Huawei capitalises on OpenClaw frenzy to boost computing demand for its chips
The company plans to launch AgentArts, an agent development platform for enterprises, on April 30 for public beta testing
Chinese telecommunications gear giant Huawei Technologies is capitalising on the OpenClaw frenzy with new enterprise agent tools and a series of Kunpeng and Ascend compute offerings, as it bets on surging demand for agentic artificial intelligence services.
The Shenzhen-based company announced at its China Partner Conference on Thursday that it would launch AgentArts, an agent development platform for enterprises, on April 30 for public beta testing, followed by the official release of the open-source version on May 30.
The platform was designed to improve the efficiency of AI agent development, cutting delivery time by more than 60 per cent, according to the company.
“AI agents have moved quickly from concept to large-scale deployment, and OpenClaw, in particular, has become a global phenomenon in the past month or so, with its extremely strong capabilities of autonomous execution,” said Wang Tao, executive director at Huawei, at the conference.
The expanding deployment of agentic AI across industries had driven exponential growth in token consumption, and Huawei aimed to meet the rising demand for computing power with its Kunpeng and Ascend platforms, Wang said.
“In 2026, we will open our hardware series, including modules, standard cards, servers and supernodes, to our partners, and build the foundation of computing power together,” he added.
