Peter Zhou’s Keynote: Collaborating for Success
Dr. Peter Zhou, the head honcho at Huawei and leader of Huawei Cloud, took the stage at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 delivering an electrifying keynote titled, “The Agentic Cloud for the Agentic World: Build Together, Grow Together.” It’s hard to believe it’s real. This guy is all set to launch the latest AI Cluster Service (AICS) on a global scale—working to reinforce the silicon foundation in the cloud and enhance the agentic AI base. It’s tech talk, but it counts, right?
The Agent Model as a Service Platform
Huawei reveals insights on the Agentic Model as a Service (MaaS) platform. Think of it as AI supercharged: numerous models and services galore. The AgentArts enterprise-grade agent platform has already gained traction with more than 100 companies. The Industry AI Foundry showcases over 1,000 assets. Now, it’s introduced two new sectors—Smart Government and AI Hardware—setting its sights on global influence. Together, these initiatives bolster a formidable AI ecosystem.
Agentic Infra: The Foundation of AI
Dr. Zhou boasts about Agentic Infra—envision infrastructure on overdrive, not simply providing compute power. It’s about enhancing token efficiency, combining AI with compute, and enabling models to learn quicker while ensuring maximum security. With more than 3,500 clients testing it out, they must know what they’re doing. The new AICS features a five-tier rapid recovery system and comprehensive observability. It’s like having a tech genius in your hand.
Accelerating with Context Memory Storage
CMS offers the answer for lengthy agent tasks that require extensive memory. This system boasts petabyte-level memory capacity and claims to outperform the competition by 50%. For developers, Agentic MaaS integrates advanced models, simplifying the use of state-of-the-art (SOTA) technologies effortlessly. During the event, MiniMax showcased exceptional multimodal model capabilities, thanks to Huawei Cloud’s impressive toolkit.
Enterprise-Grade Agent Platform: Tailored for Major Players
Huawei Cloud adopts a dual strategy for its enterprise-grade agent platform—commercial and open-source. Utilizing AgentArts and openJiuwen, the platform provides over 5,000 general assets and upwards of 1,000 industry-specific resources. It’s the ideal toolkit for businesses to create, utilize, and manage agents like experts. With more than 100 clients already onboard, they seem to have a winning formula.
Kingsoft Office’s Triumph
Kingsoft Office proudly shares their success tale. By integrating their WPS 365 Document Center and WPS Comate with Huawei Cloud’s agent platform, they’ve developed specialized office agents for sectors such as finance and government. AgentArts is on track for a global launch by December 30. On the open-source front, the openJiuwen community is thriving with over 50,000 stars and 3.29 million downloads. Don’t miss out.
Empowering the Industry AI Foundry
Through the Industry AI Foundry, Huawei Cloud is revolutionizing the game—taking industry scenarios, models, data, and agents to create reusable industry assets. They’ve established five industry-specific zones, now including two new ones: the Smart Government Zone and AI Hardware Zone. From government office functions to AI gadgets and beyond, this is about AI leading the charge.
Dedication to the Agentic Age
Huawei Cloud is advocating for an agentic cloud—an open infrastructure for AI, an open platform for enterprises on the rise, and an open industry ecosystem preparing for large-scale AI implementation. “Building and growing together” is the mantra they’re touting, and they’re taking customers and partners along for the journey.
Conclusion: Embracing the Excitement at Huawei Cloud
Huawei CONNECT 2026 is set to thoroughly explore AI strategy, technology, and ecosystems. Engaging with the latest advancements in infrastructure, industry-specific solutions, and development resources. It all takes place from September 17 to 19 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center and Shanghai Expo Center. For further details, check out: www.huawei.com/en/events/huaweiconnect
