Transcript of an interview with Huawei's Liao Heng
Rather than competing purely on advanced hardware, China’s AI strategy focuses on a holistic, system-level breakthrough to bypass external constraints. The core pillars include:
The "18-Layer Pagoda" Framework: Building a fully self-sufficient, end-to-end semiconductor supply chain from the ground up (raw materials to top-level algorithms).
System Co-design: Compensating for single-chip hardware limitations through massive cluster networking and rapid software-hardware iterative optimization.
Algorithmic Innovation: Rejecting blind reliance on brute-force scaling laws in favor of highly efficient, top-down hardware-software co-design architectures.
Cultivating Cross-Layer Talent: Developing versatile talent capable of bridging the entire 18-layer stack to drive systemic innovation.
