Huawei Pangu Model 3.0, Launch, Availability
Huawei has unveiled its own AI tech at Cloud Developer Conference. The Chinese tech giant is known for its dominance in telecommunications, computing, IoT, and smartphone technology across the world. More about Huawei Pangu Model 3.0 AI tech in this article.
HUAWEI Pangu Model 3.0 AI Overview:
Huawei unveiled the Pangu Model 3.0 at the Cloud Developer Conference on July 7 in Dongguan City, China. It is a pre-trained AI model from Huawei. Well, this is not the first time, the Pangu model was introduced back in 2021 after USA’s ban on Huawei.
This AI model is completely based on the company’s own hardware and platform due to US restrictions. The ban hinders Huawei from using American chips and GPUs, unlike the other AI companies. For reference, Open AI’s ChatGPT is backed up by NVIDIA’s powerful GPUs.
Zhang Ping’an, Huawei’s executive director and CEO of Huawei Cloud Computing Technologies, said “Our AI platform … can offer solid infrastructure … as its computing power can reach 1.1 times that of mainstream GPUs.’ “If you can’t buy the mainstream GPUs, you can now use Huawei’s Ascend-powered AI cloud services, which will free you from the suffering of high-priced GPUs”, he further added.
What does it do?
The AI model’s pre-trained system can leverage large-scale data sets and machine learning algorithms. It allows the AI model to be used in multiple areas such as weather forecasting, finding faults in machinery and vehicles, and also in the mining industry.

A well-reputed science journal Nature recently praised Hauwei’s Pangu Weather AI Model team for developing a precise and accurate AI weather forecasting system. Hauwei used 43 years of deep learning data for this model.
Who exactly is the Pangu Model for?
Huawei says the Pangu Model is mainly focused on enterprise clients, rather than individual clients. So, the model might not be a major threat for ChatGPT which mainly relies on individual users. More insights will arrive in the coming weeks.
China in the AI Race
Amidst the US restrictions, Chinese tech companies are accelerating to roll out their own AI tech. Top companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu alongside more than 30 Chinese firms are joining the AI race.
Since the inception of the Pangu Model in 2021, Huawei Cloud has been active in more than a thousand AI-related projects, covering railways, minings, drug development to meteorology. It witnessed a 19% growth in 2022 while Alibaba Cloud still retains the top spot.
