Compute tokens have appeared as a standalone product on e-commerce platforms, turning invisible compute capacity into an orderable good. China's integrated national compute network follows an "8+10+3" layout of eight hubs, ten clusters and three compute-power协同 regions, with total scale growing fast.
By end-September, intelligent compute reached 2,592 EFLOPS, up 146% year on year. In the first three quarters, domestic compute paired with large models formed over 1,000 scenarios across 20 industries including steel, auto and medicine. The 15th Five-Year Plan calls for coordinated compute-power and new power-grid build-out, city-level "millisecond compute" action and green, low-carbon facilities.
