A new analysis estimates China's AI compute capacity at approximately 2.8 million H100-equivalent GPUs, a figure derived independently from both supply-side and demand-side calculations. The supply-side approach tallied chip shipments, smuggling, domestic production, and cloud access, while the demand-side method estimated compute needs for inference and training workloads. This convergence of estimates provides a crucial data point for policymakers assessing the effectiveness of export controls on advanced AI chips and understanding China's technological capabilities.
