Make the portfolio adaptive to all scenarios,
both standalone and co - operative
scenarios between cloud, edge, and device.
Develop an open ecosystem and talent:
Collaborate widely with global academia,
industries, and partners.
Strengthen our existing portfolio: Bring an AI
mindset and techniques into existing products
and solutions to create greater value and enhance
competitive strengths.
Drive operational efficiency at Huawei: Apply AI
to massive volumes of routine business activities
for better efficiency and quality.

Huawei’s full-stack, all-scenario AI
portfolio
By “all-scenario”, we mean different deployment
scenarios for AI, including public clouds, private
clouds, edge computing in all forms, industrial IoT
devices, and consumer devices.
“Full stack” is about the functionality of our
technology. Our full-stack portfolio includes
chips, chip enablement, a training and inference
framework, and application enablement.
Specifically, our full-stack portfolio includes the
following:
● ●
Ascend: An AI IP and chip series based on a
unified, scalable architecture. In this series,
we have Ascend Max, Mini, Lite, Tiny, and
Nano. Ascend 910 has the World’s greatest
computing density in a single chip. Ascend
310 is the most efficient AI system-on-chip
(SoC) for low-power computing.
● ●
CANN (Compute Architecture for Neural
Networks): A chip operator’s library and
highly automated operator’s development
toolkit
● ●
MindSpore: A unified training and inference
framework for device, edge, and cloud (both
standalone and co-operative)
● ●
Application enablement: Full-pipeline
services (ModelArts), hierarchical APIs, and
pre-integrated solutions
In September 2017, we released Huawei Cloud
EI, an AI service platform for enterprises and
Governments.
In April 2018, Huawei announced HiAI, our AI
engine for smart devices.
Our full-stack, all-scenario AI portfolio is
designed to provide powerful support for Huawei
Cloud EI and HiAI.
Backed by our AI portfolio, Huawei Cloud EI
will be able to deliver a full-stack portfolio for
enterprise and Government customers, and HiAI
will provide a full-stack portfolio for smart devices.
HiAI services are deployed on Huawei Cloud EI.
● ●
To sum up, our AI strategy is to invest in
basic research and talent development,
build a full-stack, all-scenario AI portfolio,
and foster an open global ecosystem.
● ●
Within Huawei, we will continue to explore
to improve management and efficiency with
AI.
● ●
In the telecom sector, we aim to adopt
SoftCOM AI to make network O&M more
efficient.
● ●
In the consumer market, HiAI will infuse
intelligence into consumer devices, making
them smarter than ever.
● ●
Huawei Cloud EI public cloud services
and FusionMind private cloud solutions
will provide abundant and affordable
computing power for all organisations -
especially businesses and Governments -
and help them use AI with greater ease.
● ●
Our portfolio will also include AI acceleration
cards, AI servers, AI appliances, and many
other products.
“All-scenario” means that Huawei is able to
deliver pervasive intelligence for a fully connected,
intelligent world.
“Full stack” means that Huawei is able to
provide AI application developers with unparalleled
computing power and a strong application
development platform. We are working towards
making AI more inclusive - making it affordable,
effective, and reliable for all. And we have what it
takes to make that happen.
I hope we can all work together to turn AI into a
practical reality, making it inclusive and available
for all. Huawei is committed to working closely with
our customers, partners, and academia to grow
together, promote pervasive AI, and ultimately
build a fully connected, intelligent world.
