If Terrafab is using these suppliers it’s safe to assume it’s absolutely critical and cannot be insourced easily

[Illiquid @illyquid]

Japan seemingly left for dead last week. Meanwhile, Nikkei has been drafting:

"Japan's chip supply chain companies are preparing to fill orders on extremely tight timelines as Musk's semiconductor fab project moves closer to reality."

"Earlier this month, a number of procurement officers from Terafab visited Japan to talk with suppliers here."

"The order is crazy, but our only choice is to do our best to meet it," said one equipment maker who received an order from Terafab for machines to be delivered only a few months out."

True for many other industries besides AI

"Analysts need to assess product release quality and momentum from a bottoms up basis rather than blindly extrapolating with their 20-tab Excel models.

Product, product, product."

Search better / more intelligently -> find product / service quicker -> less total clicks / impressions

Better ads?

[Aria Radnia 🇮🇷 @ariaradnia]

People are using less search, this is a fact.

1) can they monetize legacy search better to compensate for this in the short term?

2) if search turns into AI overview, what are the economics of ads inside AI overview?

3) even if AI overview is just as monetizable as legacy search. Does the market share dropping from 90% on search to say even 50% in AI era mean less revenue?

3b) does the overall pie of searches (TAM) grow to support same revenues with less market share?

Genuinely good arguments for both sides of the debate. I got my popcorn ready either way

I miss the YAV podcast.
Is there any other under the radar podcasts focused on individual names which skew small/midcaps?

I never really hit the limits too hard with Opus, but hit it on the first day Fable released. ARR will explode

Imagine a ultra low latency high uptime API at 3x the cost for robotics

[Claude @claudeai]

Fable 5.2 shows substantially improved skills in controlling physical robots, even on tasks it has never explicitly been trained to do.

On RoboDojo, a benchmark with a simulated two-arm robot, it outperformed other models and most AI systems built to control robots.

Did you know that on average a 2nm wafer requires 2.7 test / dummy wafers?

[Semiconductor Insider @SemiconductorsX]

DRAM wafer capacity of the Big 3 (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) climbing steadily through 2027E.

Samsung alone is tracking toward ~855K wafers/month by 2027 - already close to what a single new fab is targeting for memory by 2032.

Driverless cars, humanoid robots.

The context window is extremely large for these applications

[Jukan @jukan05]

NIKKEI: ELON MUSK’S TERAFAB HAS TOLD SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS IT IS TARGETING A PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 1 MILLION WAFERS PER MONTH FROM 2032 ONWARD.

OF THAT TOTAL, 700,000 WAFERS PER MONTH WOULD BE ALLOCATED TO MEMORY CHIPS AND 300,000 TO LOGIC CHIPS.

WTF? 700kwpm for memory??

@JapanDeepValue1 Yes. Japan has some incredible businesses that are well managed despite the shareholder returns being low. Many companies are critical pieces of the semi supply chain still undervalued
