Chinese tech giant Huawei has unveiled its self-developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that runs on AI-powered processors. Huawei hopes its latest intervention will provide much-needed computing power capacity in China’s tech firmament. China continues to play catch up with the leading lights in AI technology in the US amidst current sanctions and restrictions.

The new Huawei intervention hopes to rival current ChatGPT services. Huawei unveiled the Pangu AI model version 3.0 during the Cloud Developer Conference on July 7 in Dongguan City, China. The Pangu AI model is aimed at industrial applications across a wide field including mines, finance, government, and production. Huawei aims to provide services that help its clients to build and train their own AI models.

The heart of the Pangu 3.0 is the Ascend AI processors and MindSpore AI framework. Huawei says the computing power in China can hardly keep up with the increasing demand for such services. Therefore many companies are expending substantial resources to get Nvidia graphics processing units.

Huawei says it 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 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.
