SASAC deputy director Pang Xiaogang said at WAIC 2026 central state‑owned enterprises must accelerate R&D on foundational models and algorithms, physical AI, intelligent‑computing chips and quantum communications, and insist on a 'national model, national chip, national deployment' to build an autonomous software‑and‑hardware stack. SASAC said it has deepened an AI+ campaign with targeted support policies and three years of tiered talent training, pushed SOEs to develop more than 1,200 open industry scenarios, adapted systems to a full range of domestic chips and brought five 10,000‑accelerator‑card compute clusters into production. It called for increased investment to expand self-built and managed compute capacity, improve cross-domain heterogeneous scheduling, accelerate compute collaboration and green‑power direct connections, and supply inclusive compute services externally.
