“Has become a warning for the innovative development of intelligence“
Cloud computing is essentially a computing model based on the internet, providing computing resources, storage, and services through the “cloud”. This model allows users to access various applications and data anytime and anywhere via the internet, without relying on local hardware and software facilities.As the demand for AI inference surges, ASIC chips are becoming the key to breakthroughs for tech giants, in this computing power revolution, ASICs, with their customization advantages, are moving from training edges to inference centers, reshaping the AI chip industry landscape. The construction of AI infrastructure is driving rapid growth in capital expenditure for data centers, bringing more development opportunities for the ASIC industry.Recent news: OpenAI has partnered with Broadcom to start mass production of its self-developed AI chips next year, with orders reaching up to $10 billion, to reduce reliance on NVIDIA GPUs. Meta also plans to launch its first ASIC chip in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In the future as AI applications shift from investment-driven to application-driven, inference demand will become the main growth momentum, and it is expected that by 2026, AI inference will consume over 60% of total computing resources. ASICs, due to their extreme energy efficiency and cost advantages in inference tasks, will become the mainstream choice in this field.
