China has unveiled a new artificial intelligence system designed to plug directly into its national supercomputing infrastructure and independently carry out advanced scientific research, marking a significant step in the intensifying global race for AI supremacy.
The system, launched on 23 December, is built to operate on China’s National Supercomputing Network (SCNet) — a high-speed digital backbone linking more than 30 supercomputing centres across the country.
According to official information shared at the launch, the AI agent can interpret simple natural language commands and autonomously break down complex research problems, allocate computing resources, run simulations, analyse large datasets, and generate complete scientific reports without continuous human supervision.
Developers say the platform currently supports nearly 100 scientific workflows across areas such as materials science, biotechnology, and industrial artificial intelligence.
Tasks that previously required a full day of computational work can now be completed in roughly an hour, reflecting the scale of processing power available through the integrated network.
SCNet itself was initiated in 2023 as part of China’s push to unify supercomputing and intelligent computing resources nationwide.
