Ulanqab Plans 12.5GW, Surpassing OpenAI's Stargate Target

According to Goldman Sachs, Ulanqab, a prefecture-level city in Inner Mongolia, has committed to a total data center capacity of approximately 12.5GW, which exceeds OpenAI's initial target of 10GW for Stargate. However, only about 1.2GW is currently operational. This expansion has primarily occurred in the past year, with over 70% of the capacity commitments made in this timeframe. DeepSeek plans to build approximately 1GW of data centers, while Xiaohongshu is reportedly considering a project of around 600MW. Companies like ByteDance and Alibaba have also entered the market. The area benefits from low land and electricity costs, cold weather, and proximity to Beijing. Dedicated fiber optics have reduced the average latency from Ulanqab to Beijing to under 5 milliseconds.

  • Iranian Parliament Speaker Mocks: U.S. Economic Pressure on Iran Will Backfire

    Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf shared an image on social media platform X, outlining the economic pressures against Iran and the impact of changes in the energy market on the U.S. economy. Referring to recent measures taken by Trump to control U.S. commodity prices, he wrote: 'Importing frozen meat to control meat prices? Well, maybe effective. But what is the U.S. plan for national debt? Want to import “frozen yields”? For the housing market, are you going to introduce “frozen buyers”? To address wage issues, are you going to issue “frozen payrolls”? A rigid and uninnovative foreign policy will lead to a frozen and stagnant economy. What is the only thing still functioning? It is the boomerang of imposing “devastating economic pressure” on Iran, which will ultimately come back to the U.S. itself.' (Jinshi)

  • Fed's Kashkari: U.S. Treasury Market is Operating Normally

    On August 23, Federal Reserve's Kashkari downplayed market concerns over rising U.S. Treasury yields, stating that the market is functioning well and that the recent surge is unlikely to impact discussions on monetary policy. Kashkari said on Sunday, "All signs indicate that the U.S. Treasury market is operating normally, trading is proceeding smoothly, and market liquidity is ample, so we can use the federal funds rate as the primary tool to reduce inflation." Last week, yields on U.S. Treasuries across various maturities rose, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield closing around 4.73%. The 30-year Treasury yield remained near its highest level since 2007. Kashkari noted that while current Treasury yields are relatively high compared to recent historical levels, they are much lower than those in the 1990s. "We need more data, but I don't want to prejudge the outcome of the next meeting," he said, "However, I do not currently believe that inflation will fall back to target levels in the short term."
