Shanghai Stakes a Claim to 120 ExaFLOPS of Smart Compute and Pitches Space–Ground 'Supernode' Architecture

Shanghai announced that its aggregate smart‑compute capacity has surpassed 120,000 petaFLOPS and outlined an agenda to build a self‑reliant compute ecosystem linking domestic chips, models and cloud services. Officials and industry groups also floated an integrated space–ground architecture that would treat LEO satellites as programmable compute clusters to achieve global, low‑latency coverage for selected applications.
