For decades, artificial intelligence (AI) has pursued scale: more parameters, more data, more GPUs. That approach delivered rapid breakthroughs but also revealed hard limits in power consumption, cost, and accessibility. In China, a different path is taking shape, one that looks beyond silicon scaling laws to the human brain itself.

As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large model training rapidly increase computing power density, artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are entering a new phase where energy efficiency and thermal management have become decisive factors.

Walt Disney and OpenAI have reached a cooperation agreement under which Disney licenses its classic characters for use on Sora, OpenAI’s video generation platform.
