At the recently held 2025 Computational Internet Conference, the cross-domain system of the national Computational Internet service platform was released, marking that the development of China's computing power has entered a new stage of collaboration and interoperability.

According to the data, as of December 2025, the number of consumer Internet users in China has approached 10 million, and when the number of public intelligent computing services has reached 1.407 billion cards, the size of the intelligent computing service market has exceeded 130 billion yuan.

Han Xia, Executive Deputy Director and Secretary General of the Information and Communication Technology Commission of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that computing power is an important support for the development of artificial intelligence, and accelerating the construction of computing power infrastructure is of great significance. Currently, China has made significant breakthroughs in the interconnection of computing power facilities, with continuous enhancement of platform aggregation capabilities and continuous release of industrial value through integrated applications.

Strengthen overall planning and coordination

Accelerating the interconnection of computing power and promoting efficient supply-demand matching of computing power are important supports for the high-quality development of China's digital economy. Currently, the booming development of artificial intelligence has spurred the demand for interconnected computing power, and users need to be able to access computing resources anytime, anywhere, and on demand.

Overall, China's computing power service providers are diverse and dispersed, with uneven facility layouts and significant differences in cluster architectures. A large amount of small scattered computing power and idle resources are difficult to integrate, making it increasingly urgent to promote computing power interconnection and interoperability at the national level.

Wu Hequan, academician of the CAE Member, said that globally, the demand for computing power driven by artificial intelligence is growing exponentially. Computing power competition has upgraded from a single technology competition to an ecological synergy game. Countries have built an integrated computing ecosystem through top-level design. The development of computing power in our country has entered a critical stage of transition from large-scale layout to integrated interconnection.

On the basis of the existing Internet architecture, the interconnection of computing power is to standardize the interconnection of public computing power resources of different entities and different architectures by building a unified computing power logo, enhancing heterogeneous computing and elastic network capabilities, to form a service capability that can be queried, talked about, and called, to achieve efficient supply and demand matching, flow interconnection, and migration of data and applications between computing power, to promote the efficiency of computing resource use and service level, so that computing power can be used as easily as water and electricity.

Yu Xiaohui, president of the China Academy of Information and Communications, said that Compute Internet can transmit computing tasks and data to the appropriate computing resource pool anytime and anywhere according to user needs, and feed back computing results in real time to complete various intelligent computing tasks.

The construction of the Computing Power Internet is cross-sectoral, cross-regional, and cross-industry, necessitating top-level design and overall promotion. In 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Action Plan for Computing Power Interconnection," which outlined clear goals and tasks from multiple dimensions, including interconnection infrastructure, infrastructure interconnection, and resource interconnection. The aim is to comprehensively advance the development of a multi-level computing power interconnection platform system and accelerate the standardization of public computing power interconnection. By establishing a standardized and flexible public computing power base, we will empower the digital and intelligent transformation of numerous industries.

It is understood that the national computing power Internet service platform is based on the key regional platforms in Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, and Hubei, as well as the computing power Internet pilot network built by China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China ICT Institute. It can provide diversified public services to upstream and downstream enterprises and users of the computing industry, such as computing resource providers, computing power dispatching service providers, and application software service providers. It realizes the unified access of computing power service providers, the unified application of computing power logo, and the unified invocation of computing power services.

At the 2025 Computational Internet Conference, the national Computational Internet Sichuan hub node was officially launched. The Sichuan hub node of the National Computing Power Internet expands the computing power service boundary based on the computing power interconnection platform to achieve three landmark breakthroughs, including building a domestic leading supply and demand matching service system across service providers and frameworks; Launching the leading domestic intelligent agent based computing power product service "Supermarket"; Having the ability to perceive and monitor the status of domestically leading minute level computing power resources. Next, this node will serve as the core carrier of the "East Data West Computing" western hub, and will create a computing power interconnection and dispatch center that faces the southwest and radiates throughout the country.

Accelerate technological breakthroughs

The computing power industry is currently in a critical period of accelerating technological iteration and reshaping production patterns. Standardization work is not only the "ballast stone" for the high-quality development of the industry, but also the navigator for innovative breakthroughs.

Nan Xinsheng, Deputy Secretary General of the China Communications Standards Association, believes that while the computing power industry is developing rapidly, the pain points of lagging standardization construction are becoming increasingly prominent. The lack of unified technical standards support has led to low efficiency in computing resource scheduling, difficulty in heterogeneous computing collaborative scheduling, and barriers to cross-domain data circulation, which seriously restricts the high-quality development of the computing industry and also affects the overall efficiency of the digital economy.

We need to strengthen the systematic layout, increase the supply of key standards; deepen testing and verification, promote the implementation and effectiveness of standards; promote international cooperation, and enhance the global influence of standards. By improving the standard system and strengthening ecological coordination, we can safeguard the high-quality development of the computing power industry, \"said Nan Xinsheng.

Accelerating the research and development of core technologies and deepening collaborative innovation among industry, academia, research, and application is an inevitable choice for building a secure, controllable, and advanced computing power system.

Han Xia said that it is necessary to speed up the construction of the Computational Internet Test Network and tackle key technical problems, and support the low latency, highly reliable computing service capability. Promote the standardized development of the computing power service market, improve the public computing power identification system, promote a unified market, carry out joint research and development around technological shortcomings, and provide stable and efficient computing power support for "artificial intelligence+manufacturing".

Shen Linjiang, President of the Inspur Computing Network Research Institute, believes that with the deepening of the "East West Computing" project, computing power has become the core support of new quality productivity in the digital economy era. Breaking down the barriers of heterogeneous computing power and achieving efficient cross-regional scheduling are key propositions for industrial upgrading. Inspur Communication focuses on the pain points of ubiquitous and heterogeneous computing resources, driven by technological innovation and practical implementation, to build a network of computing power that is "diverse computing power that can be aggregated, heterogeneous computing power that can be scheduled, and computing power services that can be reached".

In Shen Linjiang's view, the interconnection of computing power requires strengthening multi-level computing power and network management, cross-domain computing network collaborative scheduling, integrated computing network security control, high-throughput data transmission, and other technological integration innovations, promoting the transformation from "any computing power, any service" to "integrated computing power, integrated service".

Wu Hequan believes that in the future, it is necessary to focus on the core proposition of computing power interconnection, strengthen technological innovation and ecological coordination, complement high-end computing power weaknesses, promote the transformation of computing power resources from scale construction to efficient services, and build an autonomous, controllable, universal, easy-to-use, green and safe computing power Internet ecosystem.

Expand integration scenarios

China has made significant breakthroughs in the interconnection of computing power facilities, with continuous enhancement of platform aggregation capabilities and continuous release of industrial value through integrated applications.

Han Xia stated that we need to promote the large-scale application of computing power in enterprise-level scenarios such as scientific computing, industrial simulation, and remote healthcare, and cultivate new consumer-level formats such as intelligent driving, cloud rendering, and cloud gaming. Through pilot demonstrations, summarize replicable fusion application models and accelerate their promotion. Create an open and collaborative industrial environment that supports innovation in cross-regional and cross-industry computing power services.

In this process, enterprises are providing specific technological paths for the improvement of computing infrastructure and the prosperity of application ecosystems through deep digitization of complex scenarios.

Shen Linjiang introduced that Inspur Communication is building an integrated computing power network global operation support center, which uses ubiquitous computing power integrated intelligent access technology to realize the construction and integration of computing power centers into a single network; Integrating reinforcement learning with decision-based large-scale models to construct a dynamic and efficient cross-regional scheduling system that adapts to real-time changes in computing power and demand; Simultaneously achieving seamless cross-domain migration of multiple types of applications and building a solid defense line for full-process security control. At present, relevant technical achievements have been implemented in communication, industrial Internet, and other fields, providing efficient computing support for film and television rendering, intelligent manufacturing, and other scenes, helping enterprises speed up their digital transformation, and injecting solid power into the construction of the national integrated computing system.

Daisy (Shanghai) Software integrates computing power resources from 10 regions around the world, builds a cloud-based research and development platform, integrates over 400 simulation tools, supports high-intensity tasks such as automotive collision safety analysis and chip design verification, and achieves global collaborative research and development. Zeng Congxin, General Manager of Daxi (Shanghai) Software Co., Ltd., introduced that high-precision and multidisciplinary simulation applications are typical computationally intensive scenarios, and their popularity and deep application cannot be separated from powerful, easily accessible, and cost-controllable computing power support.

"Computational Internet has been initially applied in artificial intelligence, scientific computing, cloud computing and other fields. It is necessary to further explore the construction of the Computational Internet system, accelerate the interconnection of public computing resources, achieve point access to all computing services, give play to the advantages of application scenarios, and promote the interconnection of computing to comprehensively support the deep integration of AI in all sectors of China's economy and society," Yu Xiaohui said.

Han Xia said that this year is the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan", and China's computing internet construction will shift from a pilot breakthrough to a new stage of deepening application. It is necessary to strengthen overall coordination, improve rules and standards, speed up technological breakthroughs, deepen scenario empowerment, and accelerate the construction of a unified, open, competitive, and orderly national computing service market.
