Z.AI Completes A Gigawatt Data Center Running Only Chinese Chips
The Shanghai complex reaches roughly one gigawatt of capacity with zero foreign chips inside, built to train Zhipu AI's GLM model family.
- The Shanghai facility now totals around 1 gigawatt of computing capacity, Bloomberg reports.
- Every processor inside the complex is Chinese made, none supplied by Nvidia or other foreign vendors.
- Z.AI will run the site to train its GLM family of large language models.
Why it matters: Export controls were built to deny this exact capability; it got built anyway, only at home.
