As the global AI boom moves from centralized cloud environments to the devices at the edge, Taiwan-based Phison Electronics — a leading supplier of NAND flash controllers — sees 2025 as the year for real-world deployment of edge AI. CEO Khein Seng Pua announced that the company’s proprietary aiDAPTIV+ platform has already surpassed 200 proof-of-concept (PoC) projects, including successful pilots with all three of the world’s major GPU manufacturers.

In a development that has sent shockwaves through the global semiconductor industry, US-based silicon carbide (SiC) leader Wolfspeed is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy within weeks. While some orders have already begun shifting to alternate suppliers, industry analysts warn that the long-term implications will ripple across the entire supply chain—disrupting the balance of technology leadership, production capacity, and cost structures.
