According to a report by CCTV Finance today, China’s first vehicle-mounted mobile token factory recently debuted. Equipped with domestically developed computing power and an energy management system, it can flexibly match artificial intelligence computing needs while exploring a new model for coordinating computing power and electricity. It can both help absorb renewable energy and reduce computing operating costs.
This vehicle-mounted mobile token factory uses a standardized 40-foot container and features an integrated design combining electricity, computing, and cooling, as well as storage, computing, and networking. The cab can use an electric tractor and support the deployment of 9 server cabinets. It has integrated fast interfaces for power and communications, enabling rapid multi-vehicle networking and deployment to form a mobile computing cluster. From on-site connection to completed commissioning and operation, deployment takes just 6-8 hours.
It is reported that with a 120-kilowatt power supply, the vehicle can provide approximately 50P to 100P of computing power, theoretically supporting inference tasks for two domestically developed large models.
When large-scale renewable energy generation produces low-cost electricity, the computing vehicle can move to a substation near the renewable energy source and connect to it, improving renewable energy consumption and reducing computing operating costs. Estimates indicate that connecting computing power through mobile deployment can reduce overall costs by around 25%, enabling the production of more cost-effective token services for various downstream scenarios.
In addition, the vehicle-mounted mobile token factory can enable rapid site-level deployment and provide emergency computing power. It can also supply flexible, nearby computing power during the implementation of large infrastructure projects, meeting urgent needs for flexible, low-latency computing and ensuring that computing power can follow the tokens.
