VSORA’s Sandra Rivera on the Inference Era: Demand Is Real, But Not Everyone Survives
Sandra Rivera, Chair of VSORA, joined Bloomberg’s The Close in July for an interview on the current state of AI. What follows is a summary of that conversation.
When a Silicon Valley veteran who once ran Intel’s Data Center and AI Group, and now chairs a French inference-chip challenger, sits down with a tech journalist from Bloomberg,… Read More
Intel’s Open Software Blueprint: Why Production AI Needs More Than GPUs
Intel’s strategic argument about enterprise AI is that the value of a model depends on the system that surrounds it. In an article by executives Bill Pearson and Anil Nanduri, the company positions open software as the connective tissue linking CPUs, GPUs, data, and business applications. The message is straightforward: accelerator… Read More
From 25 Million Pixels to a Six-Ounce Product: Engineering Visor for Manufacturing
By Dr. Moh Kolbehdari
Putting roughly 25 million pixels into a wearable device weighing about six ounces sounds, at first, like a display problem.
It is not.
The displays must fit behind an optical system capable of turning those pixels into a usable visual field. Compute must generate and move the required data. Power must support… Read More
TSMC 2026 OIP Ecosystem Forum Summary
TSMC’s 2026 Open Innovation Platform Forum presented artificial intelligence as the force reshaping semiconductor design. Its central argument is that faster chips will require progress across the whole system: logic, memory, packaging, interconnects, power delivery and design methods.
