The future is beyond imagination
Meng Wanzhou said that currently, human society is accelerating towards a smart world, data is growing explosively, and smart technology is also advancing by leaps and bounds. Various models and algorithms based on powerful computing power are constantly emerging, application scenarios are becoming increasingly rich, and the "vector effect" of innovation is becoming more prominent.

"From agricultural society to industrial society to the information society, people have never stopped imagining the future world. Wherever imagination touches, technology turns stone into gold. Technology is like a horizon. Every time it increases, the picture of human civilization is changed. Every breakthrough in technology creates new application scenarios and extends the radius of activity, allowing us to see again and again the infinite possibilities of technology creating the future." Meng Wanzhou said.
Meng Wanzhou said that in the past 30 years and more, amid the wave of informatization and digitalization, Huawei has never stopped imagining the future world, let alone working hard in the real world. Seize the main trends amid uncertainty, build product leadership based on the two-wheel drive of customer demand and technological innovation, and help industrial upgrading.
Huawei: From AllIP to AllCloud, it takes ten years to step up
Meng Wanzhou said that since 2003, CT and IT have met in network infrastructure technology. Huawei has proposed the AllIP strategy to promote various technical standards and protocols in the communications field, moving from seven countries and eight systems to unification. “Cars share the same track and books share the same text”, thus promoting ubiquitous connections. Huawei supports the stable operation of more than 1,500 networks in more than 170 countries and regions around the world, connecting more than one-third of the world's population.
In 2013, with the accelerated development of cloud computing technology, Huawei proposed the AllCloud strategy to accelerate the upgrade of digital transformation. Today, Huawei Cloud has become one of the fastest-growing mainstream cloud vendors in the world. Thanks to continuous R&D investment and recognition from global customers, Huawei has deployed 30 regions and 84 availability zones around the world, gathered 42,000 partners and 5 million developers around the world, and served 3 million customers around the world.
"The way to benefit is to keep pace with the times. The deeper you can look into history, the farther you can look into the future. Every leap in the industry adds a footnote of the times. From AllIP to AllCloud, we have stepped up every decade, and we have never stopped working hard." Meng Wanzhou said at the scene.
Huawei proposes comprehensive intelligence strategy
From AllIP to AllCloud, Meng Wanzhou officially announced at the conference that Huawei has proposed a comprehensive intelligence strategy to accelerate the intelligence of the industry.
Meng Wanzhou said that the goal of All Intelligence is to "accelerate the intelligent transformation of thousands of industries."
First, make all objects joinable.Not only physical entities, but also logical and virtual ones; not only digital equipment, but also traditional terminals and devices; not only data can be obtained, but also intentions can be obtained.
Secondly, make all applications modelable, and use the large model paradigm to quickly benefit everyone, every family, and every organization.
Third, make all decisions calculable.With the ubiquity of computing power, we will accelerate the omnipresence of intelligence, and let the potential of data be continuously released and superimposed in computing.
It is worth noting that Meng Wanzhou said: "Under the guidance of a comprehensive intelligence strategy, Huawei will continue to build a solid computing power base to enable hundreds of models and thousands of industries."
AI development is reaching an inflection point
Meng Wanzhou said that artificial intelligence neural network models with parameters exceeding 100 billion or even trillions are accelerating into thousands of industries, and AI development is also crossing an inflection point.
She further elaborated that from the era of small models to the era of large models, the practicality of AI technology has undergone a qualitative leap. In the past, different application scenarios required the development of different models. Now, large models absorb massive amounts of knowledge, and one model can adapt to multiple business scenarios, significantly lowering the threshold for AI development and application, shortening the cycle from technology to application, and enabling AI to move from workshop-style development and scenario-based customization to industrial development and scenario-based optimization, making it possible to solve industry problems on a large scale relying on large models.
Meng Wanzhou believes that in this process, through the opening of computing power base, AI platform, and development tools, Huawei supports the "letting of a hundred flowers" of large models in the intelligent era, and strives to be a good example of the "Hundred Gardens" of black soil.
"We support each organization to use its own data to train its own large model, allowing each industry to use its own professional knowledge to develop its own large industry model." Meng Wanzhou said that in the development of artificial intelligence, computing power is the core driving force. Large models require large computing power. The amount of computing power determines the speed of AI iteration and innovation, and also affects the speed of economic development. The scarcity and cost of computing power have become core factors restricting the development of AI.
"Huawei is committed to building China's solid computing power base and building a second choice for the world. We will continue to improve the integration capabilities of 'soft, hard, core, edge, and cloud', enrich the 'black soil', and meet the diverse AI computing power needs of all walks of life." Meng Wanzhou said that Huawei will give full play to With its comprehensive advantages in computing, storage, network, energy and other fields, it changes the traditional server stacking model and uses the innovative ideas of system architecture to build AI clusters to achieve integrated design of computing power, transportation capacity and storage capacity, break through computing power bottlenecks and provide sustainable surging computing power.
