Huawei Cloud’s Guizhou data center cluster in Guiyang, the provincial capital of Guizhou, is a major hub for training the Pangu (盘古) large model family, which includes language, vision, and scientific AI models. Guizhou was designated China’s “Big Data Valley” due to its cool climate, abundant cheap hydropower, and government incentives for data center development. The facility primarily runs on hydroelectric power from Guizhou’s rivers, giving it a low carbon profile despite large scale. Huawei operates its own Ascend 910 AI accelerator chips here, a strategic response to US export restrictions on NVIDIA hardware. The site supports Huawei’s AI-powered cloud services across the Asia-Pacific region.
