Z.AI completes 1-gigawatt AI data center using only Chinese-made chips
Z.AI, the Chinese artificial intelligence company formerly known as Zhipu, has completed construction of a massive 1-gigawatt data center powered entirely by Chinese-made chips. The facility has started partial operations and is designed to provide the computing capacity needed to develop Z.AI's most advanced GLM systems. Its power capacity is roughly equivalent to the electricity required to supply 750,000 homes at any given moment. Z.AI has also built or operated several computing clusters containing more than 10,000 chips each, suggesting the company is expanding its infrastructure as competition among Chinese AI developers intensifies. The project represents an important milestone in China's effort to reduce reliance on restricted silicon from NVIDIA, and investors may view the facility as a major test of whether China's domestic chip industry can support increasingly advanced AI models over the longer term.
