The Next Battlefield for AI Chips: Structural Shifts from Training to Inference

The AI chip industry is undergoing a structural shift from a training-centric paradigm to an inference-driven one. With the explosion of generative AI, the market focus is shifting from training models to the inference stage, driving demand for inference chips (such as NPUs and ASICs) that can run with lower power consumption and higher efficiency. NVIDIA is transitioning from a training leader to a leader in the inference ecosystem, and the value of AI is shifting from one-time training investments to continuous inference consumption models, making cost, efficiency, and scale the three core variables defining the future of AI.

How Large Language Models Reshape Scientific Method: Exploration from Hypothesis to Discovery

This paper reviews the role of large language models (LLMs) in scientific research, covering applications from hypothesis testing to discovery. The study indicates that LLMs have become technical tools in experimental design, data analysis, and workflows, but to become effective "creative engines," they need to collaborate with human scientific goals and integrate a hybrid engine combining data-driven and symbolic systems.

The Profound Impact of the US MCA Review on the North American Automotive Industry: A Game of Stability and Uncertainty

The annual review mechanism of the US MCA has shifted the North American automotive industry from a relatively predictable framework to long-term uncertainty. Stability is key to industry development, but the uncertainty brought by reviews may threaten long-term investment and the resilience of cross-border supply chains. The formulation of rules, especially rules of origin and future attention to ownership structures, will be the core determinant of industry competitiveness.

Editorial principles

01

We publish fewer stories, with more context and clearer sourcing.

02

Every section follows a distinct analytical lens rather than a generic topic taxonomy.

03

Technology, industry, and capital are presented as linked systems, not separate beats.
