Huawei Cloud has announced a broad rollout of enterprise AI products and services designed to support the emerging agentic era, where AI agents autonomously perform complex tasks. At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 in Shanghai, Dr. Peter Zhou, Director of the Board at Huawei and CEO of Huawei Cloud, delivered a keynote titled "The Agentic Cloud for the Agentic World: Build Together, Grow Together," outlining the company's strategy to strengthen its cloud infrastructure and provide a foundation for agentic AI.
Central to the announcement is the global launch of the latest AI Cluster Service (AICS), which Huawei Cloud describes as a key step in reinforcing the silicon bedrock on the cloud. The AICS is built on a five-level fast recovery mechanism with full-chain observability, supporting over 40 days of stable training on cloud and capable of fault recovery within 10 minutes. It delivers 20% higher token throughput than the previous generation of compute service. The service will be commercially available in China on September 30 and in markets outside China on November 30. This infrastructure is part of Huawei Cloud's Agentic Infra paradigm, which focuses on efficient tokens, enhanced memory, unified general and AI scheduling, and secure autonomy. To date, Agentic Infra has served over 3,500 customers.
Huawei Cloud also highlighted its Agentic Model as a Service (MaaS) platform, which aggregates diverse models and allows developers to invoke state-of-the-art models from leading providers with just one click and no deployment required. At the event, MiniMax demonstrated its advanced multimodal model, which, combined with Huawei Cloud, delivers open, cutting-edge multimodal capabilities. This platform aims to accelerate model capabilities as services at scale.
For enterprises looking to develop and use agents, Huawei Cloud is advancing its enterprise-grade agent platform through both commercial and open-source approaches. Built on AgentArts and its open-source edition openJiuwen, the platform opens up more than 5,000 general Model Context Protocol (MCP) assets and over 1,000 industry-specific MCP assets. The platform has already served more than 100 customers, including the Shenzhen Longgang District Government, China Southern Power Grid, Guangzhou Laboratory, the University of Science and Technology of China, Kingsoft Office, Sichuan Yingu Carbon Sink Renewable Resources Co., Ltd., Changsha Thunder Cloud Network Technology Co., Ltd., and KingMed Diagnostics. Kingsoft Office shared its implementation practices, having built vertical office agents by integrating the agent platform with WPS 365 Document Center and WPS Comate, now deployed across finance and government sectors. AgentArts will be commercially available outside China on December 30. The openJiuwen open-source community has surpassed 50,000 stars and 3.29 million downloads. Huawei Cloud has also launched partner commercial editions with Chinasoft International, iSoftStone Group, and Beiming Software.
The Industry AI Foundry, which brings together industry scenarios, models, data, knowledge, and agents, has accumulated more than 1,000 industry assets and over 1,000 deployed projects. It includes five existing zones—Smart Healthcare, Embodied AI, AI for Science (AI4S), Smart Manufacturing, and Smart Finance—and now adds two new zones: Smart Government and AI Hardware. The Smart Government Zone has already brought together 24 founding partners, covering government office operations, public services, urban governance, and industry development. The AI Hardware Zone has onboarded 15 core partners, covering more than 20 device types, including AI glasses, AI toys, and AI recording cards, along with over 10 scenario templates and more than 110 scenario skills.
Additionally, the Context Memory Storage (CMS) solution addresses the memory capacity and access efficiency needs of long-horizon agent tasks. It provides a petabyte-scale memory space, twice the storage capacity of comparable industry products, and supports high-speed terabyte-scale memory reads with 50% higher performance than industry peers.
These announcements signal Huawei Cloud's commitment to building an open agentic cloud, with open infrastructure, an open platform, and an open industry ecosystem. For business and technology leaders, this means more accessible tools to develop and deploy AI agents, potentially accelerating digital transformation and operational efficiency across sectors. The global availability of these services outside China later this year could intensify competition in the cloud AI market and offer enterprises alternative solutions for agentic AI.
