[{"type":"text","content":"QINGDAO, China, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maase Inc. (NASDAQ: MAAS) (“MAAS” or the “Company”) today announced that its consolidated entity, Huazhi Future (Chongqing) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Huazhi Future”), together with China Power Computing Technology Application (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and Sino-International Yuzhi (Chongqing) Technology Co., Ltd., has officially launched the “Stars Distributed Intelligent Computing Center Project” (the “Stars Project”). With a total planned investment of up to RMB5 billion, the project is designed to support Chinese government’s national initiatives of “East-to-West Computing Resource Transfer” and “Xinjiang-to-Chongqing Computing Resource Transfer”. The project aims to build an intelligent computing infrastructure network covering key regions, deliver rapidly deployable standardized computing units and enhance regional computing supply capacity and utilization efficiency. Against the backdrop of the Chinese government’s 15th Five-Year Plan’s push to transform the national computing infrastructure system from “construction-focused” to “operation and secure and controllable-focused,” the Stars Project adopts a forward-looking three-layer collaborative architecture: “dual-core + multi-level edge + unified platform”. This architecture will directly address the challenges of latency, bandwidth costs, and data compliance bottlenecks when deploying AI applications to end-user scenarios such as industrial and urban governance. “Dual-Core + Multi-level Edge Nodes”: Building a Nationally Integrated Agile Computing NetworkThe Stars Project is planned with a construction period of 60 months and will be rolled out in five phases, from pilot validation to large-scale implementation. Its core infrastructure will include: Dual-Core Intelligent Computing Centers (Centralized Training & Inference Hub): The computing centers will be located in Yinchuan, Ningxia, with a planned deployment of 512 high-performance servers, and Yiwu, Xinjiang, with a planned deployment of 256 high-performance servers. The dual-core centers will operate in coordination to provide robust centralized training, inference, and massive data processing capabilities.50–100 Multi-level Edge Nodes (Low-Latency Outposts): These nodes will be deployed in containerized, modular form, enabling “on-site installation, plug-and-play, elastic ...
