China’s largest scientific intelligent computing cluster was put into operation at the core node of the national supercomputing network in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.

The node began trial operation with over 30,000 domestically made AI accelerator chips. Later, the number of such chips increased to 60,000 units.

The core node has established an integrated, inclusive, domestically developed ecosystem combining data, computing power, models and applications. It brings together diverse datasets and tools alongside thousands of open-source large models, enabling rapid deployment and development. On the supercomputing network platform, users are freed from software configuration and IT workflows. Instead, they can simply express their needs in natural language, and a super scientific computing agent will automatically break down tasks, invoke models, and schedule computing resources to deliver end-to-end results, drastically shortening the time required to complete research tasks.

This infrastructure will continue to follow an open path, covering all scenarios in research and industry while providing accessible and user-friendly services. It is expected to help China achieve greater breakthroughs in AI and gain an early advantage in global technological competition.
