On September 21, 2024, the Huazhi Large Model Industry Application Seminar co-hosted by CNKI and Huawei Cloud was held in Shanghai, where the Huazhi Large Model 5.0 version was released. This version has undergone comprehensive upgrades in application scenarios, inference capabilities, and content generation credibility, and has introduced new applications such as Smart PPT, AI Technology Search, Huazhi APP, and 3D Holographic Interactive Digital Humans.

Huawei has launched the 'AI Hundred Schools Program' aimed at supporting domestic universities in AI research and innovation by providing AI computing resources through Ascend Cloud Services. This initiative seeks to eliminate computing power bottlenecks and promote scientific research and talent development. The program is targeted at university teams with significant research achievements or far-reaching influence, covering a wide range of areas including AI operators, algorithms, model inference, and large model training. Applicant teams are required to submit project details, and Huawei will comprehensively evaluate project goals, value, innovation, and impact on the industry and ecosystem. Approved projects can receive between 50,000 to 1 million annually.

In the field of 3D digital humans, research teams from Nanjing University, Fudan University, and Huawei Noah's Ark Lab have proposed innovative solutions to address the issues of multi-view consistency and insufficient emotional expressiveness. They developed the EmoTalk3D dataset, which includes calibrated multi-view videos, emotion annotations, and frame-by-frame 3D geometric information. By constructing a mapping framework from 'speech to geometry to appearance', the research team introduced a new method that enables the synthesis of 3D talking avatars with controllable emotions, significantly enhancing lip synchronization and rendering quality.

Huawei launched the new Huawei MatePad Air tablet at the Hongmeng Smart Travel Enjoyment S9 and Huawei Full Scenario New Product Launch. The new MatePad Air features a seamless all-metal body design and utilizes natural mica powder materials that are corrosion-resistant and sweat-resistant, available in four fresh and elegant colors: Grass Green, Sakura Pink, Feather White, and Smoke Gray.
