Shanghai’s Commission of Economy and Informatization issues a software and
information‑services plan to create a tiered supply system of large clusters +
small clusters + edge compute. It calls for 100,000‑GPU‑class ultra‑large AI
compute clusters in Songjiang, Lingang and Qingpu, and thousand‑GPU clusters in
Baoshan, Pudong and Jiading. The plan directs conversion of traditional data
centers and telecom rooms into ~100‑GPU edge compute centers to meet enterprise
and consumer ultra‑low‑latency compute needs. It prioritizes finance, education,
healthcare, culture/tourism and industry for Model‑as‑a‑Service (MaaS) platforms
offering industry app marketplaces, model customization and hosting, Agent
construction, low‑code development, APIs, compute provisioning and management,
and AI inference services.
