- IC-Link by imec is joining $TSM's OIP Cloud Alliance, expanding customer access to advanced-node semiconductor design infrastructure. - IC-Link becomes the first managed-cloud service within the alliance to support mixed-partner EDA flows. - Customers can securely access $TSM advanced-node PDKs, scalable compute and design infrastructure while continuing to use their preferred EDA tools and licenses. - The collaboration extends beyond design through IC-Link's existing participation in the 3DFabric Alliance, connecting advanced processes with 2.5D/3D packaging capabilities. > The key is not simply access to $TSM's advanced nodes, but lowering the infrastructure barrier required to actually design on them, particularly for startups and research organizations without massive in-house EDA and compute resources. > The near-term revenue impact may be limited, but strategically this shows $TSM's ecosystem expanding from foundry into PDKs, EDA, cloud and advanced packaging. As AI ASIC and custom silicon activity grows, this could further strengthen $TSM's ecosystem lock-in.

LTX-2.5 🌞🌙 IC-LoRA Day-to-Night Relighting It re-renders a daytime video as the same shot at night while preserving composition, framing, camera movement, and subject motion frame-for-frame. 👇

LTX-2.5 🌊💧 IC-LoRA Water Simulation It adds water to a clip rivers, surf, rain, waterfalls, floods, splashes, spray, and wet-surface specularities while keeping everything identical to the reference. 👇

LTX-2.5 🤠 IC-LoRA Deblur It restores sharpness to out-of-focus / defocused video by conditioning on the blurry clip and regenerating it in sharp focus while preserving the original subject, framing, and scene geometry. 👇

LTX-2.5 🧐 IC-LoRA Colorization restores natural color to grayscale, monochrome, or desaturated video while keeping subject identity, framing, and geometry untouched — only the color information changes. 👇

The global IC substrate market will rise 32.3% year-on-year to US$19.51 billion in 2026 due to strong AI-related demand, media report, citing the Taiwan Printed Circuit Board Association. Last year, the market rose 18.5% to $14.75 billion, led by ABF substrates, vital for the GPUs inside AI servers, at $7.72 billion and BT substrates at $7.03 billion. #semiconductors# #substrates#

Why are IC prices rising so high? Non-existent money is buying unsold inventory for phantom GPUs and data centers that may never exist, powered by possibly fake infrastructure, to chase impossible profits.

@ChuteJerred @forallcurious IC 1101 (~98B solar masses) is the largest known. At Alpha Centauri distance, its event horizon would look noticeably bigger than TON 618's in this view.

LTX 2.5 😃 Clean Plate IC-LoRA It removes people and other dynamic subjects from a source video and reconstructs the empty background, producing a clean "clean plate" of the same scene 👇
