CoreWeave launched a debt sale worth US$3 billion in convertible bonds, which would allow buyers to turn their bonds into shares. The neocloud, which has sharply ramped up its infrastructure spending over the past year, has secured a growing customer base but faces concerns over financial sustainability amid intense competition and fears of an AI slowdown.
King Charles III has stepped into the intensifying debate over artificial intelligence, urging executives from Nvidia, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Anthropic to keep AI under human control and ensure the technology serves people and the planet.
More technical details on 2026 mobile systems on a chip (SoCs) from major vendors are emerging, and the biggest changes in chips such as Apple's A20 Pro and MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro are clearly concentrated in the neural processing unit (NPU). Qualcomm also published a technical article on NPU development on September 10, saying its next-generation NPU will expand shared memory capacity to improve access efficiency and speed for model data, helping mobile AI maintain fast response times.
The Chinese smart glasses sector is rapidly consolidating around the principle that "subtraction is king." Rather than rushing unproven hardware to market, ByteDance is adopting a deliberate, supply-chain-first strategy.
Huawei is extending its AI infrastructure strategy beyond individual accelerators and storage systems, unveiling an Agentic supercluster architecture designed to scale Ascend computing to as many as 1 million accelerator cards through UnifiedBus.
Chinese AI developer Z.ai has raised its 2026 year-end annual recurring revenue (ARR) target by 25% to US$3 billion after fresh financing eased the computing bottleneck that had constrained growth earlier this year.
Taiwan is moving closer to issuing a request for proposal (RFP) for its quantum computing system project.
Taiwan's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are making plans to adopt AI, according to a new survey that suggests the debate has shifted from whether to adopt AI to how quickly it can be turned into measurable business gains. The findings point to a new competitive divide shaped by decision speed, data readiness, and management execution.
A DeepSeek engineer's viral reflection on AI's rapid progress has reignited debate over whether artificial intelligence will replace human workers or redefine their roles. His comments suggest the immediate risk for software engineers may be less about layoffs and more about a swift shift in how technical work is done.
As Nvidia gradually retreats from China's high-end AI accelerator market amid strict US export controls, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is deepening its regional AI strategy. Rather than relying solely on traditional CPU and GPU sales, AMD is shifting its focus toward edge AI platforms, AI PCs, agent computers, local developer communities, and university partnerships.
Japanese autonomous driving developer Tier IV is developing an AI chip and will release its chip design and related toolchain as open source, allowing semiconductor manufacturers to use them to develop autonomous driving chips. The company aims to break Nvidia's dominant position in the autonomous driving chip market.
Wiwynn's top executive said demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure is likely to keep the server maker on a strong growth path through the next several years, even as US opposition to data centers builds. The company is still expanding aggressively in North America, citing customer pressure, record revenue, and an improving margin profile.
Fast-moving advances in chip production have spurred a semiconductor boom, markedly altering the manufacturing scope of the broader high-tech industry.
Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT), a subsidiary of Foxconn, held FIT Tech Day 2026 on September 16 under the theme "Light at Scale: The Next Frontier in Data Center Interconnects," bringing together global leaders from the optical communications, AI, and semiconductor industries to examine the next generation of AI connectivity across light sources, materials, photonics, network architecture, manufacturing, and the broader industry ecosystem.
