Xunfei Healthcare (iFLYTEK Medical), the healthcare AI arm of China's iFlytek, is using its Spark Medical Large Model to support diagnosis and medical record generation while tackling challenges including clinical workflow integration, differences in care settings, and model hallucinations. It also hopes to bring its experience from China to South Korea through local partnerships.

As HBM approaches half the cost of a GPU-HBM CoWoS package, can memory still be viewed as merely a passive component of AI computing? The answer goes back to the "memory wall," a challenge that has shaped nearly half a century of semiconductor development.

China's continued expansion of DRAM capacity has raised a key question for the global memory market: will supply and demand flip?

Garmin's decision to offer OLED options but no Micro LED version in its new flagship smartwatches, the fenix 9 and fenix 9 Pro, has revived debate over whether the emerging display technology is ready for sustained commercial competition. The shift comes about a year after Garmin launched the world's first Micro LED smartwatch, the fenix 8 Pro Micro LED in September 2025.

A robot that can map a factory floor still cannot necessarily find the box it has been asked to move, or remember what it saw on its last visit. For autonomous robots, building the map is increasingly just the beginning. What comes next — searching for objects, navigating to specified locations, remembering what the robot has seen, and retrieving that information for model reasoning in complex environments — is where the new applications and challenges lie.

China's two leading memory suppliers are moving to raise capital and expand output as demand for chips grows, a shift that could reshape the country's domestic supply chain. Their efforts reflect a new stage for the sector, but the long-term test will be whether fresh funding can translate into stronger technology, higher yields, and wider customer adoption.

When companies discuss ESG, they often emphasize environmental issues and compliance while paying less attention to employee health, a key component of the social dimension, according to Saxon Chen, founder and CEO of Taiwanese digital health technology company H2U Corp.

GMI Cloud is making Taiwan a key part of its global AI infrastructure expansion, with a US$500 million investment in an AI factory powered by Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs. Announced in late 2025, the facility is expected to deploy roughly 7,000 GPUs and serve customers including Trend Micro and Wistron.

India's new semiconductor incentive regime is putting more capital at risk for manufacturers, but the first wave of investment commitments suggests lower subsidies have not stopped companies from considering fresh projects.

After more than a decade away, Apple may be preparing to return to the enterprise server market. According to The Information, as reported by Reuters, the company is developing an enterprise AI server powered by its planned M8 Ultra chip and has discussed adopting Nvidia's NVLink Fusion interconnect technology.

Ahead of the Trump-Xi summit, the key semiconductor question is no longer simply how much Nvidia hardware Washington will allow China to buy.

When Donald Trump and Xi Jinping discuss artificial intelligence, the deeper divide may not be over whether AI needs rules, but over what those rules are designed to protect.

Online rumors that Huawei founder Zhengfei Ren and his family had disappeared from public view have reignited concern over the fate of Chinese technology executives. Ren's younger daughter, Annabel Yao, appeared at a Beijing press conference on September 14, but China's new exit-and-entry rules took effect the next day, drawing fresh attention to executives who have fled, vanished, or faced restrictions.

Foxconn Group's electric vehicle business is entering a new phase as it shifts from proving the concept to preparing for mass production and wider regional expansion. The change could reshape Taiwan's auto industry and strengthen Foxconn's case as a cross-border EV manufacturer with ambitions far beyond its home market.

Following Apple's executive transition, former CEO Tim Cook and new chief John Ternus have presented contrasting visions for the next generation of mobile devices, spotlighting a key strategic divide as the company prepares for the post-iPhone era.
