The Secret of Huawei’s Tau (τ) Scaling Law Is Human Resources (2 of 2) (Tech Strategy)
Huawei’s biggest strength is the system they have developed for the creation, assessment and distribution of value by +200,000 people. It’s ultimately about HR strategy. Their HR strategy is about identifying, supporting and rewarding the top contributing, current employees – with economic value going to the people that are currently creating the value.
My Simple Explanation for Huawei’s Tau (τ) Scaling Law (1 of 2) (Tech Strategy)
Huawei is designing quasi-3D circuits. Instead of flat chips, think of quasi-3D chips with more vertical layers and connectivity. That decrease in wire length means reducing resistance and capacitance, which is part of how you decrease signal propagation delay (τ), the foundation of their tau scaling approach.
My Explanation for Tencent’s More Focused and Aggressive Strategy in AI and Agents (2 of 3)
Unlike traditional software, you can’t just build a GenAI service and then let everyone use it for free. The compute and other costs required for intelligence are not mostly fixed. Variable costs are a big deal in generative AI, whether it be LLMs, image generation, or video generation.

Hy3 preview, built with the new model infrastructure, emphasizes complex reasoning, long context understanding, coding, and intelligent agent capabilities while using an efficient MoE architecture. This supports systematic deployment into Tencent’s products and ongoing advancements in AI and agents.
How Do You Actually Win in Consumer Electronics? Lessons from Huawei. (Tech Strategy – Podcast 283)
This week’s podcast is about consumer electronics and lessons learned from Huawei’s recent product event. Jeffrey Towson discusses frameworks for success in this space, including four key dimensions: ecosystem building, software and AI, emotional impact and resonance, and tech leadership. Huawei’s consumer products division provides a strong case study for competing effectively on product quality, utility, and emotional resonance, especially when expanding internationally without a dominant operating system.
