Introduction:
In this episode, we explore five major stories shaping the future of technology and AI. First, Tesla and Elon Musk have made a bold move by securing a $16.5 billion deal with Samsung to supply next-generation AI6 chips from a new Texas factory, signaling a pivotal moment in AI chip manufacturing. Next, we examine China’s AI industry uniting through new alliances to reduce dependence on foreign technology amid ongoing US export restrictions. Then, we highlight Huawei’s remarkable comeback as it overtakes Apple to become the top smartphone vendor in China, powered by its Kirin 9000S chip. We also discuss IonQ’s strategic hire of Marco Pistoia, JPMorgan’s former quantum research lead, who warns that practical quantum computers are just a few years away. Finally, we dive into the launch of Chinese startup Z.ai’s GLM-4.5 AI model, which claims groundbreaking cost-efficiency and runs on only eight specialized Nvidia H20 chips, intensifying competition in the AI market.
