  • Alibaba Cloud's Lingjun Zhenwu M890 supernode instance is now on commercial sale
  • It offers rentable 64-card computing units built entirely on in-house silicon
  • It marks the first time Alibaba has directly sold supernode compute through the public cloud, however availability is limited to the Ulanqab region in Inner Mongolia
