Is OpenClaw consuming too many tokens, threatening to exhaust global computing power? DM-X's answer is to send computing power into space! A constellation of 2 million computing satellites directly surpasses Musk's SpaceX. Furthermore, the company has also entered the chip manufacturing arena.
On March 11, ahead of the Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE), significant attention was drawn to the progress of the advanced chip technology brand "Xinji Chuanyue" (Interstellar Chip Crossing). The initiative directly targets the core brain of next-generation intelligent technology. Using chips as its vessel, Xinji Chuanyue transcends the boundaries of computing power, arriving directly at the new frontier of intelligence. This is a declaration of war aimed at the global ceiling of computational resources.
Thinking Bolder Than Musk: A 2 Million Satellite Computing Constellation To understand the ambition of Xinji Chuanyue, one must first grasp a stark reality: computing power on Earth is nearly insufficient. A vivid example is the surge in token consumption by global developers on AI Agents since OpenClaw's popularity explosion earlier this year, increasing by dozens of times. Some users reportedly burn through $200 in API fees daily, with one blogger showcasing a monthly bill as high as $3,600. This is merely the tip of the iceberg for a single open-source tool.
In the broader landscape, from the parameter explosion of large models to the nascent stages of embodied intelligence, every leap in AI capability is backed by an exponential consumption of computing power. Computational resources have become the most scarce strategic asset, a core focus of competition between nations and corporations.
Ground-based data centers face three major, seemingly insurmountable bottlenecks: explosive energy consumption—the carbon footprint of training a large model is comparable to hundreds of cars running for a year; severe cooling challenges—chips grow hotter while cooling systems become bulkier; and location constraints—factors like electricity, water, and land availability hinder AI progress.
What is the solution to these dilemmas? Xinji Chuanyue's answer is—send computing power to space! It sounds like science fiction, but Xinji Chuanyue is serious. Its planned space-based computing center will consist of 2 million computing satellites, forming the largest planned computing constellation globally. Leveraging 24/7 solar energy in space, it aims to completely bypass Earth's limitations of land, energy, and environment, providing near-limitless computing support for AGI.
What does the figure of 2 million signify? Consider that Musk's SpaceX plans an orbital data center system with just 1 million satellites. On January 30, 2026, SpaceX formally applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In its application, Musk proclaimed this as the "first step towards a Kardashev Type II civilization," intending to utilize near-constant solar energy in space to replace the massive costs of power and cooling for terrestrial data centers. The FCC accepted the application on February 4, sending shockwaves through the global tech community. Xinji Chuanyue's plan is double the scale of SpaceX's!
Crucially, it's not just about the number of satellites. Relying on leading-edge hardware reinforcement technology and software-level hardening designs, Xinji Chuanyue's system boasts reliability and a lifespan potentially double the industry standard. Utilizing technologies like direct chip cooling with two-phase immersion and deployable radiators, it has created the industry's most advanced thermal management system, achieving the highest power density. This is not merely about "moving servers to space"; it is a full-stack space computing solution encompassing chips, cooling, and protection.
Reportedly, in March 2026, Xinji Chuanyue's first self-developed "Yaotai" series space computing module will be launched, initiating preliminary validation of this interplanetary computing network. Moving from concept to physical product, from blueprint to launch pad, Xinji Chuanyue demonstrates with action that this project is already under solid execution.
If Musk's 1 million satellites represent Silicon Valley's ultimate vision for space computing, then Xinji Chuanyue's 2 million satellites signify China's forward-looking strategic positioning in the space computing domain—not following, but aiming to surpass.
A Full-Front Assault: From General Robotics Chips to Autonomous Driving Xinji Chuanyue's real confidence stems from its product portfolio, which extends beyond the space dimension. From smart homes closely integrated into daily life, to autonomous driving transforming transportation, down to the mobile phone—a terminal touched hundreds of times daily—Xinji Chuanyue is building a comprehensive ecosystem of intelligent computing chips.
The first product line is the "Tianqiong" series SoC for general robotics. As a chip enterprise rooted within its parent group's ecosystem, Xinji Chuanyue showcased what is currently the industry's highest level of integration in an SoC. This chip, through a heterogeneous platform combining multi-core CPU, dedicated NPU, and independent MCU, supports proprietary algorithms for fused LiDAR and AI visual perception, as well as binocular obstacle avoidance, achieving the most precise navigation and obstacle avoidance in complex home environments. Floor-cleaning robots utilizing this chip can genuinely operate without getting stuck and require minimal maintenance. This application might sound niche, yet it represents one of the most tangible deployment scenarios for AI chips, as millions of households constitute a massive computing market.
The second line is mobile phone processors. Xinji Chuanyue plans to develop performance-monster chips through its self-developed GPU IP. Its GPU architecture adopts a design philosophy trickled down from desktop-level performance, effectively compressing the full graphical capability of an ultra-thin laptop into the confines of a mobile phone. It enables full-scene ray tracing at high fidelity, running stably at 120 frames per second with 1.5K resolution. This means smooth video streaming, intensive gaming, and multi-tasking without lag. This aggressive move positions DM-X to directly challenge the strongholds of Qualcomm and MediaTek.
The third line is autonomous driving chips. Xinji Chuanyue introduced the industry's first integrated cockpit and autonomous driving chip, aiming to create the world's most powerful single-chip solution to meet the computational demands of L4 autonomy. However, hardware is merely the skeleton; the true soul lies in integration. This chip deeply integrates DM-X's self-developed multi-modal perception approach, combining vision, LiDAR, and world models. Consequently, vehicles will not only see the road but understand, predict, and ultimately navigate the world.
In summary, these three product lines, combined with the space computing center, form a complete closed loop from "ground terminals" to "space infrastructure." Macroscopically, the general robotics SoC drives business enablement, the mobile and auto chips expand the ecosystem, and the space computing center undertakes the ultimate technological exploration. This reveals a product matrix with commercial logic, practical applications, a technological foundation, and ambitious vision.
The Choice of the Era: The Inevitable Path of Chip Breakthroughs in National Strategy Why is DM-X venturing into chips? Or rather, why now? The answer is—inevitability. Externally, global chip competition has intensified. Internally, China's AI industry is at a critical juncture, transitioning from "usable" to "easy-to-use." This is why the emergence of Xinji Chuanyue aligns perfectly with current national strategic priorities.
Looking at recent policy signals over the past two weeks reveals a pattern too significant to ignore. The Government Work Report delivered on March 5, 2026, explicitly called for building emerging pillar industries like integrated circuits and aerospace, fostering future industries such as embodied intelligence, implementing new infrastructure projects like ultra-large-scale intelligent computing clusters, and accelerating the development of satellite internet.
On March 9, interpretations by the National Development and Reform Commission regarding the draft outline for the 15th Five-Year Plan further clarified the focus on cultivating emerging pillar industries like integrated circuits and aerospace for the medium term, and strategically planning for future industries like embodied intelligence for the long term. The draft outline itself included directives to refine mature process technologies, enhance advanced manufacturing capabilities, and accelerate the development of key equipment, materials, and components for integrated circuits.
Looking further back, the "Action Plan for Promoting High-Quality and Safe Development of Commercial Space (2025–2027)" issued by the China National Space Administration in November 2025 explicitly stated the goal of integrating commercial space into the national space development framework and rapidly forming new, quality productive forces in aerospace. Additionally, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly with seven other departments, pledged support for breakthroughs in key technologies like high-end training chips and edge-side inference chips. The STAR Market has also opened green channels for commercial space enterprises.
Examining these policy signals collectively shows that Xinji Chuanyue is positioned not just in a single sector, but at the intersection of a national-level composite strategy encompassing integrated circuits, intelligent computing, commercial space, and embodied intelligence. Xinji Chuanyue is born at this historic convergence point.
Leveraging the full-stack technical capabilities accumulated by DM-X through years of deep involvement in smart hardware—from high-speed digital motors to intelligent algorithms, from bionic robotic arms to SLAM navigation—along with massive real-world scenario data resources covering over 42 million households across more than 120 countries and regions, Xinji Chuanyue possesses unique advantages that most domestic chip startups lack: it understands not only chips but also the problems chips need to solve.
On a deeper level, the Tsinghua University innovation DNA inherited by DM-X and the technical积淀 from Skyworks have instilled a "zero-to-one"攻坚 spirit from the outset. The team's prior experience in conquering high-speed digital motor technology, achieving parity with international giants at half the cost, has already proven its capability for breakthroughs in core technologies. Now, this capability is extending from motors to chips, from home appliances to space.
DM-X's foray into chip development is not a whim but the inevitable extension of its technological compound interest logic. When a company's technological foundation is sufficiently robust, its data flywheel spins fast enough, and its application scenarios are diverse enough, expanding into the underlying chip layer becomes as natural as a river flowing to the sea. And when this corporate technological demand resonates with national strategic needs, the resulting energy unleashed could surpass all expectations.
Crossing Boundaries: A Long-Term Narrative on Computing Power and Civilization Xinji Chuanyue made its official debut at an industry summit on March 11. On March 12, it will take the stage at AWE 2026. Soon, the "Yaotai" series computing modules will ride a rocket into space. The rapid pace—from brand launch to product showcase, to space validation—is noteworthy.
Chips are the crown jewel of human industrial civilization, and space computing is the pearl on that crown. The ultimate form of AI will undoubtedly be the perfect fusion of algorithms and computing power. Whoever masters the underlying computational resources holds the key to AGI. Terrestrial data centers will eventually hit the ceiling imposed by energy and environment, while space offers an almost limitless realm of possibility.
When 2 million computing satellites weave a global interplanetary computing network, computational power will cease to be a scarce resource, instead shining upon every corner like sunlight. This is a long-term narrative about computing power and civilization. And Xinji Chuanyue is writing its first chapter.
Using chips as a vessel to cross technological boundaries and reach the new continent of intelligence—this phrase is not only the brand declaration of Xinji Chuanyue but also a fitting footnote for China's hard tech in the AI era. At this juncture where computing power defines the future, those who dare to look up at the stars will ultimately change the rules on the ground.
