China's computing power hits 3.1M PFLOPS, ranking second globally as new AI data standards group forms

The rapid growth of AI large models is driving a surge in demand for intelligent computing power, making data standardization a key foundation for digital transformation across industries.

China's national data standardization committee held its "Standards Week" event in Xiamen, Fujian, officially setting up a working group for embodied AI data standards, along with four industry groups covering meteorology, health, electricity and commerce, to speed up standard-making in the data field.

Latest data shows China's total computing power has reached 3.1 million PFLOPS, ranking second in the world, with annual growth of about 30%. By the end of 2025, the country had over 13.73 million standard racks of computing facilities and 42 clusters with 10,000+ AI chips, with intelligent computing power reaching 1.59 million PFLOPS, also second globally.

As large models continue to empower industry applications and smart devices, the intelligent computing sector is expected to keep growing, and these standards will support digital transformation across sectors.
