Epoch AI estimates Huawei Horinger data center at 81,000 H100-equivalents
Overview
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.
