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.
