Tencent’s new OS-level AI assistant “Marvis” has officially launched, capable of deep system control and cross-device coordination across Windows, Mac, and Android. In the hardware race, Nvidia’s CEO is betting heavily on “Agentic CPUs” with the new Vera chip, projecting $20 billion in CPU sales this year and opening a potential $200 billion market for AI agent execution. Similarly, Intel is strictly enforcing an “A0 to production” mandate to fix historic yield issues ahead of its 14A node launch in 2028. Meanwhile, Meta is laying off roughly 8,000 employees to funnel resources into its AI ambitions. In the startup space, Anthropic expects its first profitable quarter as it negotiates to adopt Microsoft’s custom Maia chips to reduce reliance on Nvidia. On the regulatory front, President Trump has delayed signing an AI executive order over fears it could slow U.S. AI development and give an edge to China.

Huawei develops new Die-on-Board packaging for massive 122TB SSDs Facing US sanctions that severely restrict its access to the latest high-stack 3D NAND chips, Huawei has successfully innovated a proprietary Die-on-Board (DoB) packaging technology to stay competitive globally. By welding NAND chips directly onto the PCB, Huawei bypasses the traditional 16-layer physical limitations of TSOP and BGA packaging, achieving a 33% increase in capacity density. This breakthrough allows the company to reach 36-layer stacks and deploy massive 122TB enterprise SSDs, entirely circumventing the industry’s conventional 3D NAND layer race.
