Operated by iFlytek .
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.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
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
Large-model training platform that iFlytek and Huawei jointly launched on 24 October 2023 at the iFlytek Global Developer Festival, described by China Daily as based on Huawei's Ascend computing. A secondary glossary page says Spark models from version 3.5 onward were trained on it, reports 94 percent average utilization, and lists Huawei OceanStor AI storage of dozens of petabytes. The cluster's accelerator count, location and power are not published in any page fetched, so no counts or FLOPS are recorded.

Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
