Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang issued a sharp rebuke to market speculation regarding the rise of custom silicon (ASIC) during an interview in Taipei on January 31, 2026.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivered a fiery defense of his company's alliance with OpenAI on Saturday night, January 31, 2026, dismissing reports of a "cooling" relationship as "complete nonsense."
At a Lunar New Year press conference, the Financial Supervisory Commission said that combined revenues of Taiwan's listed companies surpassed NT$50 trillion (approx. US$1.59 trillion) in 2025, while total market capitalization reached NT$101 trillion. By market value, Taiwan now ranks as the world's seventh-largest securities market.
As artificial intelligence (AI) applications expand, the rising scale and density of server computing have placed a premium on system stability. AI servers, characterized by high costs, extreme power consumption and significant heat generation, face the risk of substantial losses from system outages. This has heightened the importance of baseboard management controllers (BMCs), which provide real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature and system status, driving steady growth in Aspeed Technology's operating performance.
With artificial intelligence (AI) technology advancing at a breakneck pace—particularly as applications move from the training phase to inference—demand for high-capacity, high-performance storage in data centers and embedded devices is surging. Once considered a low-margin segment prone to market volatility, NAND flash has taken on a new strategic role in Nvidia's blueprint for next-generation AI infrastructure, becoming an indispensable component for AI inference workloads.
