What is established
Partially operational. 1 GW announced (basis not stated by the source); owned or developed by Z.ai.
What is not disclosed
Accelerator count, project capex, timeline, named tenant, power source, cooling technology — not disclosed by any source on this page. Recorded as unknown, never as zero.
Analyst note
Facility in partial operation as of July 2026; 1GW figure is company-stated design capacity, IT-vs-site basis not specified. Site location not disclosed in Bloomberg/SCMP reporting — coordinates are Z.ai's Beijing HQ, not the DC. Z.ai has been on the US entity list since Jan 2025; also runs multiple 10,000+ chip clusters. GLM-5.2 reportedly trained entirely on Huawei Ascend. Coordinates omitted: the site location is undisclosed.
Physical work is under way and the evidence includes a primary source.
Power readiness
Capacity basis unclear
A megawatt figure exists but the source does not say whether it is IT load, site power or generation.
Derived from the evidence on this page by a published rule, not a model. How this is calculated.
Chinese domestic accelerators (vendor not named; Huawei Ascend implied)
