English stories on Chinese technology for overseas readers — why it matters, whether you can use it, and what it changes.
Latest
AI · SystemsBAAI’s open multi-chip stack: FlagGems Triton ops, vLLM/SGLang plugins, ARM CPU paths, NVIDIA TileIR in the same toolkit. Useful if you hate N×M adapter hell — not a drop-in CUDA replacement.
AI · MathShanghai AI Lab’s Intern-S2 helped prove the codimension-one Ghys conjecture. Paper on arXiv, Lean on GitHub — model weights not public. Assisted ideas; humans verified.
Space · AI ComputeZhuQue-2E lofted AdaSpace Star Computing Group 02 and Guangzhou’s Pazhou compute sats. First networking ~50 PFLOPS-class — demo/infra, not a consumer API yet.
AI · AudioMiDashengLM-Spatial tells you what a sound is and which direction it came from. 8B parameters, Apache 2.0, weights on Hugging Face — a free base for hearing-aid, robot and car apps.
Energy · StorageHuadian’s Xinjiang Mulei plant is China’s first 100 MW / 1000 MWh-class compressed-CO₂ storage — cavern-free, closed-loop. A demo signal for overseas LDES, not a product you order tomorrow.
Hardware · AI PCsBeijing JD MALL packed for thin Windows AI/gaming laptops on Grace-Blackwell — not the DGX Spark Linux box. Overseas from ~$2,600; China JD from ~¥18,999.
Policy · AIMOFCOM opened consultation on 23 AI items in the tech export catalogue. APIs and SaaS stay out of scope — on-prem localization of restricted models does not.
Memory · ServersA denser Chinese server DIMM is promised for end-2026. Not retail yet — but more qualified DRAM supply would matter for AI racks worldwide.
Chips · Edge AIA Chinese edge chip and Shenzhen’s MaixStation aim at NVIDIA’s personal AI workstation — with a Kickstarter path for overseas buyers later in 2026.
