Gongji Technology says shifting AI compute to cheaper power is hard to do at scale
Overview
Gongji Technology founder and CEO Fu Zhi says computing tasks can move between data centers to use cheaper electricity, though the electricity itself cannot be moved.
Gongji CTO Xu Zhongzihen says migration requires preloading models and images and adapting hardware, and that current scheduling does not yet respond to real-time grid electricity prices.
Fu says many Chinese data centers gain little from load adjustment, so the model has not yet formed a large-scale commercial loop. The reporting, from Leiphone (雷峰网), contains no figures on savings or migration costs.

AIGongji Technology founder and CEO Fu Zhi says computing tasks can move between data centers to use cheaper electricity, unlike the power itself. Gongji CTO Xu Zhongzihen says migration requires preloading models, images, and hardware adaptation, and that current scheduling does not yet reflect real-time grid electricity prices. Fu says many Chinese data centers gain little from load adjustment, so the model has not yet formed a large-scale commercial loop.
