MaaS
Token-metered service giving access to hosted third-party foundation models, run on Huawei's CloudMatrix infrastructure.
The page's own headline calls it "High-performance, easy-to-use token services", so the charging unit is stated even though no rate is published on the page. Access caveat printed on the page: "This service can only be accessed via corporate accounts when you are outside" the mainland-China site.

The models it serves are THIRD-PARTY: the page's Model Square is titled "Instant Access to Best-in-Class Models, All in One Place" and lists GLM-5.2, GLM-5.1, DeepSeek-V4-Pro and DeepSeek-V4-Flash, with the feature panel reading "High-quality models DeepSeek | GLM, etc." GLM is Zhipu AI/Z.ai's family and DeepSeek is DeepSeek's; Huawei's own model family is Pangu, advertised separately. Huawei's page supplies NO vendor attribution either way, so this note records the hosting relationship rather than a claim the page makes.

Pagetext, 2026-09-30. MaaS's own rate card: "MaaS supports token-based billing." and "You are charged for the input and output tokens used for model inference." with a table in "Unit Price (USD/1 Million Tokens)" (e.g. GLM-5.3 input 1.4, output 4.4). Eligibility limit, not a parent: the product page says "Huawei Cloud International website users can access this service only with an enterprise account." and the FAQ (maas_faq/maas_faq_0014.html) "No. Currently, MaaS in the CN-Hong Kong region is available only to enterprise accounts."
