147、ency and resource utilization.TM Forum and many other global industry organizations have come to a consensus on reaching Autonomous Network Level 4(AN L4),and many leading global carriers have already formulated their roadmaps to get there.AI is progressing by leaps and bounds along two paths,creati
148、ng insatiable demand for more computing power.The first path is in pursuit of artificial general intelligence(AGI),fueled by efforts to augment the cognitive abilities of models with super-scale computing infrastructure.The second path aims to reduce the barriers to AI adoption and broaden its appli
149、cation across industries.To address growing demand for computing power,AI computing infrastructure and ecosystems need to keep evolving in four areas.Unit-node computing power:Supernodes help break through the computing bottlenecks of individual nodes and are becoming a mainstream option for heavy c
150、omputing workloads.With a peer-to-peer architecture and an innovative high-speed bus,supernodes allow hundreds or even thousands of AI chips to work together as Computing infrastructure:Making computing power available everywhere to turbocharge intelligence across industriesefficiently as an individ
151、ual node.This translates into huge leaps in unit-node computing power,up from single cards to the aggregated power of hundreds or even thousands of cards.Improvements in computing power density and memory capacity can slash the time needed for model training,while large-scale memory pooling and shar
152、ing can greatly boost inference performance and cut costs.Ultra-large clusters:Synergistic optimization of computing scale,computing usage effectiveness(CUE),and cluster utilization is central to new breakthroughs in ultra-large clusters.First,innovative network architecture can provide the high ban
153、dwidth and low latency required for stable and reliable data transmission,which is essential for ultra-large clusters with hundreds of thousands or even millions of cards.Second,greater synergy between computing,data storage,and networking can greatly increase cluster CUE and utilization.14 Huawei I
154、nvestment&Holding Co.,Ltd.This,coupled with technologies like prefill-decode(PD)disaggregation,can support more efficient responses to inference requests from a staggering number of users.Third,a well-functioning management platform is needed for the clusters full-domain unified management,proactive
155、 fault prevention,and rapid fault location across domains.Affordability of AI inference:Efficiency,cost,and flexibility are top considerations as companies look for the right AI inference solutions.As AI inferencing expands from data centers to the edge and devices,inference hardware is also taking
156、on more forms going beyond clusters to servers,appliances,edge stations,boards,cards,and modules to cover all potential scenarios.As for inference software,ongoing enhancements to out-of-the-box performance and lower barriers to development are critical for broader adoption.In the case of edge and o
157、n-device inference,synergistic optimization of hardware and software helps reduce both the latency and cost of inference,further driving down the cost of AI adoption in companies.Computing ecosystem development and joint innovation:As industries go intelligent,they need a wide array of innovative pr
158、oducts,models,and applications.Developing these offerings requires a whole-of-ecosystem approach.Building on foundational AI software and hardware platforms,the ecosystem needs to develop specialized hardware modules as well as a rich set of toolchains,acceleration libraries,and development kits tha

161、ce.These cloud capabilities go a long way towards reducing the barriers to AI application in companies.With on-demand access to massive computing power on cloud,companies can experiment inexpensively and verify rapidly.For most companies,building their own AI DCs can be burdensome and costly.AI tech
162、nology is evolving rapidly,so its challenging to manage and coordinate multiple generations of AI hardware and software products that co-exist in a single DC.When combined with extremely high environmental requirements for DC equipment rooms,building in-house AI DCs is far less flexible than using c
163、loud services.Cloud platforms provide companies with real-time,on-demand access to massive AI computing power with unmatched flexibility,efficiency,stability,and price performance.All told,cloud platforms are a springboard for faster AI innovation.Cloud platforms also offer out-of-the-box access to
164、mainstream foundation models,making AI application even easier for companies.On cloud platforms,companies can find a full range of Cloud:Upgrading a full stack of cloud services for AImainstream foundation models that are affordable and designed to address the specific needs of different industries.
165、Cloud platforms also provide complete toolchains for model tuning,deployment,and testing,which help lower the technical barriers to fine-tuning and incremental training.This allows companies to focus on their own business innovation and value creation.Cloud platforms can also provide a multi-modal d
