DeepSeek Targets 1-GW AI Data Center in Inner Mongolia to Expand Computing Capacity
DeepSeek is building a new 1-gigawatt artificial intelligence data center in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, representing the largest single compute campus currently proposed by a Chinese artificial intelligence company.
The company will lease additional processing capacity outside the campus and aims to bring at least part of the facility online by late 2027 or early 2028. While details on the specific processor models remain undefined, the expansion is intended to help the firm maintain competitive momentum in global artificial intelligence development.

@teortaxestexIsn't this obvious just their job listings? First clear mention of gigawatt-class target is from early June, iirc. First rumors of Inner Mongolia are from February.
