Zhipu AI has completed a 1GW AI data center that exclusively uses Chinese-made chips for model training. This move signifies a shift for large model companies from being mere consumers of computing power to becoming organizers of their own infrastructure. Unlike cloud-based solutions, building dedicated data centers requires significant upfront investment in land, power, and cooling, and involves long-term planning that anticipates future model needs.
