Background & analysis
On November 6, 2026, Epoch AI published an analysis concluding that Huawei's AI data center in Horinger, Inner Mongolia, which uses Ascend chips, has an estimated AI computing capacity equal to only 7% of that of the world's largest AI data center, SpaceX's Colossus 2 in Tennessee. The researchers framed the finding as evidence of the gap China faces in frontier-scale AI compute. As of this report, no further developments have been published, so the story currently stands at the release of this single analysis.
