As AI infrastructure chip orders flood in and TSMC runs near nonstop, academia has found it difficult to carry out industry-academia collaboration with the world's top foundry house. Taiwan's government-funded research institutes, including the National Institutes of Applied Research (NIAR) and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), are emerging as a better route for partnerships.

The 2026 peak season for IC design firms remains unclear, with global readers likely to feel the effects through pricier smartphones, PCs, and other devices. Supply-chain costs are rising, demand is hard to gauge, and companies are preparing for customer stockpiling that could keep chip orders elevated into the third quarter.

ByteDance's reported plan to purchase at least 50,000 AI inference chips from Shanghai-based GPU developer Iluvatar CoreX could become one of the most significant commercial wins yet for China's domestic AI chip industry.
