Epoch AI estimates that Huawei's Horinger AI data center in Inner Mongolia has about 81,000 H100-equivalents of AI compute, with a 90% range of 36,000 to 141,000.

The estimate uses satellite imagery of cooling equipment and public sources, and Epoch AI says it is about 7% of xAI's Colossus 2 in Tennessee.

Epoch AI expects the campus to reach about 141,000 H100-equivalents by early 2028, when a new building with Ascend 950 chips comes online.

    Epoch AI estimates Huawei's Horinger data center at 7% of Colossus 2

    AIHuawei’s AI data center in Horinger, Inner Mongolia, is one of the largest in China by AI computing capacity. Yet it has just 7% as much computing capacity as the world’s largest AI data center, Colossus 2 in Tennessee. This capacity estimate is from our new report examining the Horinger facility and Huawei’s broader AI infrastructure plans using satellite imagery and public sources.

    Bar chart titled "Huawei Horinger has 7% as much AI compute as the largest AI data center". AI computing capacity in H100-equivalents, with 90% confidence intervals: Colossus 2 (United States) at about 1.1 million, Huawei Horinger (China) at about 80,000.
