China’s 6G Pitch: How Integrated Communication-and-Sensing Could Rewrite Industry Connectivity
Professor Wang Jiangzhou urged that 6G should be built around integrated communication and sensing, arguing 5G cannot meet the latency, reliability and situational awareness needs of industrial and safety‑critical applications. He stressed multi‑station cooperative sensing, shared hardware and unified waveforms as central technical directions, and positioned China’s policy moves alongside global efforts to capture leadership in 6G.
How AI’s Appetite for Memory Is Turning Chip Windfalls Into an ‘AI Tax’ on Consumers
SK Hynix and Samsung are reallocating memory capacity to serve AI data centres, driving a surge in HBM and SSD demand that has pushed memory prices sharply higher. The result is higher costs and stealth downgrades for consumer devices, with ordinary buyers effectively shouldering the bill for large‑scale AI infrastructure build‑outs.
Google’s Gemini Surge Fuels Cloud Demand — 85 Billion API Calls and 8 Million Enterprise Users Tighten GCP’s Competitive Grip
Gemini usage has surged, with API calls topping about 85 billion and enterprise subscriptions reaching around 8 million, driving higher demand for Google Cloud compute and services. This adoption strengthens Google’s ability to monetize AI through cloud infrastructure sales while raising margin, competition and regulatory questions.
Musk Doubles Down on Optimus: Tesla’s Bid to Become a Robot Company — Hype or Strategic Pivot?
Elon Musk says Tesla is “very likely” to evolve into a robotics company centred on the Optimus humanoid, asserting the business could dwarf Tesla’s current automotive operations. The claim follows weak global car sales and regulatory pressure on Tesla’s driving software, but turning a prototype humanoid into a mass‑market product faces steep technical, economic and regulatory hurdles.
As Models Mature, Chinese AI Firms Put Data — Not Parameters — at the Centre of Industrialisation
At the 2026 AIGC Developers Conference, Hangzhou Cangjie Intelligent’s CEO argued that industrial AI’s bottleneck is data, not models. Companies that build scalable, task‑structured, reusable data systems will gain the competitive moats required to deploy AI in manufacturing, robotics and embodied systems.
Memory Prices Rocket as AI Squeezes Supply Chain — Devices, OEMs and Shoppers Feel the Pinch
A sharp surge in memory and SSD prices driven by AI-related demand is pushing up the cost of laptops, phones and assembled PCs while inflating profits at major memory makers. Industry insiders expect the tightness to persist through 2026 as capacity expansion lags explosive demand for AI-optimised storage.
