Huawei's chief executive liang hui: domestic computing power lags behind global by two generations, but will catch up

On October 22, 2026, the 2026 Keda Xunfei Global 1024 Developer Festival kicked off at 14:00, with dual venues in Beijing and Hefei, Anhui. Keda Xunfei's chairman, Liang Hui, emphasized that artificial intelligence is a significant historical process requiring collective effort. He stated that while domestic computing power lags behind global standards by about two generations, it will soon narrow to one generation, then half a generation, and eventually reach parity or even lead globally. Liang also noted that few domestic companies are currently investing heavily in large model training, but he believes more developers will join the field in the future. He highlighted China's potential to gain unique competitiveness and influence in AI. Liang expressed concerns about the broader implications of AI on human society, including the fusion and challenges between carbon-based and silicon-based life. He stressed the importance of shared vision across sectors to enable AI to transform the world.
