Citrini analyst Jukan shared content on platform X stating that industry insiders reported that Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis had previously planned to leave simultaneously with another co-founder, David Silver. However, Google management was concerned that this news could trigger a significant drop in stock prices, so they hoped to delay his departure. Reports indicate that after Google announced related adjustments, the company's stock did indeed decline. Ultimately, Hassabis was persuaded to take on the role of chairman of DeepMind to help facilitate a smooth transition and create space for a more appropriate departure from Google in the future.It is reported that as David Silver shifts to founding Ineffable Intelligence and John Jumper joins Anthropic, the core AI research and development force at DeepMind is undergoing changes. Some insiders believe that the center of gravity for AI model development at Google has now shifted more towards the Bay Area, leading to a decline in the importance of DeepMind. Internally, Google is focusing on the large language model Gemini to catch up with OpenAI and Anthropic. Hassabis's adjustment reflects a long-standing strategic contradiction within Google: researchers are more focused on long-term scientific breakthroughs, while the commercial team is more concerned with AI products that can be quickly commercialized to drive revenue and stock price growth. Market predictions suggest that Hassabis may leave Google within a year and could potentially start a new venture.

According to the latest survey by TrendForce, in June, the top three MLCC suppliers in Japan and South Korea (Murata, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Taiyo Yuden) achieved a monthly shipment volume that reached a nearly five-year high, with 140 billion, 98 billion, and 40 billion units respectively, and the growth momentum continued into July. AI applications are the main driving force, with CSP manufacturers maintaining strong procurement demand for self-developed ASIC platforms such as Google TPU and AWS Trainium, driving continuous growth in demand for high-capacity, low-voltage, small-sized MLCCs.At the same time, Japanese and South Korean suppliers are accelerating the shift of production capacity from consumer-grade X5R to high-end X6S/X7R specifications, resulting in a severe squeeze on the production capacity of mid-to-high capacity (1µF-22µF) consumer-grade MLCCs, with mainstream inventory days generally falling below 30 days. The overflow effect of production capacity has led channels, agents, and second- and third-tier customers to urgently pull goods, significantly increasing order visibility for Taiwanese and mainland suppliers, leading to rising prices, with agents raising prices by an average of 20-25%, and spot market prices have soared to 2-3 times the original price.
