China's SuperX AI Technology weighing massive 1 GW data center project build in Kazakhstan

China's SuperX AI Technology is evaluating a massive 1 GW data center project in Kazakhstan, according to reports from Kursiv Media. The company is in the weighing phase for what would be a significant infrastructure build.

The gigawatt-scale facility underscores the expansion of Chinese AI infrastructure beyond domestic borders into Central Asia. Kazakhstan has emerged as a strategic location for data center development, offering geographic diversity and potentially favorable energy or regulatory conditions for compute-intensive operations. A 1 GW deployment would constitute material capacity for AI model training and inference workloads.

The project remains under consideration rather than approved, though it signals SuperX's capital ambitions in the AI infrastructure race as Chinese companies seek alternatives to U.S.-dominated compute ecosystems.
