Sichuan published interim policies to advance compute-network construction,
directing upgrades to compute-park infrastructure and urging direct connections
between backbone and metro communications networks and compute parks. The
province will accelerate a “millisecond computing” action plan, coordinate
primary and backup power and support intelligent microgrids for parks. Financing
for qualifying compute-park infrastructure will be prioritised via local
government special bonds and policy financial tools. The plan backs shared
compute services — including scheduling platforms, compute marketplaces and
token factories — and aims to boost high-quality compute supply. For large-model
training/inference and industry-model development, Sichuan calls for
appropriately ahead-of-demand deployment of smart compute, accelerated
construction of 10,000-card smart-compute clusters, and balanced allocation
between general-purpose, smart and supercomputing resources to raise the
smart-compute share. Key universities, research institutes, industry leaders and
AI firms are encouraged to prioritise provincial compute resources; eligible
users may receive compute vouchers.
