TSMC's largest customer for AI chips; met with founder Morris Chang in January 2026

TSMC makes over 90% of the world's most advanced chips, the processors that power AI systems from Nvidia, Apple, and others. In 2026, the company raised its capital spending budget to $60-64 billion, up from $52-56 billion planned in January. It posted record profits in each of the first two quarters and again in Q3, when net profit jumped 69% year over year. On October 15 it said it will build another 3nm fab in Tainan, with production set for the first half of 2028.

Shifted from $100 billion deployment deal to $30 billion equity investment in OpenAI

In November 2025, Sam Altman told the world OpenAI had $1.4 trillion in data center commitments. Now the company is telling investors the real number is $600 billion — and that it would rather rent computing power than build its own facilities. The retreat, disclosed to investors in February 2026 and detailed publicly on March 22, marks the sharpest pivot in the short history of the artificial intelligence spending boom.

Directing NVIDIA's prepayment strategy across packaging, substrate and testing suppliers

AI chips aren't finished at the foundry. They are mounted with memory onto a base called an interposer and tested in a back-end step, advanced packaging, where demand has outrun supply. NVIDIA committed $1.3 billion to Amkor on October 21 for South Korea capacity, which Amkor says brings its multi-year NVIDIA agreements in Arizona and South Korea to $3 billion. The two disclosed amounts, $1.5 billion in July and $1.3 billion this week, add up to $2.8 billion.

As of May 2026: Announced Space-1 platform at GTC 2026

Earth observation satellites generate petabytes of imagery every day, but only about two percent of it ever reaches the ground. The bottleneck is physics: a satellite in low Earth orbit gets maybe ten minutes of ground-station contact per pass, and radio bandwidth cannot keep up with sensor resolution that doubles every few years. Nvidia's answer, announced at its annual developer conference on March 17, 2026, is to stop trying to move the data down and instead move the AI up. The Vera Rubin Space-1 Module packs 25 times the compute power of Nvidia's H100 chip into a radiation-hardened package designed to run large language models and foundation models directly in orbit.
