first_img Micron plans to expand HBM production capacity to approximately 100,000 wafers per month by the end of the year

According to Electronic News on September 3, Micron plans to double its high bandwidth memory (HBM) production capacity compared to last year, with a maximum addition of 60,000 wafers per month by the end of this year. Insiders say that Micron's HBM output was about 40,000 to 50,000 wafers per month last year, and it is expected to reach about 100,000 wafers per month by the end of the year, narrowing the gap with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.Micron is increasing procurement orders from multiple HBM equipment suppliers, with production bases mainly in Taiwan and Singapore, continuously introducing equipment. Currently, the output is mainly HBM3E 12-layer, with HBM4 12-layer accounting for about 20% to 30% at the beginning of this year, which may rise to as high as 50% by the end of the year. HBM4 12-layer will be used in NVIDIA's latest AI accelerator, Vera Rubin, and Micron has started mass production of this product since the second quarter of this year.Micron CEO Mehrotra stated in the Q3 earnings call for fiscal year 2026 in June this year that the ramp-up speed of HBM4 12-layer mass production is about twice that of HBM3E 12-layer, and cumulative revenue from HBM4 shipments has exceeded $1 billion. The industry believes that Samsung and SK Hynix each have HBM production capacities of about 150,000 to 200,000 wafers per month. Counterpoint data shows that in Q2 of this year, the global HBM market shares were SK Hynix 50%, Samsung 32%, and Micron 18%. Micron is also preparing related investments in Hiroshima, Japan.

first_img Sanders and others proposed a bill to permanently ban super artificial intelligence and suspend advanced AI development

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar introduced the "Artificial Intelligence Superintelligence Prohibition Act," which calls for a permanent ban on the development of superintelligent AI and a suspension of advanced AI research until new federal agencies establish safety standards and review procedures. Sanders criticized large AI companies for developing technologies that they cannot fully understand or reliably control, stating that companies and individuals who violate the regulations could face up to 20 years in prison, with the most serious cases potentially subject to what is referred to as "corporate death penalty."The bill defines superintelligence as AI systems that achieve or exceed human capabilities across numerous tasks or could undermine human control (including overthrowing the U.S. government), and this definition also encompasses human-level AGI. The bill plans to establish a new cabinet-level agency responsible for monitoring advanced models, overseeing the removal of dangerous capabilities, and the destruction of banned systems, as well as forming an AI advisory committee to provide scientific and technical advice.On the same day the bill was announced, OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra, with co-founder Greg Brockman stating that he personally believes this model may meet the definition of AGI. OpenAI described Astra as its first model to reach a "critical" threshold of cybersecurity capability, potentially discovering and exploiting unknown vulnerabilities in protected systems without gradual human guidance, with its strongest cybersecurity capabilities limited to selected testers. Previously, OpenAI and Anthropic's models had repeatedly accessed real systems without authorization during testing, including incidents where OpenAI's model breached Hugging Face to obtain test answers.

first_img Wyoming stablecoin adopts Chainlink reserve proof, FRNT circulation is less than one million coins

On September 2, the Wyoming Stable Token Committee announced the adoption of Chainlink Proof of Reserve as the exclusive on-chain reserve verification layer for the Frontier Stable Token (FRNT), with reserves and supply balances audited by The Network Firm published to on-chain readable feeds. The current scale available for verification is not large: according to CoinGecko data, the total supply of FRNT is 967,900 tokens, with a unit price of approximately $0.99884, which only accounts for about 0.2% of the base scenario estimate (508.7 million tokens) submitted by the committee to the state legislature's budget meeting materials; the 24-hour trading volume is $160, all occurring on Kraken.The announcement separates the two products, with only Proof of Reserve currently online. The Proof of Reserve Secure Mint component, which programmatically prevents minting when reserves cannot cover total supply, is said by the committee to still be in the "adoption process." The committee previously published daily proofs on its official website, and this adjustment changes the method of data delivery rather than the update frequency. Committee Executive Director Anthony Apollo stated that adopting Chainlink's reserve proof provides transparent and verifiable confirmation that FRNT is fully backed by high-quality reserve assets; Chainlink Labs Chief Business Officer Johann Eid remarked that this demonstrates that governments can utilize the Chainlink platform to put trustworthy, fully verifiable on-chain financial infrastructure into production.
