Envision's Ulanqab Xinghe base goes live with the world's largest AI computing 'super unit'

Envision Group announced on August 6 that it has built what it calls the world's largest AI computing "super unit" in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, marking the official launch of its Envision Ulanqab Xinghe base. The facility, reported by Chinese tech outlet QbitAI, is a super computing hub built in the Gobi region, powered by a very high share of directly connected green electricity, and positioned as the first flagship project of Envision's "Gobi Mission."

In scale terms, the super unit spans about 120,000 square meters (roughly 20 standard soccer fields) and is designed for million-card parallel computing at million-P scale. Envision says it is the single AI data center with the strongest token output capacity in the world, setting a new record for AI infrastructure density.

The Xinghe base has a total planned capacity of more than 2GW and is set to become China's largest AI computing park and "token factory." As domestic AI computing moves toward 100,000-card and even million-card interconnects, the base is designed to host large-scale deployments of domestic AI chip clusters at a single site, offering a replicable blueprint for homegrown compute.

Power is the backbone of a million-card facility, and Envision's AI power system provides a dedicated "energy highway" and "power granary" for the super unit. The company says the base can deliver up to 10 times the compute output of a traditional data center of the same footprint, and will keep resetting global density records.

The Ulanqab location was chosen deliberately. The city is one of eight nodes in China's "East Data, West Computing" national project, giving it strong network latency advantages for real-time compute workloads, and the region's green electricity share is among the highest in the country at 67%. The base draws on locally built wind farms and dedicated transmission lines for direct green power supply.

Zheng Zihao, general manager of Envision's AIDC business, said Chinese chips are taking a path of cluster-based breakthroughs, and that the super unit provides domestic compute clusters with deployment space, power supply, and energy logistics — "the strongest assist for China's computing boom."

The "Gobi Mission" was formally unveiled at the VivaTech conference in France in June 2026, with a goal of building 5GW of green AI computing capacity in desert regions worldwide by 2030. The Ulanqab Xinghe base is the first step of that mission and a showcase for exporting Chinese AI data center solutions.
