Shanghai Opens Space Computing Hub Amid Orbital AI Advancements
China has made significant strides in orbital AI compute, deploying 8-billion-parameter AI models in orbit and demonstrating 8-day continuous 100 Gbps laser links. The Three-Body Constellation, developed by Zhejiang Lab and ADA Space, has been running AI models in orbit since May 2025. Shanghai has also inaugurated its first dedicated space-computing industry hub, aiming to anchor the commercial supply chain for in-orbit AI compute. According to the article, China’s domestic space-based computing power industry is projected to surpass ¥250 billion by 2030. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
