[China refreshes AI infrastructure density record] September 19th, we often attribute breakthroughs in AI capabilities to chips and models. But every time a model is trained and called, there is a continuously running computer room behind it, and there are also continuous electricity bills. AI competition not only occurs on chips, but also on where the electricity comes from, how the computer room dissipates heat, and how the computing power is dispatched. The Ulanqab Vision Galaxy Base will be put into operation in August 2026. It adopts an ultra-high proportion of green electricity direct connection. With a building volume of 120,000 square meters (about 20 standard football fields), a million-card parallel capacity, and a million-P computing power scale, it has become the single AI data center with the strongest token production capacity in the world, breaking the density record of AI infrastructure. Zhang Lei, founder of Envision Technology Group, hopes to make Token “as cheap as potatoes.” Whether this sentence can be realized still depends on real demand and long-term costs. But Galaxy Base has made an originally abstract problem visible: when AI enters the work and life of more and more people, what determines how far it can go is not only how smart the model is, but also whether everyone can afford it.
