On the 9th a domestically built smart-compute cluster exceeding 10,000 accelerator cards went live in Shaoguan as part of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area hub. Total investment is 5.5 billion yuan; the facility deploys 11,520 Ascend domestic AI accelerator cards, delivering aggregate compute of 9,000P and performance described as internationally leading. The cluster is part of the national integrated compute network’s GBA hub and is intended to serve the region’s AI industry by linking domestic chips, operating systems and algorithm frameworks to complete the compute-to-application ecosystem and promote scale adoption of domestic chips and training frameworks, a step the operator says marks big-model R&D entering a “compute autonomy” phase.
