Huawei Argues Storage Enables Scalable AI Deployment

At MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei's Yuan Yuan said enterprises struggle to scale AI because of fragmented data and labor-intensive preparation, with fewer than 10% reaching production. Huawei proposed evolving storage into unified platforms that 'store knowledge'—supporting vectors, graphs, key-value models, memory and inference acceleration, and described a carrier collaboration using large-scale key-value caching to lower inference costs and latency.
