 AI projects, Huawei Cloud is steadfast in its commitment to the “AI for Industries” strategy. Pangu models have been meticulously pre-trained using open datasets from over 10 industries, such as Finance, Government, Meteorology, Healthcare, Education, Automotive, and Utilities. The data volume for each industry surpasses 50 billion tokens. On October 18, Dr. Zhu will be a part of the AI Everything keynote, delving into the acceleration of AI for industries through Pangu Large Models.
Huawei Cloud Stack 8.3.0
