At the 2026 China Compute Power Conference Xiong'an Forum, the Xiong'an International Integrated Compute Dispatch Center officially began operations. The center comprises an integrated compute-dispatch platform and an international large-model service platform. The dispatch platform targets a national cross‑regional compute scheduling hub, aggregating heterogeneous compute resources, linking a compute-flow network and addressing compute ‘islands’; it now covers eight national compute hubs and connects 44 resource pools across 19 provinces, with total compute capacity reported above 27,000 P. The international large-model service platform will focus on token-scheduling services and aggregate mainstream large models to operate as a global large-model aggregation hub.
