SHANGHAI, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 kicked off in Shanghai, The HUAWEI AIDC Facility Summit was held alongside the event. Huawei unveiled its grid-interactive AIDC solution, setting a new paradigm for AI infrastructure to maximize tokens per watt.

Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power, delivered the opening speech at the summit. He shared four insights on architectural innovation and systematic design to address AIDC construction challenges such as power acquisition, power quality, rack power supply and heat dissipation, and engineering delivery.

First, innovative power architecture and liquid cooling ensure stable power supply and efficient heat dissipation, delivering comprehensive reliability and efficiency. Second, a multi-layer hybrid energy storage system absorbs local power fluctuations, enhancing AIDC power quality and grid-friendliness. Third, electricity-compute synergy and supply-consumption interaction enable AIDCs to transform from rigid loads to an integral part of the new power system. Fourth, construction mode innovation and modular, prefabricated, and product-based delivery significantly shorten the lead time.

Mr. Hou emphasized that maximizing tokens per watt and minimizing costs per token will be the core competitiveness of compute factories.

Huawei Grid-Interactive AIDC Solution Unveiled

Bob He, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power, stated that as the share of renewable energy grows, the power grid exhibits stronger features of power electronics. Coupled with the rapid and severe power fluctuations of AI workloads, compute and energy infrastructure are no longer decoupled but deeply coordinated. By leveraging “3+1” innovations, Huawei builds a grid-interactive AIDC solution that is highly reliable, energy-efficient, fast to deliver, and grid-friendly to maximize tokens per watt.

In the watt domain, Huawei proposes a future-oriented MIMO power supply architecture. To address industry challenges, Huawei has launched the grid-interactive AIDC 1.0 solution. By integrating grid-friendly UPS, intelligent lithium batteries, and grid-forming energy storage systems, the solution enables AIDC to adapt to and support the power grid while smoothing AI workload fluctuations. In the heat field, Huawei launched an AI-powered liquid cooling system, predict the health of working fluids, and facilitate predictive maintenance.

According to Mr. He, Huawei’s unique advantage lies in its end-to-end energy and full-stack AI capabilities.

Compute-Electricity Synergy: Establishing a Solid Foundation for the AI Era

Booming AI has brought about a sharp increase in tokens, posing higher requirements on AI infrastructure. Xia Qin, Chief Expert in Huawei Computing Strategy Planning, noted that AIDC is evolving toward an integrated, coordinated compute-network-storage architecture, and energy is fundamental to infrastructure. An energy system that is highly reliable, energy-efficient, and rapidly deployable allows hyperscale AI compute clusters to operate reliably, establishing a solid foundation for large-scale training and inference in the agentic era.

Traditional data centers have limited interaction with the power grid. However, AI workloads are prone to high-frequency changes, which can easily cause grid operation issues such as grid disconnection and unstable wideband oscillation. Josh Chen, Founder & Chairman of VNET Group, stated that power sources, campuses, and buildings can be redefined to enable mutual support among power sources, scheduling within campuses, and DC power supply for buildings. This will create a new power system centered on direct green power connection and active microgrids, ensuring reliable and stable power supply for GW-level AIDC.

Lin Hai, General Manager of Intelligent Computing Center, SenseCore Business Group at SenseTime, elaborated on the efficiency evolution of SenseTime intelligent computing from PUE to TPW at the summit. SenseCore is driving the transformation of IDC from energy efficiency management centered on power usage effectiveness (PUE) to end-to-end efficiency management centered on tokens per watt, which directly connects power consumption with token output, covering the entire chain from power plants and grids to IDC rack services, computing cloud services, and model services. It’s a metric that reflects the essence of AI production. Through end-to-end optimization, SenseCore has improved the TPW by 80%.

At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei showcased its grid-interactive AIDC solution and one-stop AI inference solution, to build a computing foundation that is highly reliable, energy-efficient, and fast to deliver for AI cluster infrastructure.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Under the DUO POWER BOOST theme, Clivet made the global debut of its Next-Gen Magnetic Levitation Technology at AI Infra Summit 2026 in Santa Clara, California. The company also presented a portfolio of cooling sources, liquid cooling distribution, and supporting products for data centers, alongside a joint power-and-cooling coordination solution with CLOU.

According to the company, rising AI computing densities are placing growing pressure on data center cooling, with high-temperature performance degradation, energy efficiency bottleneck, and reliability risks as key challenges. General-purpose cooling technologies can no longer meet the specific needs of data centers, driving demand for AIDC-optimized thermal management solutions.

The portfolio’s core is Clivet’s next-generation magnetic levitation compressor, built on the DUO POWER BOOST dual-rotor variable-speed architecture. In a two-stage compression structure, two rotors and their impellers can adjust speed independently based on operating conditions, adapting to different flow rates and pressure ratios. According to Clivet, this design brings data center load variations, water temperature conditions, and system operating strategies into cooling source design, supporting optimization under complex conditions.

Addressing cooling needs across the data center, Clivet displayed a portfolio comprising magnetic levitation cooling sources, magnetic CDUs, high-capacity CDUs, fan walls, and terminal units. The air-cooled magnetic levitation chiller serves facility-side cooling, while the magnetic CDU combines cooling source and liquid cooling distribution functions.

A high-capacity CDU displayed at the event handles secondary-side heat exchange and distribution, with capacity ranging up to 3 MW (at 3K approach temperature difference, ATD) or 5 MW (at 5K ATD). Predictive temperature control keeps fluctuations within ±0.5°C, while key components support online replacement, helping ensure continuous operation in high-availability environments.

Through different product combinations, the solution can be configured according to project climate conditions, rack density, and supply requirements.

In addition, Clivet and CLOU jointly demonstrated a power-and-cooling coordination solution for AI workloads. CLOU provided energy storage and power delivery capabilities, while Clivet delivered thermal management products and solutions for high-density computing environments. For high-density computing projects, power configuration, thermal design, space layout, and operation and maintenance planning need to be considered simultaneously in the early stages of a project.

Coordinated planning of power and cooling aims to help customers assess the relationships between different infrastructure links from a system perspective, providing a reference for subsequent solution design and engineering delivery.

From a portfolio covering facility-side, liquid-cooling, and outdoor heat rejection stages, to the power-and-cooling coordination showcase, and to the launch of the next-generation magnetic levitation compressor, Clivet’s appearance at the event presented its technology and product layout for data center thermal management.

BEIJING, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The following article was published today by China Daily.

In the past, it was widely agreed that Chinese was difficult to learn. Today, however, Chinese has a special appeal, and learning it feels like opening the door to a fresh new world. On TikTok, a video by Chinese American Sherry Zhu turned drinking hot water, wearing cotton slippers and brewing goji berries into a global trend, gaining her 740,000 followers in months. One user even memorized the character “呢” by breaking it into “o-p-t”, to the delight of commenters. Chinese is moving from the classroom into everyday life worldwide. In many countries, even knowing Chinese can mean landing a well-paid job.

The numbers bear this out. According to China’s Ministry of Education, 90 countries have incorporated Chinese into their national education systems, with nearly 210 million learners and users worldwide. In the first half of this year, 564,000 candidates sat for the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) globally, up 36 percent year on year.

Of course, economics is not the only driver. At this year’s Chinese Bridge competition, Vietnam’s Le Van Dai started with a self-study handbook, writing the character “我” a hundred times before Chinese poetry carried him all the way to the stage, “Tang and Song verse nourished my heart”, he says.

Togo’s Wang Jiayi discovered Chinese through martial artist Jackie Chan films, and later saw a different China in the TV series Meet Yourself — “those stories made my imagination of China more concrete day by day”.

American contestant Ma Siwei calls himself a “challenge addict” who picked Chinese precisely because it is hard, teaching himself the bamboo flute and hulusi through online videos, and once performed Spring Festival Overture at a China-US concert.

Australia’s Ava Gibbons visited China with her parents at the age of 12 and has studied the language for seven years. She performed a fish-lantern dance in hanfu and says the journey “closed the distance between me and China — not on the map, but between hearts”.

Brazil’s Song Yinuo stood on the Chinese Bridge stage for the first time, climbing the Great Wall and telling her teacher excitedly. For her, the competition was never just a contest but “real, vivid experiences” — “I came to know China through its language, met friends through conversation, and in each hands-on experience saw a bigger world and my own future”.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Chinese Bridge. Over the years, the competition has drawn Chinese-language enthusiasts from around the world. Right now, the secondary and primary school competitions are taking place in Tianjin, bringing together young people from over a hundred countries to make friends and see China through its language.

Twenty-five years ago, Chinese Bridge was just a competition. Today, it has become a phenomenon. When 210 million people learn Chinese, they are not merely absorbing grammar and vocabulary — they are encountering a China that is engaging with the world in ways both deep and daily. And through the eyes of these young people, China is being seen more clearly, and more truthfully, by the world.
