Huawei Cloud has officially launched its Model as a Service (MaaS) platform in Thailand and showcased its full-stack AI capabilities at the Huawei Cloud Thailand AI Boost Day 2026 in Bangkok. The launch introduces Agentic AI, a paradigm shift from passive response systems to intelligent agents capable of autonomous planning and complex task execution. The MaaS platform, built on Huawei's proprietary acceleration engine, addresses enterprise needs in large language models, coding and multimodal applications, supporting the recently introduced GLM-5 model. Huawei Cloud's comprehensive AI ecosystem includes CloudMatrix AI infrastructure, ModelArts development platform, CodeArts for code generation, and AgentArts for agent development. CodeArts and AgentArts are expected to launch in overseas markets in the second half of this year, strengthening Huawei Cloud's position in Thailand's AI-driven transformation.

Shenzhen has launched China's first 10,000-card AI computing cluster using Huawei's Ascend 910C chips, delivering 11,000 petaflops of computing power. Combined with a 3,000-petaflop phase from last year, the facility now reaches 14,000 petaflops, with a 92% booking rate across nearly 50 organisations. The city aims to exceed 80,000 petaflops of real-time AI computing capacity by 2026. Shenzhen supports adoption through a 4.5 billion yuan ($630 million) incentive programme offering vouchers covering up to 60% of computing costs. Huawei's Ascend 910C chips, manufactured by SMIC using 7nm-class technology, achieve approximately 60% of Nvidia H100 inference performance but remain less competitive for AI training tasks.

Huawei reported 2.2% revenue growth to CNY 880.9 billion ($127.5 billion) for 2025, as gains in core business units offset weakness in cloud. The consumer division rose 1.6% to CNY 344.5 billion, whilst ICT infrastructure grew 2.6% to CNY 375 billion. Cloud revenue declined 3.5%, contrasting with the intelligent automotive solutions unit's 72.1% surge to CNY 45 billion. Net profit climbed 8.6% to CNY 68 billion, outpacing revenue growth as Huawei benefits from higher-margin products and overseas expansion. Asia Pacific revenue outside China jumped 15.7%, whilst EMEA grew 8.8%. R&D spending reached 21.8% of revenue as Huawei pursues technology independence following US sanctions. Chairwoman Meng Wanzhou cautioned about future uncertainty.
