On March 2, 2026, Jin Hai, Chairman of the Global Computing Consortium (GCC), Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, on behalf of GCC and the GCC Open AI Infra Community, jointly launched the “Global Initiative for AIDC Ecosystem Co-Creation” with global industry partners. GCC experts also interpreted the AIDC Infrastructure Specification. As China’s first international industry and standards organization in the computing field, this global statement marks an important step for GCC to share China’s achievements in intelligent computing infrastructure standards with the global computing power industry. It is also a key move for GCC to gather global forces and promote the standardized and ecosystem-oriented development of intelligent computing infrastructure, providing strong computing power support for the high-quality development of the global digital economy.

Guests attending the initiative ceremony included Jin Shuangwu, President of Data Center Energy and Critical Power Marketing and Sales Service at Huawei Digital Power; Gevorg Yengibaryan, CEO of Armenia’s Fnet Telecom; Nacho Velilla, CEO of Tenplus; Shavkat Sabirov, Chairman of the Internet Association of Kazakhstan; and Hu Yunchao, Board Member of the Open Edge and HPC Initiative. The appearance of the specification in Barcelona was not only a precise response to the pain points in global AI computing infrastructure development, but also a way to convey, through the GCC platform, the concept of collaborative co-construction, openness, and win-win development in intelligent computing. It also helps China’s intelligent computing infrastructure standards go global and become an important bridge connecting the global computing power ecosystem.

I. Global Pain Points Amid the Computing Power Boom: GCC Provides a Systematic Solution

At present, global AI computing power demand is growing exponentially, and the parameter scale of large models is increasing by leaps and bounds. The traditional IDC paradigm can no longer adapt to the high fluctuation and high-density characteristics of AI workloads, while power supply, distribution, and cooling capabilities are reaching their limits. At the same time, the world lacks dedicated specifications for high-density AI rack-scale systems. The industry remains fragmented, with serious resource waste. Rapid equipment iteration, insufficient flexibility and compatibility of infrastructure, and long delivery cycles have become common challenges facing the global computing power industry.

Against this background, the GCC Open AI Infra Community has gathered leading forces across the global industrial chain and worked with multiple leading internet and liquid cooling companies, chip and server suppliers, and data center component suppliers to jointly compile the AIDC Infrastructure Specification.

Chairman Jin Hai stated that the release of this specification is a key measure by GCC to directly address global AI computing power demand and solve industry pain points. From the beginning, the specification established both short-term and long-term goals. In the short term, it focuses on clarifying the core technical requirements of high-density AIDC and meeting the global demand for single-rack power evolution to 300kW over the next three to five years. In the long term, it focuses on building a new generation of flexible, compatible, efficient, and low-carbon computing infrastructure foundation, laying a solid infrastructure basis for the leapfrog development of the global AI industry.

The AIDC Infrastructure Specification takes “decoupling the data hall and the rack” as its core design concept. It is divided into five collaborative modules: building, power supply and distribution, cooling, cabling, and delivery operations and maintenance. It establishes four design principles: forward-looking design, safety and reliability, elastic scalability, and economic efficiency, building a technical system that covers the full lifecycle of intelligent computing infrastructure.

This specification fills the global gap in dedicated specifications for high-power AIDC. By adopting decoupling and modular delivery, it reduces capital expenditure and shortens construction cycles. By integrating technologies such as liquid cooling and high-voltage direct current, it reduces energy loss. It has become the world’s first systematic infrastructure technical blueprint for AI data centers.

II. Chairman Jin Hai Releases a Global Initiative to Co-Create the Global Intelligent Computing Ecosystem

Chairman Jin Hai formally launched the “Global Initiative for AIDC Ecosystem Co-Creation” in Barcelona on behalf of GCC. The initiative states that GCC takes promoting the collaborative development of the computing power industry as its mission, while the Open AI Infra Community focuses on specification development in multiple areas including infrastructure, liquid cooling, and power supply.

However, countries and regions around the world differ in energy structures, policy orientations, and application scenarios. There is no one-size-fits-all standard. Only by being rooted in regional needs and aligned with industrial realities can standards truly empower the development of the global digital economy.

Based on this, Chairman Jin Hai, on behalf of GCC, issued three core initiatives to the global industry:

1. Jointly build the AIDC specification and standards system

By taking into account policies, environments, and technical needs across different regions of the world, continuously improve the AIDC Infrastructure Specification, enhance the regional compatibility of the standard, and promote the standardized and regulated construction and operation of AIDC worldwide.

2. Share global practical experience in intelligent computing infrastructure

Relying on GCC’s global cooperation platform, break down industrial and technical barriers, incorporate excellent construction and operation cases from countries and enterprises into specification iteration, build a dynamically updated global knowledge base for intelligent computing infrastructure, and realize shared outcomes.

3. Jointly build an open and win-win global AIDC industrial ecosystem

Using specifications as a link, deepen cross-regional global collaboration among industry, academia, and research, promote the standardization and generalization of core components for intelligent computing infrastructure, break down industry barriers, and cultivate an open and compatible global AIDC industrial ecosystem.

Chairman Jin Hai emphasized: “The vitality of specifications lies in collaborative co-creation, and the future of the industry lies in openness and win-win cooperation. The Global Initiative for AIDC Ecosystem Co-Creation is only the beginning. Taking this global statement in Barcelona as an opportunity, GCC will continue to gather global wisdom and industrial forces, making the initiative an important link for collaborative development across the global computing power industry, promoting the high-quality development of global intelligent computing infrastructure, and injecting strong momentum into the globalization of the digital economy.”

In the future, GCC will continue to promote the global implementation, iteration, and optimization of the AIDC Infrastructure Specification. Taking the 2026 Open AI Infra Summit as an exchange platform, GCC will bring together global experts and enterprise representatives to jointly explore new directions for technological innovation and ecosystem development in intelligent computing infrastructure, and work with global partners to build a new global intelligent computing industry ecosystem.

The Global Computing Consortium, abbreviated as GCC, is China’s first international industry and standards organization in the computing field. It was jointly initiated by technology providers, manufacturers, system integrators, enterprise users, research institutes, and other stakeholders in the computing field. With the vision of “new computing empowering the digital and intelligent society,” and guided by the values of “openness, innovation, collaboration, and win-win,” GCC is committed to promoting open innovation in the computing industry, building a robust and prosperous ecosystem, and supporting the sustainable development of the digital and intelligent society.

The Open AI Infra Community is an open collaboration platform for full-stack intelligent computing infrastructure in the AI era. It is committed to linking major users with core technology providers through an open co-creation model, working with upstream and downstream partners across the industrial chain to advance technical specification development and solution implementation, building an open, efficient, and win-win computing power ecosystem for the AI era, and jointly creating a prosperous data center ecosystem.
