Samsung Bets On Unmanned Fabs By 2030 To Break Its Union’s Leverage After A Costly Bonus War

Samsung's semiconductor workers might have won their bonus-related battle but are now apparently headed towards losing the proverbial war, especially as Samsung doubles down on automation to extricate itself from the union's leverage.

Samsung has now established a data-sharing protocol, dubbed the Data Sharing Eco Platform (DSEP) , where the idea is to share real-time semiconductor process data with select partners, while concurrently feeding it into an AI-based factory operating system to unlock complete automation by the end of the decade.


Fatekeeper PC Performance Analysis & Tuning Guide – How To Get The Best Experience On PC

With Unreal Engine 5 games becoming increasingly common on PC, it is always interesting to see which developers can actually tame Epic Games’ state-of-the-art engine rather than simply brute-forcing their way to good visuals at a massive performance cost.

Microsoft Risks Trump’s Ire By Abandoning The Costly OpenAI And Anthropic Models For China-Based DeepSeek’s V4 Model For Enterprise Workloads

In a possible development that is almost guaranteed to raise a lot of hackles in Washington, Microsoft is considering the use of a self-hosted version of DeepSeek's V4 model for Copilot Cowork, as OpenAI and Anthropic appear determined to price themselves out of the market.

For the benefit of those who might not be aware, a token is the smallest unit of data that an AI model processes, and is typically around 4-character long. A model's context window or working memory is entirely measured in
