    FuriosaAI, a South Korean AI chip company, announced on October 29 that it had completed a KRW 820 billion Series D funding round at a post-money valuation of approximately KRW 3.8 trillion. The Elec reported that, due to strong demand from domestic and overseas investors, the fundraising target was raised from the originally planned KRW 450 billion to KRW 750 billion up to KRW 820 billion; the South Korean government's National Growth Fund contributed KRW 370 billion as the largest investor, and overseas investors included Infinitum and Singapore's QUDA Capital Partners. The funds will be used mainly to expand supply capacity for the second-generation NPU Renegade (RNGD), and to jointly develop a third-generation AI accelerator for the hyperscale data center market with US-based Broadcom. SiliconANGLE reported the same day that the round amounted to USD 620 million at a valuation of USD 2.9 billion, and said the funds would be used to expand production capacity for next-generation TCP chips.

    Amazon's stock fell about 7% after its Q3 earnings report, showing AI investment pressure alongside Alphabet

    Amazon's total Q3 revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $201.9 billion, below analyst expectations, and its stock fell about 7% after hours following the earnings release. AWS revenue grew 39% year-over-year to $46 billion, accelerating for the sixth consecutive quarter, but online retail growth slowed to 2% and advertising growth slowed to 11%; meanwhile, equipment and property expenditures exceeded $77 billion, and free cash flow over the past 12 months was negative $42.4 billion. This trend echoes Alphabet's single-day plunge of 13% after its search advertising revenue fell short of expectations, as market concerns grow that AI investment is suppressing cash flow and the pace of monetization.

    Four financial institutions jointly announce a $63 billion AI financing arrangement

    Bank of America, Blackstone, Citi and Morgan Stanley jointly announced an AI financing arrangement totaling $63 billion. According to Cailianshe, the four institutions will set up an SPV to purchase custom AI chips and networking equipment from Broadcom, which are expected to be delivered in 2027 and then leased to Anthropic on a long-term basis; the financing includes approximately $43.5 billion in senior secured loans, accounting for 69% of the total financing, while the subordinated secured loans are mainly committed by Blackstone at about $18 billion, and Broadcom provides a residual value guarantee of up to $29 billion on the hardware. The Wall Street Journal reported that the financing was finalized after Broadcom CEO Hock Tan negotiated with bank executives over the weekend and agreed to raise the loan interest rate; Anthropic uses the chips under a lease arrangement, with a shell company borrowing to purchase them and repaying the loans with rental payments.

    Gartner forecasts AI infrastructure spending and potential impairment

    On October 20, 2026, Gartner released a forecast stating that AI vendors will invest nearly $1 trillion in infrastructure in 2026 and another $6 trillion from 2027 to 2030; of that, more than $3.5 trillion may need to be written down by the end of 2030 because revenue will not cover costs. Gartner also noted that most AI-native vendors use asset-light models, with less than half of AI revenue flowing to companies that own substantial infrastructure; GPU rental neoclouds carry the most concentrated risk. AI-optimized IaaS spending is expected to rise from $66 billion in 2027 to $174 billion in 2030, and Gartner believes this growth rate is insufficient for most vendors to recoup their investments before existing AI chips are replaced. Subsequent reports offered differing figures for the size of the shortfall: one report said total investment from 2026 to 2030 would be $7 trillion, with revenue of at most $3.6 trillion in 2030, and stated that $8.5 trillion in revenue would be needed to cover the investment and a 12% return requirement, leaving a gap of about $5 trillion, with more than $4 trillion in assets facing impairment risk.

    JEDEC approves SPHBM4 standard (JESD330-4)

    On June 26, 2026, the international semiconductor standards organization JEDEC officially approved the SPHBM4 standard, numbered JESD330-4, with the full name Standard Package High Bandwidth Memory 4. The goal of this standard is to reduce AI chip memory costs without sacrificing performance: cutting HBM4's 2048 data signal pins to 512, while raising the per-pin transfer rate to about 44 Gbps, using 4:1 serialization to maintain total bandwidth comparable to standard HBM4, and allowing direct mounting on standard organic substrates, bypassing the silicon interposer. The standard is currently in the post-publication stage awaiting adoption; no memory manufacturer has yet launched a product, and no cloud provider has announced plans to incorporate it into its own chip designs.

    AI demand drives chip business, Samsung operating profit surges 783%

    Samsung Electronics announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, with revenue of approximately 195.3 trillion won, up about 127% year-on-year, and operating profit of approximately 107.4 trillion won, up about 783% year-on-year, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of record highs. The semiconductor division's operating profit for the quarter reached 106.5 trillion won, accounting for about 99% of the company's total, with HBM4 sales rising sharply and demand for server SSDs strong. Revenue from the mobile and network businesses grew but they still posted a combined loss of 600 billion won, which Samsung attributed to cost pressure from rising component prices.

    Iluvatar CoreX Tianyao 300 Benchmarked Against H200: Training Throughput Reaches 1.33x That of H100

    Iluvatar CoreX held its first live demonstration of the Tianyao 300 at a media open day on October 28, claiming that in comparative tests on large language models such as GLM-5.3 as well as text-to-image and text-to-video scenarios, it outperformed the H200 overall. On the training side, in an 8-GPU full-system FP8-precision demonstration based on Qwen3-32B, the Tianyao 300 achieved per-GPU effective throughput 1.33 times that of the H100. The Tianyao 300 was unveiled at this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference in July, features 144GB of memory, and its IXL144 supernode integrates 144 GPUs with roughly 10.1TB of memory in a single standard rack, reducing the cost per million effective tokens by about 40% compared with mainstream international solutions.
