<p style="text-align: justify;">Technical innovation has long been the focus of Huawei Cloud. As of now, Huawei Cloud has launched over 240 cloud services and 100,000 APIs. Huawei Cloud has been named in the Leaders quadrant in 10 product and solution dimensions, and ranked No. 1 in 20 market segments. At this summit, Huawei Cloud showcased its latest achievements and practices in cloud native, AI, big data, databases, digital content production, software development, and security governance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the only founding member of CNCF from Asia, Huawei Cloud continuously delivers cutting-edge cloud native services along with comprehensive products and solutions from Infrastructure as a Service, Technology as a Service, to Expertise as a Service.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Huawei Cloud released Pangu Models 3.0 this year. Sticking to its "AI for Industries" strategy, Huawei Cloud tailors its Pangu models for a wide range of industries, such as finance, manufacturing, mining, meteorology, and railway, empowering everyone from every industry with an intelligent assistant. In meteorology, the Pangu weather model is the first AI model to have surpassed state-of-the-art numerical weather prediction (NWP) methods. The prediction speed is also several orders of magnitude faster. In the past, predicting the trajectory of a typhoon for the next 10 days took 5 hours. Now, the Pangu weather model can do that in 10 just seconds. The Pangu weather model has been adopted by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), China Meteorological Administration, and Hong Kong Observatory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Huawei Cloud builds DataArts, a data governance pipeline to convert mass and complex disordered data into high-quality data for data-driven decision-making.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">GaussDB, a distributed cloud database that has revolutionized the way we build databases, has been widely applied not only within Huawei but also in sectors like banking, insurance, securities, and energy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">MetaStudio is Huawei Cloud's one-stop digital content production pipeline. Utilizing the Pangu virtual human model, MetaStudio redefines the productivity of virtual humans where a personalized virtual human can come to life from previously 9 person-days to just 3 minutes now.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Huawei Cloud combines software development pipeline CodeArts with the Pangu R&D model to build CodeArts Snap, an intelligent programming assistant for developers. With CodeArts Snap, developers can benefit from smarter generation, Q&A, and collaboration.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In terms of security, Huawei Cloud offers SecMaster and a well-rounded security defense system to help Chilean enterprises with systematic construction and constant operations.</p>
