China's First Domestic 100,000-Card AI Supercomputing Cluster Shuguang 8000 Goes Live

China's first fully domestic 100,000-card AI supercomputing cluster, Shuguang 8000, has been officially launched and connected to the National Supercomputing Internet's Zhengzhou core node. In its first week, it operated at full capacity, processing over 150,000 jobs daily with a peak of over 500,000. The system was listed among the top ten treasures at the 2026 World AI Conference. Comprising 30 billion electronic components, over 1,600 km of cables, and weighing 1,500 tons, it achieves assembly precision under 0.05 mm. Its distributed storage technology topped the IO500 benchmark in two categories. The cluster uses immersion cooling and supports diverse applications including large model training, scientific computing, and industrial simulation.
