On August 20, the “Intelligent Computing Hefei, Ecosystem Leadership” token-economy ecosystem conference was held in Hefei. At the event, the Hefei Intelligent Computing Clusterofficially went online, becomes Sugonanother practical deployment of AI supercluster technology.In the same period, the National Advanced Computing Industry Innovation Center (Anhui) and the Sugon Anhui headquarters baseofficially is inaugurated.From next-generation computing-power infrastructure to a national platform for technological innovation and industrial application, the two landings will further strengthen Hefei's advanced computing and AI innovation capacity and provide strong support for Anhui's scientific innovation and industrial intelligentization.

▍AI superclusteragain goes live, building the computing-power foundation for the token economy

Development of the token economy depends on computing-power support across the full chain of production, circulation, invocation, and application. As large models and agents land faster, token scale continues to grow, raising higher requirements for the efficiency, stability, and multi-task capacity of computing-power infrastructure, and also driving AI infrastructure is shifting from competing on single-point performance toward greater emphasis on system coordination and overall efficiency.

The Hefei Intelligent Computing Cluster was built by Hefei Big Data Company, adopts Sugon's new-generation AI supercluster technology, achieving independent R&D and coordination across the full chain of “chips, computing, storage, networking, cooling, applications, and services.” Through hardware-software co-design and system-level optimization, it further improves computing, communication, data I/O, and resource-scheduling efficiency, and supports full-precision computing and elastic scaling to better fit different models, frameworks, and workloads, providing stable, efficient computing-power supply for scaled token production, continuous circulation, and high-concurrency invocation.

Unlike computing-power platforms built for a single task, Sugon The AI supercluster achieves native fusion of scientific computing and intelligent computing, uniformly hosting model training and inference, scientific computing, and other tasks. It supports AI for Science and industrial applications in manufacturing, energy, and more, pushing tokens from efficient production toward scaled invocation and scenario deployment, and providing next-generation AI infrastructure for the full token pipeline.

▍The innovation center opens, bringing advanced computing power into industry faster

The National Advanced Computing Industry Innovation Center is a national industrial innovation platform approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2018. Centered on chips, systems, and applications, it focuses on key core-technology breakthroughs, commercialization, and industrial collaboration, accelerating the move of advanced computing from R&D to large-scale application.

The Hefei branch will emphasize application pull.Relying on the locality's strong research foundation and industrial strengths such as “chips, displays, automobiles, and integration,” carrying out hardware-software adaptation, application validation, and solution incubation in scientific intelligence, integrated circuits, advanced displays, and new-energy vehicles, so that advanced computing better matches research innovation and industrial development needs.

Meanwhile, the center will also strengthen its role in gathering the ecosystem.Relying on Sugon's technical accumulation and ecosystem resources in advanced computing, it connects universities, research institutes, and upstream and downstream enterprises, promotes collaborative innovation among chips, systems, software, and industry applications, and drives efficient clustering of technology, products, talent, and scenarios, building an open and collaborative advanced computing industry ecosystem.

From AI supercluster to the National Advanced Computing Industry Innovation Center, Sugon is using a coordinated layout of “computing-power foundation + innovation platform” to support the token economy and AI industry in Hefei and Anhui more broadly.
