Open AI Infra Community Unveils a Series of Major Achievements to Build an Open and Innovative Ecosystem for AI Computing Infrastructure

On July 3, the "SuperPod and GW-Class AIDC Technology Forum and Open AI Infra Community Mid-Year Working Meeting," guided by the Global Computing Consortium (GCC) and hosted by the GCC-Open AI Infra Community (OAII), was successfully held. The event focused on key AI infrastructure technologies including SuperPods, GW-class AI data centers (AIDCs), liquid cooling, DC 800V power supply and distribution, and high-speed interconnect. The event released five technical specifications and two research reports, officially launched the OPEN NPO project, and held an appointment ceremony for community project managers — further improving the AI infrastructure standards system and open collaboration innovation mechanism, and injecting new momentum into high-quality industry development.

GCC Achievements | Technical Specification of HiFloat8 Data Format Officially Released (Download Attached)

On June 23, 2026, the Global Computing Consortium (GCC) officially released and implemented the group standard Technical Specification of HiFloat8 Data Format. Targeting intelligent computing training and inference scenarios, the standard is the first to systematically specify the technical requirements of the HiFloat8 floating-point data format, providing the intelligent computing industry with a unified and open new 8-bit floating-point data format specification. Balancing dynamic range, numerical precision, and engineering efficiency, it further promotes the coordinated development of the AI software and hardware ecosystem.

GCC Intelligent Computing Industry Development Group Pilots a Power-Industry Operator Library, Exploring a New Path for Domestic Computing in Industry Applications

On June 13, the "Smart Stone City · Innovation Together" Showcase Conference on Power Intelligent Inspection Achievements Based on Domestic AI Computing Architecture was successfully held in Shihezi, Xinjiang. The event marked the launch of the first power-industry operator library pilot built on Ascend CANN, jointly developed by the Intelligent Computing Industry Development Group (ICIDG) of the Global Computing Consortium (GCC) and its member, Hangzhou Tianking Technology Co., Ltd. Centered on this pilot, the GCC ICIDG shared joint industry practices and a co-construction plan covering the domestic computing ecosystem, the implementation of intelligent computing in industry, and the joint development of industry operator libraries.

CEIC 2026 Preparatory Meeting Held in Shenzhen: Innovative Enterprises Jointly Define New Trends in Consumer Electronics

On June 24, the preparatory meeting for the 2026 Consumer Electronics Innovation Congress (CEIC 2026) was held at the Shenzhen Civic Center. The meeting brought together innovative enterprises and representatives of international standards and industry organizations from frontier sectors including communications, semiconductors, embodied intelligence, digital health, the low-altitude economy, and ultra-high-definition audio-visual technology. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on four core topics: industry-trend forecasting, the implementation of new-technology ecosystems, the design of the parallel forum framework, and the planning of signature events. Attendees reached a unified consensus on new trends in the consumer electronics industry under the comprehensive drive of artificial intelligence. Enterprise representatives shared insights based on their commercial practices across different technology domains, providing practical references for the top-level planning and content delivery of this annual innovation gathering.
