The instance is designed to handle inference for mixture-of-experts models with up to 10 trillion parameters, the company said in a statement sent to the Global Times on Wednesday. 
This marks the first supernode-form computing architecture in China to successfully run large language models exceeding 2 trillion parameters, according to the company.
Industry expert Tian Feng told the Global Times that the commercial rollout of supernode infrastructure could significantly reduce training cycles, lower costs, and speed up iteration for AI developers requiring massive computational resources.
The company said the new instance has already been used to power commercial services for large language models such as KimiK3 and Qwen3.8Max.
The Lingjun Zhenwu M890 ­supernode instance supports FP8/FP4 low-precision computing. Through the ICNSwitch 1.0 chip, its scale-up interconnect scale has been expanded from 16 cards to 64 cards, with inter-card interconnect bandwidth boosted to 800 GB/s. Enterprises can provision 64-card, high-speed-interconnect computing units through the cloud without building their own data centers, according to the company.
In training scenarios such as autonomous driving and embodied intelligence, the instance delivers three times the training performance compared with the previous-generation Zhenwu 810E, the company said.
Ulanqab, where the supernode instance debuted, is one of Alibaba Cloud's five super data centers. The facility sources approximately 90 percent of its electricity from green energy, providing a low-carbon operating environment for high-density computing power.
Leveraging its climate, energy and network advantages, Ulanqab has transformed from "China's potato hometown" into the "token factory"  - a term increasingly used in the AI industry to describe infrastructure dedicated to producing the digital building blocks generated by large language models. 
By the end of 2025, the city had attracted 84 data center projects, including 81 intelligent computing centers, with total investment exceeding 500 ­billion yuan ($74.1 billion) and operational computing power reaching approximately 172,000 petaflops, ranking it firmly in the nation's top tier, according to domestic media reports.
On August 6, China's largest AI computing industrial park was completed and put into operation in Ulanqab. The project highlights a broader race in ­China to build massive AI data centers capable of supporting the next generation of AI models while addressing soaring electricity demand, according to Chinese experts.
In recent years, Inner Mongolia has been rapidly positioning itself as a global-scale AI computing center cluster. Major technology companies, including Huawei, Tencent, ByteDance and Alibaba; telecom operators China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom; as well as cyberspace infrastructure service provider VNET, have established computing facilities in the region.
As the AI industry gradually transitions from the training era to the inference era and large model parameters continue to expand, supernodes have become a central battleground for AI infrastructure.
Chinese vendors are accelerating deployments in this space. Huawei has commercially deployed more than 750 sets of its Ascend 384 supernodes across industries including internet, telecom operators, finance, education, healthcare, transportation and manufacturing. It is also the only domestic supernode to have trained state-of-the-art (SOTA) models.
Baidu AI Cloud has also launched its Tianchi 256-card supernode based on Kunlun chips, with support for major models including Wenxin, DeepSeek, GLM, and MiniMax.
Meanwhile, supercomputer manufacturer Sugon has unveiled China's first fully domestic 100,000-card AI ­supercluster Sugon 8000 (Dengfeng), integrating supercomputing and AI computing on a unified architecture. It has now been connected to the national supercomputing internet to provide computing services to government, research, and enterprise clients nationwide. 
Tian, former dean of SenseTime's Intelligence Industry Research Institute, told the Global Times that the flurry of domestic supernode launches reflects a broader inflection point as China's AI sector pivots from training capacity toward efficient, large-scale inference. 
The expert further said that the commercial viability of these systems - evidenced by Huawei's extensive deployed base, Baidu's rapid model adaptation and Sugon's integration into the national computing network - suggests domestic vendors are moving beyond proof-of-concept to genuine production-grade infrastructure, a prerequisite for sustaining the next wave of ­trillion-parameter model proliferation, Tian noted.
The move also underscores China's push for self-reliance in AI infrastructure as US chip export restrictions continue to tighten, Tian said, noting that, in the supernode domain, Chinese companies are shifting from imported graphics processing units toward homegrown interconnect chips and domestic compute clusters, a transition that could reshape value allocation across the AI industry chain.
。中央气象台于昨日早晨继续发布暴雨橙色预警与强对流天气蓝色预警。受其影响，杭州短期内多雨的天气格局仍将持续。更值得关注的是，“白海豚”的尾流区域内，西南季风和高压底部的东南气流交汇，还将催生出新的低压系统。未来，“白海豚”残余低压将缓慢东移，与东侧新生低压逐步靠近，进一步增强杭州上空的辐合上升运动，叠加季风源源不断输送的充沛水汽，预计今明两天杭州降雨量将明显增大，局地可能出现短时强降水、雷雨大风等强对流天气。自从“白海豚”开始影响以来，杭州气温已较前期明显回落，昨日起小幅回升至30℃出头。虽然未达到高温线，但持续降雨让湿度明显升高，加上低压环流影响造成气压降低，整体体感闷热潮湿，和梅雨季十分相似。大家可参照应对梅雨季的方式做好除湿降温，居家和室内场所可开启除湿设备，缓解潮湿闷热带来的体感不适、衣物发霉等问题。此外，气象部门特别提醒，当前正值暑期旅游出行高峰，请大家务必密切关注沿途及目的地的天气预报及气象灾害预警信息，提前规划行程。若遭遇暴雨、强对流等灾害性天气，须主动规避各类风险，远离河道、山体、低洼积水、地质灾害易发区等危险区域。
