The following is AIbase's in-depth analysis of this significant development.

Reports indicate that the National Supercomputing Internet Platform has integrated Alibaba's Qwen large language model, officially providing the QwQ-32B API service. Users can access up to 1 million tokens free of charge, offering a valuable opportunity for developers and researchers. QwQ-32B is the latest open-source inference model from Alibaba's Tongyi team, demonstrating excellent performance. According to multiple authoritative benchmark tests, QwQ-32B's capabilities rival those of a fully-fledged 671B model.

Against the backdrop of increasing global competition in AI, the EU has officially announced an unprecedented artificial intelligence investment plan. Today at the AI Action Summit in Paris, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen formally unveiled a grand initiative called 'Invest AI', showcasing the EU's strong determination in global AI competition. This investment plan, with a total scale of €200 billion, notably includes a dedicated €20 billion European Fund for the construction of AI gigafactories. This decision marks the EU's official entry into large-scale AI development.

The National Supercomputing Internet Platform recently announced the launch of the "AI Ecosystem Partner Acceleration Program," offering a series of benefits for enterprise users, including three months of free access to the DeepSeek API and supporting it with a computing power resource pool of ten million core hours. It is reported that the platform has completed the deployment of the full version of the DeepSeek model image. Currently, the platform has achieved interconnection with over 20 supercomputing and intelligent computing centers across 14 provinces, aggregating over 6,500 types of computing products, including nearly 2 AI model services.

Over the past one and a half weekends, DeepSeek's influence has been continuously rising, marking several important advancements. The National Supercomputing Internet Platform has officially launched DeepSeek-R1, which supports up to 671B of full functionality. Additionally, T-head's XuanTie chip has successfully adapted to the distilled models of the DeepSeek-R1 series, further expanding the application space on RISC-V architecture CPUs and edge computing platforms. During the Spring Festival, all three major operators have fully connected to DeepSeek.

Oracle has announced the launch of the world's first Zettascale cloud computing cluster. This cluster is equipped with up to 131,072 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, capable of delivering a peak performance of up to 2.4 ZettaFLOPS. This powerful AI infrastructure enables enterprises to process large-scale AI workloads with greater flexibility and sovereignty. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) integrates with NVIDIA's advanced GPU architecture.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched a new High Performance Computing (HPC) management service - AWS Parallel Computing Service, aimed at simplifying the process for businesses to access and utilize supercomputing resources, lowering the barrier to entry. This service utilizes the open-source tool Slurm to manage clusters, allowing users to easily set up and manage clusters of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances on AWS without complex system administrator support. Businesses only need one AWS account to experiment and test the advantages of their workloads in large-scale computing.

On July 9th, Musk announced that his artificial intelligence company xAI is building a supercomputer with 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, expected to be delivered and begin training by the end of this month.
