China Just Dropped an AI Data Center Under the Ocean
China has officially placed an underwater AI data hub off the coast of Shanghai — about 2,000 servers sealed inside submarine‑grade capsules 35 meters below the surface.
Using seawater for natural cooling reportedly slashes energy use by up to 90%, while offshore wind power helps keep the whole thing running. The system is said to handle 7,000+ AI queries per second, showing just how far the global AI race is pushing infrastructure — even straight into the ocean.
