China’s 2,000‑km AI Super‑Network Goes Live
Les Numériques reports that Beijing has completed the Future Network Test Facility (FNTF), a 2,000‑km optical backbone linking 40 cities and unifying the country’s dispersed super‑computers into a virtually single installation. Engineers claim the system achieves nearly 98 % of the efficiency of a centralized data centre, a leap that could slash training times for models with hundreds of billions of parameters. The rollout, finished in early December, positions China to dominate large‑scale AI research and commercial deployment.

The findings could reshape theories about the island’s cultural and political evolution.
