The Tianjin Artificial Intelligence Computing Center officially opened its doors in Tianjin, China. The center is a joint effort between the Hebei District of Tianjin and Chinese technology giant Huawei. The goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive public computing service to various organizations, such as enterprises, universities, and scientific research institutions, who require large amounts of computing power to run applications using artificial intelligence (AI).

| Tianjin AI Computing Center opens with 100 petaflops of computing power |
The first batch of the center's 100 petaflops of computing power has already been fully deployed, with plans to add another 200 petaflops in the future. A petaflop is a unit of computing speed that represents one quadrillion floating-point operations per second, making this center capable of handling 300 quadrillion operations per second once it is fully operational. To put this in perspective, a regular desktop computer has a computing power of just a few gigaflops, which is a billion floating-point operations per second.
The Tianjin Artificial Intelligence Computing Center is a valuable addition to China's rapidly growing AI industry. The country has been investing heavily in AI in recent years and is quickly becoming a major player in the global AI market. The center's advanced computing capabilities will enable Chinese companies to further develop their AI applications and drive innovation in the industry.
Currently, the center has 58 users under contract. These users include a variety of organizations such as financial institutions, energy companies, and research institutions. With the addition of the new computing power, the center will be able to accommodate more users and offer a wider range of services to meet the growing demand for AI computing power in China.
