DeepSeek Plans 1GW AI Data Center in Inner Mongolia for 2027

DeepSeek to construct 1GW facility in Ulanqab, offering compute rentals. Capacity exceeds current Chinese AI centers but trails US plans.

Woofun AI reports that DeepSeek intends to construct a 1GW artificial intelligence data center in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia. The company will operate the facility independently while leasing computing power to third-party businesses.

Initial capacity is projected to become operational by late 2027 or early 2028. Specific chip configurations remain undisclosed. This 1GW installation will surpass existing domestic AI data centers in scale, though it remains smaller than the 3GW and 5GW facilities planned by US competitors.
