The 2026 Artificial Intelligence Computing Conference (AICC2026) was held Sept 21 at the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center in Beijing. Focusing on the computing-industry shift driven by large models and agents, the event called for breakthroughs in computing architecture, storage, interconnect and software-hardware coordination.
Inspur's chief AI strategist outlined two directions — "capability computing" and "capacity computing" — envisioning intelligence becoming a scalable, widely accessible resource like computing and electricity.
The conference highlighted the move from single-point performance to system-level AI computing capabilities for the agent era.
