Global Computing Consortium (GCC)

GCC's Ecosystem Continues to Expand

In June, the Global Computing Consortium welcomed 14 new members, including chip innovators such as Lightelligence, Enflame, and Tsingmicro, benchmark international leaders such as ABB and TÜV Rheinland, and research institutions such as Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. From optical interconnect to intelligent computing services, from materials science to testing and certification, a diverse mix of participants is rapidly converging. GCC welcomes its new partners and looks forward to substantive cooperation in joint standards development, technical collaboration, and other areas, jointly promoting the prosperity of the computing industry ecosystem.

GCC-Open AI Infra Community (OAII)

NPO Optical Interconnect Project Workshop Successfully Held

On June 4, the High-Speed Interconnect Project Group of the OAII Community held a themed workshop on the NPO Optical Interconnect Project. More than 120 industry experts from nearly 50 leading enterprises attended, covering the full chain of optical chips, optical engines, connectors, advanced packaging, and full-system AI equipment. At the meeting, several participating enterprises expressed their intention to join the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) alliance of the OAII NPO project, and reached two key industry consensuses: NPO will gradually enter large-scale commercial deployment in 2027–2028, and the drafting of specifications must be planned in advance. Unifying NPO form factors, electrical interfaces, and test metrics is fundamental to resolving multi-source compatibility issues in NPO scenarios.

Upcoming: SuperPod and GW-Class AIDC Technology Forum and Open AI Infra Community Mid-Year Working Meeting

To showcase phased achievements, build industry consensus, and launch key technology projects, the OAII Community will host the "SuperPod and GW-Class AIDC Technology Forum and Open AI Infra Community Mid-Year Working Meeting." The meeting will be held on Friday, July 3, from 09:30 to 18:00 at Beijing Landmark Towers Hotel.

GCC Intelligent Computing Industry Development Group (ICI-DG)

HiFloat Community Official Website and Open-Source Code Repository Officially Launched

As China's first one-stop technical exchange platform dedicated to low-bit AI data formats (HF8 / HF4), the HiFloat Community official website provides users with access to standards, simulation tools, open-source cases, and other resources. The HiFloat open-source code repository further bridges the gap from technical documentation to real development, offering in a single release a quantization simulation tool, model adaptation code, development frameworks, and complete reproducible solutions. Going forward, the community will continue to enrich its technical resources and tools — you are welcome to visit and download.

HiFloat Makes Its European Debut at ISC 2026

From June 22 to 26, ISC High Performance 2026 was successfully held in Germany. During the event, GCC made a high-profile appearance and hosted a series of activities centered on HiFloat, the new generation of low-bit AI data format, including dedicated technical presentations, industry roundtable discussions, and in-depth exchanges at the on-site booth. These comprehensively showcased to Europe's HPC and AI industry and academic communities the latest technical progress of HiFloat across the full spectrum of AI training and inference scenarios, as well as the mature achievements of its ecosystem. The event marks HiFloat's important first appearance in the European market and the international HPC community.

ICME Low-Bit Large-Model Quantization Challenge On-Site Workshop Coming Soon

The ICME 2026 Low-Bit Large-Model Quantization Challenge on-site workshop, hosted by GCC, will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, on July 5. Outstanding participating teams, expert judges, and industry representatives will gather on site to share technical approaches, hands-on experience, and innovative ideas on low-precision computing for large models.

On June 6, the 2026 Confidential Computing Technology and Ecosystem Development Forum — themed on Confidential Computing Technology and Ecosystem for Large Models — was successfully held, hosted by GCC member Nanhu Laboratory and co-organized by the GCC ConfidentialComputing SpecialInterest Group (CC-SIG) and the Huawei Committee of Scientists in the Trusted Domain. The forum focused on technical challenges of confidential computing for large models, innovative solutions across multiple scenarios, and industry trends. It shared cutting-edge results and hands-on cases, building industry consensus and empowering industrial development for compliant and secure deployment of AI and the construction of a trusted computing ecosystem.

Two Standards Approved for Establishment and Entering the Drafting Stage

Technical Requirements and Evaluation Methods for Confidential Computing of Large-Model Cluster Inference aims to standardize the security technical requirements for large-model inference based on confidential computing clusters, providing the industry with unified technical guidance at three levels: cluster infrastructure security, cluster attestation system, and large-model inference engine protection. Participating drafting organizations are being recruited.

Technical Requirements and Evaluation Methods for Building Heterogeneous Confidential Computing Environments standardizes the construction of XPU-based confidential computing environments and unifies the standards for building heterogeneous confidential computing across different approaches.

Both standards have been approved for establishment and have entered the drafting stage. A standards draft workshop will be held in July.
