Huawei has delivered on the artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for developers that it announced at HUAWEI CONNECT 2018*. This year, at HDC.Cloud, Huawei's developer conference for cloud, Huawei talked about the progress it has made towards its goal.

Full-stack, all-scenario solutions that have been introduced at the late March web event, enabling easier AI application development and contributing to a robust global AI ecosystem.

One key announcement is that of Huawei's MindSpore, an all-scenario artificial intelligence (AI) computing framework, going open source. Professor Chen Lei, Chief Scientist at Huawei MindSpore and an IEEE Fellow, said that MindSpore would go open source on Gitee.

MindSpore has focused on lowering entry barriers for AI developers, with Professor Chen noting: "MindSpore natively adapts to all scenarios across the device, edge, and cloud.

"We implement AI algorithms as code through on-demand collaboration for easier model development, and provide cutting-edge technologies, and co-optimisation with Huawei Ascend AI processors to improve runtime efficiency and computing performance. We also support other processors such as GPUs and CPUs."

Huawei also shared that ModelArts Pro, an AI app development suite for enterprises, is live on HUAWEI CLOUD.

Yuan Jing, GM, HUAWEI CLOUD General AI Services, unveiled ModelArts Pro, which is positioned as an enterprise AI productivity tool on the cloud. It puts industrial AI into practice by integrating the knowhow of experts in the field into suites and workflows that empower AI app developers. This approach boosts overall AI development efficiency and implementation results.

Zhang Dixuan, GM, Huawei Atlas Data Center Business, unveiled Tensor Boost Engine (TBE) in an open beta. TBE aims to support developers in operator customisation.
Third parties also showcased their work on AI at the event. Professor Li Tao from Nankai University demonstrated fundus screening, an AI-enabled application based on the Huawei Atlas 200 DK Developer Kit.

Dr Li Jin, co-founder and CTO of Apulis Technology, unveiled the industry's first open source heterogeneous AI platform powered by the Huawei Ascend 910 processor.

*At HUAWEI CONNECT 2018, Huawei released its vision of a full-stack, all-scenario AI solution, encompassing chips, chip enablement, training and inference frameworks, and application enablement.
