Another technological breakthrough. The world's first gigawatt-level AI training cluster has officially launched, and this scale has completely refreshed industry perceptions.



The electricity consumption alone is enough to illustrate the issue—peak power consumption has already exceeded the highest peak of San Francisco's entire electricity usage. In other words, the system's daily electricity consumption can strain a city's power grid. Even more astonishing is that in April this year, it will be upgraded to 1.5GW, roughly equivalent to the continuous output of a large nuclear power plant.

What is the specific scale? A training cluster composed of 550,000 top-tier GPU chips. This is not only an engineering innovation but also a comprehensive challenge to energy, cooling, and network architecture. From an infrastructure perspective, this indicates that the computing power arms race in the AI era has entered a new magnitude.

Wow, 550,000 GPUs? How much would it cost to run all of them? Just the electricity bill could support a small country.

550,000 GPUs stacked up, how much money does that burn... Nuclear power plant-level electricity consumption, it's truly crazy.

55万张GPU... actually if you run the opex numbers on this, the basis points matter way more than the headline. what's the actual cost per flop and how does that affect model training ROI? classic move to flex gigawatts while nobody talks about efficiency ratios.

Holy crap, 550,000 GPUs? How much electricity does that burn? Even nuclear power plants would need to work overtime. --- This power consumption could make all of San Francisco step aside. Who dares to compete for electricity with this thing? --- It's an arms race, brother. Without some national strength, you can't even play this game. --- How many BTC can be bought with a day's worth of electricity? I really can't hold it anymore. --- Cooling must be a nightmare; engineers must be going crazy. --- Rising to 1.5GW in April? No, do we still need to increase? Are they serious about letting people live?
