Jensen Huang's "five-layer cake" model for AI is a tidy recipe: energy, chips, infrastructure, models, applications — stacked in order. Applied to China, the cake looks polished on top. Pull it apart, though, and the middle layers are still underbaked
A diplomatic dispute over administrative nomenclature has escalated into a high-stakes standoff between Taiwan and South Korea, threatening to cast a shadow over one of the world's most critical semiconductor supply chains
OpenClaw's "lobster-raising" wave is moving from developers into China's internet and software sectors at speed in early 2026. Unlike earlier large-model races centred on parameters and compute, this AI agent cycle is defined by a single question: who controls the user entry point
The most significant revelation from CEO Sanjay Mehrotra during Micron's earnings call was the structural shift in how the company engages with its largest customers
OpenClaw is forcing a rethink of the AI hardware stack, shifting the locus of deployment from cloud-based interaction to autonomous, always-on agents running locally on devices
Britain and Taiwan are quietly building one of the space industry's more ambitious bilateral partnerships — one grounded not just in government agreements, but in classrooms, laboratories, and shared satellite infrastructure
The cost of running an AI query has fallen by roughly 99% over the past two years. That should be a story about savings. Instead, it's a story about demand
As the world braces for the Trump-Xi summit scheduled for March 31 to April 2, headlines are dominated by the petrodollar, the capture of Nicolás Maduro, and the Anthropic ban. Yet beneath these shifts lies a hidden layer that determines the viability of the entire Western digital economy: Taiwan's untransferable industrial spirit
In August 2025, Filtronic secured a GBP47.3 million (US$63.2 million) contract from SpaceX — one of the company's largest equipment orders — to supply next-generation GaN E-band solid-state power amplifiers for the Starlink satellite network. The UK-based high-frequency RF and millimeter-wave technology firm, founded in 1977, has long served defense and telecommunications customers. It presented its latest SSPA product line at the 2026 UK Space-Comm Expo
Recent years have seen the dawn of a new era in warfare as militaries incorporate AI technologies into their operations. With countries seeking to gain the military edge, companies like EdgeRunner AI argue that they are the next frontier in warfare, creating products better suited for battle than LLMs such as Anthropic's Claude
Global headlines may proclaim a fully autonomous era, but AW 2026 told a different story. The show made clear that robots are not yet fully autonomous — a fact obscured by modern robotics coverage. The industry is heading in the right direction, but independent operation remains out of reach. A surprising number of robots were teleoperated via controllers. Those left unsupervised often struggled with basic environmental navigation
At the 2026 Space-Comm Expo, ITRI and TSIDA signed an MOU with the UK’s ADS Group. This agreement marks a significant milestone in Taiwan-UK space cooperation, building on the momentum from the Taiwan-UK Space Industry Roundtable Forum held in September 2025
As enterprises accelerate adoption of generative AI, Israel-based startup Bria.ai is betting that copyright-compliant data, creator compensation, and enterprise-grade control can set it apart in a crowded market increasingly dominated by large AI platforms
Tencent is reportedly developing an AI agent for its flagship messaging platform WeChat, a move that could reshape how users interact with services across China's largest digital ecosystem
