Chinese AI chipmaker Iluvatar CoreX unveiled its first supernode system, the Tiangai 300 IXL144, on Monday 12 October 2026 at the China International Industry Fair in Shanghai. According to the company, the system packs 144 GPUs, 18 CPUs and around 10.1 terabytes of memory into a single cabinet. Iluvatar said its efficiency efforts could lower the cost per 1 million valid tokens by 40 per cent compared with “mainstream international alternatives”.

Why it matters

US export controls continue to restrict Chinese access to advanced Nvidia chips, and the South China Morning Post reports that interconnected cabinet systems are increasingly seen as a way to scale computing power.
