This steady field, 35.1 T, is considerably lower than the record, 48.7 T, established at the National High Magnetic Field laboratory in Florida. That magnet used a combination of superconducting and normal conductor coils.

Was just going to mention the MagLab, which all the locals think controls the weather and keep hurricanes away, so much so they have to say it does not in the FAQ:

Quite funny faq to read
The difference here, which is almost lost in the article, is that ASIPP's is a fully superconducting magnet, unlike the Little Big Coil.
Interesting, I did not know that. Thanks for sharing!
There is an Veritasium video where they visit that lab.
