Huawei rolls out openPangu-2.1-Pro model in xiaoyi work, highlighting harmonyos integration

Huawei has introduced the openPangu-2.1-Pro model within its XiaoYi Work application, emphasizing enhanced capabilities tailored for HarmonyOS tasks. This new model is currently only accessible through XiaoYi Work, as official specifications, including parameter count and training data, have not yet been disclosed by Huawei. This rollout comes as Huawei Cloud announced that its MaaS platform will cease sales of the openPangu-2.0-Flash and openPangu-2.0-Pro services on November 6, 2026, with a complete shutdown scheduled for November 30, 2026. Huawei has indicated that subsequent versions of the openPangu series are in development for future release. XiaoYi Work itself remains in Beta status and requires a paid subscription, though it offers a 31-day free trial granting 1000 AI points. Subscription options include a monthly continuous package for 49 yuan and a standard monthly continuous package for 199 yuan. The platform supports various functions such as market research, document processing, PPT creation, data analysis, content generation, and code development.
