Baidu released the Tianchi 1024 card super node, which will be launched in the market next year

On November 12, at the Baidu World 2026 Conference, Baidu released the Tianchi 1024 card super node, which is planned to be launched next year. This super node uses optical engine technology to achieve full optical interconnection, supports collaboration of 1024 cards, with inter-card bandwidth increased by 3 times compared to the previous generation, training performance improved by 2.5 times, and inference performance enhanced by 3 times.

The accompanying G3.5 KV Cache video memory acceleration cabinet can double the long context inference performance, reduce the first token waiting time by 90% in multi-turn dialogue scenarios, and increase overall throughput by 7 times. A single super node can support the training of large models with 50 trillion parameters, and can be scaled up to a cluster of 500,000 cards.

This product was originally scheduled for release in 2028, but this announcement has moved the timeline forward by a year. On the same day, Baidu founder Robin Li revealed that the flagship Kunlun chip model M300 will also be launched next year.
