MetaX Plans 10,000-GPU Cluster in Shanghai Lingang with C550 or C600
English summary
MetaX is advancing a 10,000-GPU cluster project at Shanghai Lingang, with the final choice between the existing C550 and the newer C600 GPU. The company has already delivered a full-scale domestic AI cluster and reported ¥743M in 2024 revenue, with over 25,000 C500 chips sold to major clients like China Telecom, Alibaba, and Tencent. A separate Wuxi-based 10,000-GPU cluster using C550 cards is now operational. The industry is shifting from training-centric deployments to inference, as China's inference demand is roughly 8× training demand. MetaX is also preparing for an H-share listing in Hong Kong, while supply chain and 7nm production capacity remain key constraints.
Chinese summary
沐曦正在上海临港推进一个万卡GPU集群项目，最终将选择曦云C550或新一代C600方案。该公司此前已交付超万卡规模国产智算集群，2024年营收7.43亿元，C500芯片累计销量超2.5万颗，获中国电信、阿里、腾讯等头部企业批量采购。无锡另一采用C550的万卡集群已投入实际运营。行业重心正从训练转向推理，国内推理需求约为训练的8倍。沐曦日前宣布拟赴港上市，但供应链尤其是7纳米产能仍是主要挑战。
