On July 9, 2026, the National Supercomputing Internet core node officially went live in Zhengzhou, offering over 100,000 domestic AI accelerator cards as a pooled computing resource. This milestone marks the largest single domestic AI computing resource pool connected to China's National Supercomputing Internet, significantly boosting the country's sovereign AI compute capabilities and reducing dependence on foreign hardware. The node handles core functions such as operation management, resource scheduling, and integrates supply-demand matching and industry incubation services, aiming to build a nationwide coordinated computing resource system.
Background
China's National Supercomputing Internet platform was launched in April 2024 to connect supercomputing centers across the country into an integrated network. Domestic AI accelerator cards, such as those from Huawei and Sugon, are increasingly being deployed in large clusters. The 10,000-card club indicates growing market traction for Chinese AI chips based on performance and stability.
