On the opening day of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), China's first domestically built 100,000-card AI super cluster, Shuguang 8000 (Dengfeng), made its global debut and was recognized as the conference's "Treasure of the Hall." Currently, Shuguang 8000 has been connected to the National Supercomputing Internet and integrated into the national unified computing power network, capable of handling tasks such as scientific computing, large model training and inference, and industrial simulation. The system has completed over 300 key application optimizations, covering more than 20 scientific research and industrial fields, with over 70 applications achieving 10,000-card scale expansion.

[SMM Computing Power Flash] A cloud service provider confirms it can accept H100 three-month short-term rentals, with priority to switch to long-term leases upon expiration.

SMM has learned that a cloud service provider stated it can handle short-term rental needs for H100 eight-card servers for three months, with priority given to finding long-term clients for renewal after the lease expires, and short-term rental prices will be raised accordingly. Previously, a university had proposed a short-term rental demand for 10 H100 units. As a currently sought-after card model in the market, suppliers mostly offer fixed-term contracts of over one year for H100s. The three-month short-term rental model provides a flexible option for temporary demand, but the premium for short-term rental and the uncertainty of renewal upon expiration also drive up leasing costs.
