Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.

The read
Huawei Cloud's CloudMatrix 384 supernode deployment at its Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia data center. A China Research Collective analysis says the supernode, released in April 2025, was first deployed at the Ulanqab data center and that a June 2026 full-parameter post-training of a DeepSeek V4 Pro model ran on it; Baidu Baike lists Ulanqab alongside Wuhu and Gui'an as deployment sites. A supernode is 384 Ascend 910C NPUs and 192 Kunpeng CPUs in 16 racks; the analysis estimates 350 to 500 kW per supernode, which Huawei has not published. The number of supernodes at Ulanqab is not stated, so no site-level FLOPS, power or accelerator count is recorded. The claim that Ulanqab was the first site conflicts with Light Reading's report of Wuhu running in April 2025, so confidence is reported.
