HUAWEI HiAI is an AI capability open platform for intelligent terminals launched by Huawei. It is based on a three-layer open architecture of "chip, device, and cloud," namely open chip capabilities, open application capabilities, and open service capabilities, building a comprehensively open intelligent ecosystem so that developers can quickly leverage Huawei's powerful AI processing capabilities to provide users with a better intelligent application experience.
In terms of use, this platform is mainly aimed at mobile AI application development, helping developers integrate artificial intelligence capabilities on Huawei terminals, covering areas such as invoking chip computing power, application-layer AI functions, and service aggregation.
Its main capabilities include three levels. Open chip capabilities: provide NPU hardware acceleration so applications can achieve stronger performance; NPU on-device computing power can be used without an internet connection, supporting offline operation; on-device AI on phones does not need to upload data to the network, ensuring privacy and security; provide NPU-friendly models to assist developers in optimizing model structures; provide the ability to quickly upgrade the operator library, helping developers quickly support new models and launch new services. Open application capabilities provide a variety of APIs through HUAWEI HiAI Engine, such as document photo recognition and angle correction, intelligent image enlargement or denoising, text extraction from screenshots, mobile terminal speech recognition, QR code and barcode recognition, and related follow-up services. Open service capabilities aggregate developers' content and services through HUAWEI HiAI Service, providing third-party direct services for Huawei terminal products, and providing a development, testing, and deployment platform for end-to-end dialogue services.
In terms of usage, the platform provides tools such as HUAWEI HMS Toolkit to support developer access. The materials do not provide specific installation commands or code examples, nor do they explain the charging model or pricing.
In terms of applicable scenarios, HiAI has been applied in multiple fields, such as Kuaishou comic special-effect image quality experience, iQIYI on-device video super-resolution image quality optimization, WPS mobile office document detection and correction, Ctrip Travel travel photography, Suning.com image browsing, Autohome intelligent selection of video covers, Kahui scanning services, Xinhua Dictionary voice character lookup, Yuanbei Driving Test super-resolution images, etc.
In terms of limitations, the materials do not clearly list the platform's usage restrictions, regional restrictions, or developer qualification requirements. Specific access conditions need to refer to the official documentation.
