Huawei Cloud official launch MaaS in Thailand and introduce Full-Stack AI Capabilities to Drive Thailand's Intelligent Transformation

BANGKOK, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei Cloud hosted Huawei Cloud Thailand AI Boost Day 2026, showcasing its vision for advancing the next generation of artificial intelligence through the introduction of Agentic AI—a new paradigm that is redefining the boundaries of AI applications, from passive response systems to intelligent agents capable of proactive planning and executing complex tasks, alongside the official launch of Model as a Service (MaaS) in Thailand, Huawei Cloud's MaaS is designed to address key enterprise scenarios, including large language models, coding, and multimodal applications. Built on Huawei's proprietary acceleration engine, the platform delivers optimized performance, faster response, and enhanced stability, while supporting leading industry models to provide a high-quality and reliable token-based service experience. The service has already been adopted by leading enterprises across multiple industries.

Notably, the launch of MaaS also supports the recently introduced GLM-5 model, which has achieved state-of-the-art performance in coding and agent capabilities among open-source models. With strengths in handling complex system engineering and long-context agent tasks, GLM-5 serves as a strong foundation for building enterprise-grade general-purpose AI agents.

The event brought together senior executives from the public and private sectors, as well as leading partners, who took the stage to share insights and exchange perspectives on the future of AI-driven business transformation. The event also highlighted Huawei Cloud's continued commitment to strengthening collaboration with leading open-source AI models, enabling Day-0 availability and helping enterprises accelerate innovation and unlock business value more rapidly in the AI era.

A New Computing Paradigm for the AI Era

Huawei Cloud executive said Agentic AI introduces a new computing paradigm, placing more complex and dynamic demands on infrastructure compared with previous application models.

James Tan, Head of AI, Huawei Cloud APAC, stated: "Agentic AI is redefining how AI systems operate—from reactive tools to intelligent agents capable of autonomous decision-making and execution. This shift requires a new generation of cloud infrastructure that is more adaptive, scalable, and intelligent than ever before."

Mr. Surasak Sanichwatphibun, CTO of Huawei Thailand Cloud Business, added: "To meet these evolving demands, Huawei Cloud has developed a comprehensive full-stack AI strategy, guided by the core requirements of Agentic AI. The company has established an integrated technology framework covering AI infrastructure, large models and toolchains, and intelligent agent platforms, providing strong foundational support for enterprises undergoing intelligent transformation."

Paul joins Owl's global platform to support founders building the future of learning and work

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Owl Ventures, the world's largest venture capital firm focused on education and workforce innovation, today announced that NBA legend, entrepreneur, and community leader Chris Paul has joined the firm as Venture Partner.

As Venture Partner, Paul will support founders, convene strategic partners, and bring perspective and relationships that help portfolio companies expand their reach and impact. The role builds on his longstanding focus on mentorship, leadership development, and expanding opportunity across communities, while deepening his work with founders and businesses beyond sports.

With more than $2.2 billion in committed capital, three global offices, and over 100 investments, Owl Ventures backs companies helping people learn, prepare for work, advance in their careers, and build skills throughout life. Owl's portfolio companies collectively reach more than 700 million users globally.

"Education is where real change starts," said Chris Paul. "That can happen in a classroom, through a trade, with a mentor, or through the lessons you learn from family and community. My upbringing was rooted in placing value on work ethic, ownership, and opportunity and how access to those things can change a person's life. Owl shares that same belief in helping build companies that can have real impact and give more people access to the tools and opportunities they need to move forward."

As president of the National Basketball Players Association for eight years, Paul represented players through major business and labor issues, built consensus across the league, and helped advance player empowerment and economic opportunity. That experience directly informs the perspective he brings to founders at Owl.

"Chris Paul has spent his career doing what great point guards do: seeing the floor, recognizing potential, and helping others succeed," said Ian Chiu, Managing Partner of Owl Ventures. "That instinct has always extended beyond basketball. As a leader, entrepreneur, and community builder, Chris has used his platform to expand opportunity and help people move forward. We are thrilled to welcome him to Owl as Venture Partner as we continue backing companies that help people learn, build skills, and reach their potential."

As AI reshapes how people learn, work, and build careers, lifelong learning and the ability to turn new skills into opportunity are becoming essential. We believe the companies defining this next era will pair technology with an even greater emphasis on real-world context, trusted relationships, and human insight.

"From the beginning, Owl Ventures has been built around a simple belief: learning is one of the most powerful drivers of human potential and economic progress," said Tom Costin, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Owl Ventures. "Our approach has always been to bring more than capital to the founders building transformative companies in education and workforce innovation. In a rapidly changing landscape, deep sector insight, relationships, and practical support in reaching the people they serve matter more than ever. Chris adds a powerful new dimension to that work."
