Guanggu AI Film and TV Content Creation Center Launches, Targets Local Story Monetization Barrier

The Guanggu AI Film and TV Content Creation Center has officially launched, jointly established by five parties including Guanggu Transportation Investment Group and local cultural and arts bodies. The center aims to break the dilemma of 'local stories monetized elsewhere' by leveraging AI technology. The Guanggu area hosts over 800 AI companies with a combined industry scale of Rmb 60 billion, and 385 cultural enterprises above designated size generated over Rmb 130 billion in revenue in 2025. However, less than 3% of the approximately 142,000 AI short dramas added monthly on Douyin have a strong original literary foundation. The center will address content gaps by connecting Hubei's rich online literature resources with AI production capabilities.

China Liquid Cooling Server Penetration Rises from Under 3% in 2021 to 20% in 2025

Liquid cooling for data centers is gaining traction as AI drives higher computing density. China's liquid cooling server penetration rose from under 3% in 2021 to 20% in 2025, while global AI data center liquid cooling penetration increased from 14% in 2024 to 33% in 2025. Cold plate liquid cooling dominates, with immersion cooling limited to specific high-density scenarios. At the 2026 World AI Conference, major server vendors including Huawei, ZTE, H3C, and Inspur upgraded their supernode systems to full liquid cooling. Coolant standardization remains incomplete, with PG 25 (25% propylene glycol, 75% deionized water) and EG 25 lacking unified specifications. Operational complexity and construction costs pose ongoing challenges.

Microsoft Prioritizes AI Compute for Copilot Over Azure, Limiting Growth to 39%

Microsoft CFO Amy Hood said in January that the company allocates AI compute first to its own products like Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot, then to long-term R&D, and finally to Azure customers. If all GPUs deployed in the first half had gone to Azure, its growth rate could have exceeded 40% instead of the actual 39%. Azure sales quotas were raised up to 30%. After GitHub outages, Microsoft used Amazon Web Services and explored Oracle infrastructure. Since February 2023, Microsoft has integrated generative AI into Office, Windows, and GitHub. GitHub Copilot faces competition from Cursor and Claude Code. CEO Satya Nadella reorganized to focus more on AI.
