The AI laboratory Anthropic, which developed Claude, named TSMC in its IPO prospectus, warning that the world's most advanced chip manufacturing capacity is highly concentrated in Taiwan. The prospectus states that if TSMC's operations are disrupted, it could severely impact the supply of AI chips and affect Anthropic's business, financial condition, and operational results.According to MoneyDJ citing the prospectus, the global AI industry heavily relies on TSMC's advanced processes. Suppliers such as NVIDIA and AMD, as well as companies that design their own chips like Amazon and Google, all need TSMC to turn their designs into physical chips. The listed risks include earthquakes, typhoons, interruptions in power and water supply, as well as cross-strait geopolitical tensions, military conflicts, blockades, tariffs, and trade restrictions.The prospectus also states that if a significant event occurs in Taiwan, the supply of advanced chips could be severely hindered; due to the time-consuming nature of building and certifying alternative foundries, the impact could last for several years. The expansion of advanced processes outside Taiwan is still in its early stages, making it difficult to effectively reduce concentration risks in the short term. TSMC has been unable to fully meet market demand due to strong demand, resulting in Anthropic not being able to obtain a sufficient supply of chips in a timely manner.

Tom Wan, the data director at Entropy Advisors, stated that the transaction fees for Robinhood Chain will be included in the third quarter financial report to be released tomorrow. He mentioned that the transaction fees for the first quarter of this chain amounted to 51.1 million USD, which is about half of Robinhood's second quarter cryptocurrency trading revenue, and he is paying attention to whether the company will describe this chain as infrastructure for other businesses or as an independent source of income.Tom Wan noted that the average daily transaction fees in October have dropped to about 52,000 USD, with the decline primarily due to pricing. The increase in fees in late August was attributed to gas congestion, with the average transaction fee rising from 0.002 USD to 0.298 USD, and weekly trading volume increasing by 7.5%. On September 1 and September 3, Robinhood raised the gas target from 18 million per second to 40 million, and gas prices have returned to the lower limit of 0.02 gwei.He also mentioned that by the end of the third quarter, USDG on Robinhood Chain was 693 million USD, compared to 101 million USD on July 1; estimating based on a roughly 3.5% share and an average scale of 427 million USD for the third quarter, the quarter's revenue was about 3.8 million USD, which annualizes to about 24 million USD based on the current scale of 674 million USD. There are 195,000 stock token holders, and last week the DEX trading volume was about 700 million USD. In the second quarter, the cryptocurrency trading volumes for Bitstamp and the Robinhood App were 22.1 billion USD and 18.3 billion USD, respectively, and he stated that there is currently no public data indicating how much of that is related to this chain.

On October 22, at the 2026 World Physics AI Conference and Yushu Partner Ecosystem Conference, Yushu Technology founder Wang Xingxing stated, "I am really very afraid of wasting each day," demonstrating a strong sense of urgency regarding the acceleration of physical AI.Wang Xingxing believes that top AI models have already penetrated the mathematical world, and physical AI has also shown signs of being penetrated, with the breakthrough likely occurring in the next 1 to 2 years or 2 to 3 years. Live demonstrations showed that the Yushu robot equipped with GPT-6 could complete tasks such as painting, playing chess, and recognizing color palettes without additional training, indicating that the model can solve some planning problems. He expects that by the end of this year or next year, the robot is expected to complete tasks like organizing a room as instructed.In light of this time window, Yushu Technology officially launched the "Yuchuang Plan," opening recruitment for embodied intelligent entrepreneurs with core technologies, aiming to incubate over 200 ecological enterprises in the next five years. Wang Xingxing also pointed out that after the breakthrough point of physical AI, robot hardware needs to reach a scale of producing tens of millions of units annually, and emphasized the importance of core resources such as data, computing power, chips, and energy.

The 2026 World Physics AI Conference and Yushu Partner Ecosystem Conference was held today in Hangzhou. Wang Xingxing, Chairman, General Manager, and Chief Technology Officer of the robotics company Yushu Technology, stated in his keynote speech that the most critical challenge for embodied intelligence, surpassing the ChatGPT moment, is the alignment of AI model inputs and outputs with real robots.Wang Xingxing mentioned that for top large model companies, in a sense, they have basically achieved self-evolution of models internally, where models can write programs and collect data on their own, and humans only need to provide appropriate guidance and participation. He also noted that it usually takes 5 to 10 years for technological breakthroughs to diffuse to general users, so the external perception is not that profound, while physical AI has already shown signs of being penetrated.

ZEALER founder and former Gree executive Wang Ziru announced the development of his team's first AI product, VIVA, which focuses on personal health management. The product integrates three virtual roles: nutritionist, fitness coach, and life assistant into a single chat interface, allowing the three roles to share conversation information.After users take a photo of their meal or say what they ate, the AI can estimate calories and record nutritional intake. The fitness coach can schedule training, guide workouts, and track progress. The life assistant supports integration with Apple Health, adjusting suggestions based on sleep and activity data, such as reducing training intensity when sleep is insufficient. In June of this year, Wang Ziru showcased an AI health management prototype and claimed that with AI-assisted fat loss, his weight dropped from 86 kilograms to 74 kilograms.The issues Wang Ziru hopes to address include the difficulty in estimating calories in Chinese cuisine and the scattered data from smart wearables that need to be manually organized before AI can analyze it. In August of this year, he stated that the entrepreneurial software would be launched by September at the latest. The team plans to provide a live experience of VIVA from October 23 to 25 at "Mañana Tomorrow Park" in Haikou on Xiaohongshu.
