Tesla is recruiting chip engineers in Taiwan for a project internally called Terafab, signaling an expansion of the company's in-house semiconductor ambitions. The recruitment push targets Taiwan's deep pool of chip design and fabrication talent, home to engineers trained across TSMC, MediaTek, and the broader semiconductor supply chain. Tesla has been developing proprietary silicon for years, most visibly through its Dojo supercomputer training chips and the hardware underlying its Full Self-Driving stack. Terafab suggests a more structured, potentially manufacturing-oriented program rather than pure design work, though the project's full scope remains undisclosed. For investors, the move fits a pattern of vertical integration that compresses reliance on third-party chip suppliers and could reshape Tesla's cost structure on compute-intensive workloads. Watch for hiring volume and any TSMC partnership signals as indicators of how far Tesla intends to push its semiconductor stack in-house.
Apple has raised MacBook and iPad prices in India by 20% to 42%, citing a sharp surge in memory chip costs driven by AI data centre demand. Micron, the leading memory supplier, reported 86% gross margins, confirming that supply pressures have fundamentally shifted component pricing across the consumer electronics
India's central government will take a 1-2% stake in AI unicorn Sarvam once its $300 million funding round closes, converting compute subsidies provided under the IndiaAI Mission into equity. The move sets a precedent for how the government accounts for public support given to homegrown AI startups.
