The world's largest distributed AI computing pool has been activated in China, capable of achieving 98 per cent of the efficiency of a single data centre. With the distant computing centers connected, the systems work together almost as efficiently as a single giant computer.

Known as the Future Network Test Facility (FNTF), the system began operations on December 3. The large-scale, distributed AI-computing network links data centres spread across roughly 2000 km using a high-speed optical network, allowing them to operate almost like a single supercomputer.
