Wuhan AI Computing Center

Also known as Wuhan Artificial Intelligence Computing Center

Operated by Hubei Science and Technology Investment Group at Wuhan Optics Valley Computing Campus .

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

Public AI computing centre in the East Lake High-tech (Optics Valley) zone of Wuhan, put into operation on 31 May 2021 with 100 P of Huawei Ascend compute in its first phase, expanded to 200 P in 2022 and to 400 P cumulative when the third phase completed on 30 September 2023 (IT Home). The Wuhan municipal government page of October 2025 gives the same 400 P cumulative figure and says the centre and the neighbouring Wuhan Supercomputing Center are operated by Hubei Science and Technology Investment Group through its subsidiary Wuhan Guanggu Aijisuan, with NPU processors in the AI centre. The 'P' figures are Chinese AI-compute marketing units (petaflops at low precision, not FP64), so the 400 is recorded as operator-stated and is not comparable with HPL numbers. Chip count, power and the Ascend model per phase are not given in the pages fetched. It hosts the Zidong Taichu multimodal model (Georgetown CSET brief, 2025).

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.
