Huawei Cloud unveiled a suite of new enterprise AI products at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 in Shanghai, including the global launch of its latest AI Cluster Service (AICS), an expansion of its Industry AI Foundry, and the commercial availability of its AgentArts platform outside China. The announcements signal the company's push to build what it calls an "open agentic cloud" to support the next wave of AI adoption.
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," where he outlined the company's strategy to strengthen what it describes as the silicon bedrock on the cloud and reinforce the foundation for agentic AI. He introduced Agentic Infra, a new paradigm focused on efficient tokens, enhanced memory, unified general and AI scheduling, and secure autonomy. According to the company, Agentic Infra has already served over 3,500 customers.
The latest AICS is built on a five-level fast recovery mechanism with full-chain observability, supporting over 40 days of stable training on cloud and fault recovery within 10 minutes. It delivers 20% higher token throughput than the previous generation, the company said. The service will be commercially available in China on September 30 and in markets outside China on November 30.
Huawei Cloud also highlighted its Context Memory Storage (CMS) solution, which provides 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. The Agentic Model as a Service (MaaS) platform was introduced to bring together diverse models, enabling developers to invoke state-of-the-art models from leading providers with one click and no deployment required.
The company's enterprise-grade agent platform, built on AgentArts and its open-source edition openJiuwen, opens up more than 5,000 general Model Context Protocol (MCP) assets and over 1,000 industry-specific MCP assets. It has served more than 100 customers, including the Shenzhen Longgang District Government, China Southern Power Grid, and Kingsoft Office. AgentArts will be commercially available outside China on December 30. The openJiuwen community has surpassed 50,000 stars and 3.29 million downloads.
Huawei Cloud's Industry AI Foundry, which aggregates industry scenarios, models, data, knowledge, and agents, now includes two new zones: Smart Government and AI Hardware. The Smart Government Zone has 24 founding partners, while the AI Hardware Zone has onboarded 15 core partners covering more than 20 device types. The foundry has accumulated over 1,000 industry assets and deployed more than 1,000 projects.
For businesses, these developments could lower barriers to AI adoption by providing ready-to-use models, tools, and industry-specific assets. The global availability of AICS and AgentArts may also intensify competition in the cloud AI market, potentially accelerating innovation and reducing costs.
