SHANGHAI, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei hosted the Huawei Cloud Summit under the theme "Agentic Hybrid Cloud: Powering a New Era of Intelligence." Antonony Gu, President of Huawei Hybrid Cloud, delivered a keynote speech at the summit, discussing the changes driven by AI agents, Huawei Cloud Stack's evolution across four key areas—cloud infrastructure, data, AI, and ecosystem—guided by the principle of "All for AI", and its commitment to helping enterprises embrace the agentic AI era.
AI agents are among the most significant developments in AI today. Agents for coding, workplaces, design, customer service, marketing, and more are rapidly redefining how businesses get done. Antonony Gu highlighted that the rapid adoption of AI agents is driving three fundamental changes:
- The actors driving business execution are changing: from humans using applications to human-agent collaboration and agent-to-agent (A2A) collaboration. AI agents are emerging at scale as a new class of digital employees.
- Resource provisioning is changing: AI agents are task-oriented, relying on compute, data, and models that are packaged and readily available for invocation. Resource delivery is shifting from layer-by-layer assembly to integrated capabilities organized around agent-driven tasks.
- What's being managed is changing: The focus is shifting from traditional IT resources, such as compute, storage, and networking, to AI compute, data, and models. Managing these resources through separate systems can create new IT silos.
Addressing these changes, Huawei Cloud has introduced an AI agent-ready hybrid cloud architecture comprising four key capabilities: an agile, elastic cloud infrastructure designed for continuous evolution and unified general-purpose and AI compute; an AI-native capability hub that connects data, compute, and tokens; an agent-native enablement platform for developing and running AI agents at scale; and intelligent operations and end-to-end security capabilities covering the entire AI agent lifecycle.
Antonony Gu emphasized, "As AI agent adoption continues to accelerate over the next three to five years, a deterministic hybrid cloud architecture is a clear path forward for enterprises in the agentic world."
