An industry analyst recently revealed that China has developed a single generative AI (GAI) model across multiple data centers — a massive feat considering the complexity of using different GPUs in a single data center, let alone using servers in multiple geographic locations. Patrick Moorhead, Chief Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, said onX(formerly Twitter) that China was the first country to manage this achievement and that he discovered it during a conversation about a presumably unrelated NDA meeting....

Triggered by the rise of generative AI applications, China rapidly expanded its AI infrastructure in 2023 – 2024 and built hundreds of new data centers using both state and private funding. But this boom has since lost momentum. Facilities that cost billions of dollars now sit underused, returns are falling, and the market for GPU rentals has collapsed. To make the matters worse, many data centers became outdated before they were even fully operational as market conditions have changed, according toMIT Technology Review....

The Chinese government is promoting two new lithography machines to reduce reliance on foreign chipmaking tools amid U.S. sanctions, reports theSouth China Morning Post. Although these machines show notable technological improvements, they still trail industry leaders like ASML and Nikon. The two machines are deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography devices featuring argon fluoride lasers. One operates at a 193nm wavelength, offering a resolution below 65nm and an overlay accuracy under 8nm. The other operates at a 248nm wavelength, with a resolution of 110nm and an overlay accuracy of 25nm....
