Thank you NVIDIA for inviting Pundi X to Startup Day at GTC Taipei.

As part of the NVIDIA Inception program, it was a privilege to connect with AI startups, founders, and investors — and hear how teams across the region are building and scaling the future of AI.

The shift from "AI as a feature" to "AI as the foundation" is happening faster than most expect.

[Zac @Zac_labs]

As token spend per engineer is now approaching 40% of their salary — we're closing in on the Jensen's threshold where AI compute becomes a real line item next to payroll.

R&D velocity is running roughly 10x what it was in 2024. Specs, design, code, audit, deploy — the loop has collapsed.

The goal isn't to ship more features. It's to operate as if we have 10x the headcount, without 10x the headcount.

The AI-native fintech isn't a future state. It's a current quarter.

[Andreas @Bluestitch_]

Google AI doesn’t need more apps.

It needs architecture.

Not everything should merge into ONE giant app either.

The solution:

Gemini = front door

🎨 Create → Flow + Veo + Omni + Imagen + ImageFX + Whisk (merged)

📚 Research → NotebookLM + Deep Research + AI Search (merged)

❤️ Health → Health + Fitbit + Fit (merged)

💼 Work → Gmail + Docs + Sheets + Meet

🧑‍💻 Build → AI Studio + CLI + APIs (separate for devs)

Users don’t think:

“I need Omni”

They think:

“I want to make a video”

All thanks to TSMC.

Pumping the Taiwan stock market, solving unemployment, making Taiwanese have more sex, saving the island's future — 護國神山 in every sense.

Graduates in Taiwan aren't debating whether to join TSMC, Acer, Asus or MediaTek anymore. They're debating whether to join TSMC Fab 1, Fab 20 or Fab 25. (Fab 20 is the most prestigious)

TSMC hires ~8,000 people a year, and Taiwan had only 107k babies in 2025 — a record low. That's one TSMC badge for every 13 newborn.

Gone are the 2010s when Taiwan wages stagnated for 20 years. Now everything is on the rise.

And on that note about more sex — TSMC should just run a hiring slogan: "Real men have fabs and sex."

神山maxxing.

Girls prefer to talk about HBM4 and DDR than K-pop these days.

My Korean friend hit a Gangnam club and it’s never been easier to small talk.

He now thinks the compute memory shortage is the answer to Korea's population crisis.

Does Kioxia jackets have the same effect in Japan? DBS jacket confirm will get you kicked out of Zouk.

[Zac @Zac_labs]

My Korean friend says the subtle flex in the dating market right now is wearing an SK Hynix jacket to your first date.

My Taiwanese friend says he is wearing TSMC shoes to his reunion.

Wonder if I can buy both on Taobao and wear them for morning jog at East Coast Park.

Semiconductor drip is the new streetwear. No wonder Nike stocks tanking.

We are joining @ClusterProtocol for an AMA to discuss a question that will define the future of AI:

Should you get paid when your data trains AI?

📅 21 May

The whole SGX is not even the market cap of one Korean company - SK Hynix.

SGX must be under valued, unless....

[Zac @Zac_labs]

Eating in Johor Bahru is not for the weak, laksa is now RM20 & Chagee RM17.

No wonder when tech and industrial FDI flowing into Malaysia rn is insane.

$25.6B tech industrial inflow to MY.

More than the next four countries combined (SG, VN, TH, ID). Yes, even > Singapore.

[Luiza @luizabr1402]

It’s gonna be a great session 💪🏼 excited to join this AMA @ClusterProtocol <> @PundiXLabs

The world top tech firms are racing to deploy autonomous agents this month, yet they are all hitting the exact same wall: payment integration.

​You can ask an AI to plan a comprehensive business trip, but it cannot actually book the flights or reserve the venue because it lacks a native financial identity.

​We believe the future of commerce is not another app on your smartphone. It is an infrastructure layer embedded directly into the fabric of AI models.

But, would you trust an AI agent with a 100 dollar weekly budget to optimize your daily expenses?

We had a great time attending Gishohaku, the technical book and doujinshi fair held at Ota City Industrial Plaza PiO in Japan, sharing our work around AI and blockchain

Thank you to everyone who stopped by Pundi X booth 💪

Singapore's AI agent-vibing foreign minister is speaking about AI.

Last month he was vibe coding on a Raspberry Pi. Now he's sharing the stage at @aiDotEngineer w ppl who build the tools he's assembling - Anthropic, Google, OpenAI.

Will we see @VivianBala drop a live tool assembly session next week ?😎

5 stories about agentic commerce in one week.
Agentic commerce truly stopped being just a thesis.
Let's catch up:

[Pundi AI @PundiAI]

Everyone says AI is all about models now.

But without high-quality data, even the best model is just guessing beautifully.

Data is still the foundation:
- better context
- better personalization
- better outcomes
- better agents
