Chinese tech giant Huawei has unveiled its self-developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that runs on AI-powered processors
Huawei has unveiled a new AI model, Pangu 3.0, which is aimed at industrial applications across a wide field including mines, finance, government, and production. The company hopes that the model will help to provide much-needed computing power capacity in China’s tech firmament, as the country continues to play catch up with the leading lights in AI technology in the US.
The heart of the Pangu 3.0 is the Ascend AI processors and MindSpore AI framework. Huawei says that the computing power in China can hardly keep up with the increasing demand for such services, and that many companies are expending substantial resources to get Nvidia graphics processing units. Huawei hopes to offer an alternative to the Nvidia graphics option which will also cut significantly the lead times.
The company also insists that the Pangu AI model is not a ChatGPT competitor and that the solution focuses on enterprise clients. The Huawei announcement is a great relief for China, as companies continue to grapple with a tough US sanction regime and restrictions.
Many exhibitors during the cloud developer conference showcased LLM-powered applications with commercial applications in a wide array of fields. More optics of the new Huawei AI model are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
