Unlike CPUs and GPUs, ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) are pre-configured for specific applications before manufacturing. These chips are highly customized in both design and production, tailored for targeted use cases. ASICs have seen rapid growth in the AI and cloud computing markets. In the context of LLM (Large Language Model) applications, while Nvidia maintains a strong advantage in the training phase through its mature CUDA ecosystem, ASICs are expected to demonstrate significant potential in the inference phase due to their unique product attributes. Over time, a complementary ecosystem is likely to emerge, where ASICs fill specific roles alongside GPUs. This article offers a concise overview of ASIC characteristics, business models, industry landscape, and future outlook.

Constellation Brands (STZ) is a well-known U.S. producer and distributor of alcoholic beverages, with core operations spanning beer, wine, and spirits. Its beer segment continues to show stable growth, while its wine and spirits businesses have shifted focus toward the premium market. In line with evolving consumer trends, the company is also actively expanding into non-alcoholic and functional beverages. In 2017, Constellation invested in cannabis in an effort to enter the cannabis-infused beverage market. However, the market’s performance fell short of expectations, and Canopy has remained unprofitable. In 2024, Constellation further reduced its stake and redirected its focus back to its core business. As the alcoholic beverage industry continues to move upscale, Constellation maintains a competitive edge.

TSMC CEO C.C. Wei visited the United States and held discussions with Donald Trump regarding a new round of investment plans. The visit culminated in the announcement that TSMC will launch a large-scale expansion investment in the U.S., in response to potential future tariff policies targeting semiconductors. This article outlines the current geopolitical and economic landscape, and highlights the possible implications of the investment plan: TSMC’s expansion will boost production capacity, reduce tariff-related risks, and enhance geopolitical security. However, high operational costs and pressures on talent allocation may pose challenges. For the U.S., the move will contribute to a more complete semiconductor supply chain and drive job creation. On a global scale, it marks a further shift toward regionalized supply chains. Ongoing attention will be required as the tech cold war between the U.S. and China continues to unfold.

In recent years, drone technology has developed rapidly, evolving from its original military use to being gradually integrated into daily life and industrial applications. Since drones do not require direct human operation, they are particularly suitable for areas such as fast transportation, surveillance and monitoring, and disaster relief. Market forecasts suggest that the drone industry will continue to grow in the coming years. With ongoing advancements in AI algorithms, drones are also expected to achieve greater capabilities in autonomous navigation and tracking. Taiwan's drone industry still faces several challenges, including a relatively small market size, limited brand influence, and intense international competition. However, Taiwan maintains a strong edge in semiconductors and electronics manufacturing, securing a solid position in key components, sensors, and image processing chips.
