Chinese AI developer DeepSeek is planning to construct a significant 1GW data center in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, China. Sources indicate that the facility could begin partial operations by the end of 2027 or early 2028. This development aligns with China's national strategy, the Eastern Data, Western Compute project, which aims to deploy substantial compute infrastructure in the country's western regions. DeepSeek, known for its open-source Large Language Models (LLMs), is reportedly exploring the development of its own AI chips to power its advanced models. The Ulanqab location places the data center within a region designated for large-scale compute infrastructure development.
