China's commerce ministry warned the Dutch side must bear full responsibility if the Nexperia dispute triggers another global chip supply crisis. Nexperia's action has seriously disrupted normal production and operations, with the Dutch headquarters disabling office accounts for all employees in China. https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article/3345872/china-warns-fresh-chip-crisis-nexperia-dispute-flares #China #Tech #Semiconductors

US officials are considering capping Nvidia H200 AI chip exports to 75,000 units per Chinese customer, further constraining the chipmaker's re-entry into the Chinese market. The Trump administration also plans to include AMD's MI325 chips toward this cap. https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3345195/us-considers-capping-nvidia-h200-sales-75000-chinese-customer #China #Tech #Semiconductors

Cambricon, a Chinese AI chipmaker, reported its first full-year profit since going public in 2025. Revenue surged 453% to RMB 6.5B (US10M), with net profit reaching RMB 2.059B (US88M), reversing prior losses. The profit milestone may help remove its 'U' unprofitability designation from China's STAR Market. https://pandaily.com/cambricon-posts-first-full-year-profit-since-listing-as-2025-revenue-surges-453 #China #Tech #Semiconductors

Olix, a photonics startup, has raised $220 million in Series B funding to develop commercial AI chips that process data using light rather than electricity. The company claims its architecture reduces latency thousands of times over, cuts data center energy consumption by 80-90%, and enables parallel computing beyond silicon's physical limits. If successful by late 2026, the cost of training large language models could drop dramatically. The investment signals growing interest in alternatives to Nvidia's semiconductor dominance. https://vir.group/ #TechNews #AI #Semiconductors

Toronto-based Taalas just emerged from stealth with a claim that’s shaking the hardware world: 17,000 tokens per second on Llama 3.1 8B. How? By physically etching the AI model directly into the silicon transistors. No HBM. No liquid cooling. Just raw, hardwired performance that is 10x faster and 20x cheaper than traditional GPU inference. https://www.buysellram.com/blog/17000-tokens-second-is-taalas-hardwired-silicon-the-ultimate-solution-to-the-ai-memory-wall-and-hbm-shortage/ The Breakthrough: Taalas has unveiled the HC1 chip, achieving a massive 17,000 tokens/second on Llama 3.1 8B. It is roughly 10x faster and 20x cheaper than traditional GPU inference. The “Hardwired” Secret: Unlike GPUs that load software, Taalas etches the AI model directly into the silicon transistors. By physically embedding the weights, they eliminate the need for High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Solving the Memory Wall: By removing the “data movement” between external memory and the processor, Taalas bypasses the industry’s biggest bottleneck—the Memory Wall—and operates entirely on standard air cooling. The Trade-off: The chip is model-specific. While it offers “insane” efficiency for stable, high-volume production (like 24/7 chatbots), it lacks the programmability and flexibility of a GPU. Market Impact: The rise of these specialized “Inference Factories” actually increases the long-term value of your GPUs. Because GPUs are versatile and can be repurposed for any new model, they remain the “Gold Standard” for resale and training.

China’s Tech Giants Pursue AI & Semiconductor Talent in US

Major Chinese technology companies including ByteDance and Baidu are aggressively expanding their US-based research and development teams, targeting high-level AI and semiconductor recruits in key American tech hubs.

ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok and Douyin, was the most active recruiter among its peers, with more than 100 AI-related job vacancies posted in San Jose, California and Seattle, Washington. The company sought tech leads, engineers and research scientists for its various specialised AI teams including the Seed department for fundamental research.

Baidu, meanwhile, had its Sunnyvale operation post 10 job vacancies focused exclusively on semiconductor design, with roles for CPU development, system-on-a-chip architecture and design verification.

The overseas hiring spree underscores these ‘big tech’ firms’ growing ambitions to build up their skilled workforce in AI systems development and semiconductor design amid increased competition in their home market.
