"White-haired stock market guru" Serenity: Semiconductor supply chain bottlenecks are worsening, and packaging and testing manufacturers are raising prices.
According to Odaily Odaily, Serenity, a well-known stock market guru, summarized recent semiconductor industry developments on the X platform, stating that multiple signs indicate a tightening semiconductor supply chain. Citing institutional and industry sources, he pointed out that Morgan Stanley has revised its 2026 shipment forecast for Chinese humanoid robots from 14,000 and 28,000 units at the beginning of the year to 50,000 units; probe cards and test sockets are expected to see price increases due to rising precious metal prices and a shortage of test pin capacity; and Yageo has raised prices for products such as MLCCs, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, polymer aluminum capacitors, film capacitors, and supercapacitors. In addition, Serenity stated that Meta's next-generation Vistara architecture will use DDR4 memory combined with CXL expansion; OpenAI has reportedly made a breakthrough in inference optimization, halving inference costs and reducing GPU requirements; and after Samsung signed long-term supply agreements (LTAs) with major US technology customers, MLCCs have also begun to adopt the long-term agreement supply model. The report also cited Digitimes, stating that OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Testing and Assembly) vendors have begun raising prices, and that memory and IC packaging and testing capacity has become a major bottleneck in the semiconductor supply chain.
Meta May Have Found a Fix for Its 'Pervert Glasses'
Meta is reportedly developing a version of its smart glasses without a camera, potentially addressing one of the biggest privacy objections to AI wearables.
Claude login emails expose "invisible location" feature, raising user privacy concerns about IP address-based location deduction.
According to Mars Finance, on July 1st, Beating's monitoring revealed that Anthropic's AI assistant Claude has recently sparked user discussion due to location hints in its login verification emails. Some users noticed that Claude includes a general login location, such as country, region, or city, when sending login verification codes or security alerts. This detail has brought renewed attention to how AI service providers identify the source of user access. Such locations are usually not precisely GPS-based, but rather inferred from IP addresses, network connections, and device information. When using VPNs, proxy servers, corporate networks, or mobile carrier networks, the location shown in the email may differ from the user's actual location. Anthropic's privacy policy states that the company collects IP addresses, device information, connection information, and locations inferred from IP addresses for security, fraud prevention, and enforcement of the terms of service. Claude users are particularly sensitive to this, partly because the service is not yet available in all regions, and cross-border use, overseas accounts, and third-party intermediary services are more common in the Chinese community. Recently, there have also been reports in the Chinese user community of accounts being suspended or requiring re-verification, which some users have dubbed a "ban wave."
Australian superannuation fund UniSuper plans to buy tech stocks on dips, ignoring concerns about an AI bubble.
According to Mars Finance, on July 8th, UniSuper, one of Australia's largest pension funds, is seeking to buy into US tech stocks during a pullback, ignoring concerns about high valuations and betting that artificial intelligence will drive earnings growth in the coming years. John Pearce, the fund's chief investment officer, stated that the fund is structurally overweight in US tech stocks because they are at the "sweet spot" of the AI spending cycle, and would increase its holdings even if the sector pulls back by 10%. This bullish stance highlights the growing divergence among investors regarding the long-term prospects of US mega-cap tech stocks—which are currently retreating from their record highs reached last month. Pearce stated, "Everyone is talking about a bubble, but valuations don't reflect that. We know they're investing heavily in capital expenditures, but they are fundamentally sound companies with strong growth prospects, so we're very happy to continue long." UniSuper, with assets under management of A$166 billion (approximately US$115 billion), has maintained an overweight position in US tech stocks for several months. International equities account for about 35% of its default investment strategy, with Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple being its largest holdings.

Fellowship; Tradeonhudi announced the upcoming launch of 24/7 leveraged perpetual equity contracts for the South Korean, Japanese, and Hong Kong markets; Turbos Finance released its Q2 2026 report, noting the launch of CLMM and its record-breaking single-day SUI-USDC trading volume exceeding $17 million, making it the highest-traded AMM DEX. The upcoming Sui Tunnels experiment will be open for testing network TPS limits under load.
HTX DeepThink: Meta's sale of AI computing power raises concerns, marking a new phase in the generational differentiation of computing power assets.
Chloe (@ChloeTalk1), a columnist for HTX DeepThink and a researcher at HTX Research, points out that Meta's recent sale of some AI computing power has sparked concerns about an oversupply of computing power, putting pressure on GPU cloud service providers and the semiconductor sector. However, from the perspective of the actual situation in the industry chain, this change cannot be simply interpreted as the peak of AI computing power demand. It is more likely that computing power assets are beginning to show generational differentiation: the previous generation of GPUs and non-core computing resources are gradually shifting to commercial leasing, while new-generation high-performance clusters such as Blackwell and Rubin remain relatively scarce.
