Huawei reportedly testing 256K-card Atlas-950 SuperPoD aiming for million-card compute

Blogger tphuang claims Huawei is building and testing a 256K-card Atlas-950 SuperPoD supernode, aiming to make a million processors operate as one computer, and predicts China will have 6-7 frontier AI labs within two years with models scaling to 10-40T parameters. TeortaxesTex is skeptical: China can build datacenter shells faster than the US, but actually having the cards is another matter — announced AIDCs remain mostly on paper.
