    ChipBook: How To Use Open Source Data To Drive Investment Decisions

    This week the team from ChipBook (formerly Chips & Wafers) joins. Jordan Nanos talks with Chaim Eisenberg and Simi Sherman as they explore how they build the ChipBook with open source data, and how that drives investment decisions. This episode dives deep into the ChipBook itself, revealing how granular, historical data collection provides insights into supply chain dynamics, memory markets, wafer fabrication equipment trends and more. The guests also share compelling examples of how their data-driven approach has generated some viral social media recently.for more: SemiAnalysis.com/chipbook00:00 The Chipbook: Understanding Open Source Data07:56 Granularity in Data: The Key to Investment Insights09:11 Understanding the Semiconductor Supply Chain10:52 Memory Market Insights and Trends14:23 Tracking WFE and Its Impact on Production15:20 The Importance of Early Signals in Investment16:51 Geopolitical Implications on Semiconductor Supply20:24 The Impact of Tariffs and Regulations22:48 Granular Tracking for Investment Decisions27:07 Data-Driven Insights and Investment Strategies29:13 The Structure of the Chipbook33:02 Collaboration and Integration at Semi Analysis37:02 Geopolitical Analysis and Its Impact on TSMC43:48 Helium Supply Chain and Its Importance

    Claude Code Psychosis: How SemiAnalysis Is Token Mogging Meta (Dan Nishball, Sam Harshe, Jordan Nanos)

    Jordan Nanos (@jordannanos) Daniel Nishball (@dnishball) and Sam Harshe (@sharshe02) break down how SemiAnalysis is deploying Claude Code agents across its Singapore office at a scale that outpaces Meta on a per-employee basis. They cover the practical workflow changes, the trust and reliability questions that come with AI-generated analysis, and what it actually takes to build an agent swarm that does useful work. The conversation also gets into cybersecurity risks and where AI model development is headed next.00:00 - Introduction and Team Dynamics09:10 - The Evolution of Agent Utilization14:49 - Conference Insights and Research Efficiency15:58 - AI's Role in Learning and Analysis21:13 - Trust and Reliability in AI Outputs27:04 - Market Impact and Adoption of AI Tools32:14 - Cybersecurity and AI: Opportunities and Challenges39:32 - Future of AI Models and User Experience

    Core Research: Investing in AI Infrastructure Choke Points

    The Core Research team is on SemiAnalysis Weekly this week. Jordan Nanos, Nick Doyle, Nigel Chiang, and Konrad Wang walk through the biggest bottlenecks in AI infrastructure: TSMC capacity constraints, PCB and substrate shortages, memory cycle dynamics, modular data center construction, and behind-the-meter power. The team also gets into how Claude Code is transforming their day-to-day research, what enterprise AI adoption actually looks like today, and the signals they're watching for when the cycle turns.

    The AI Silicon Shortage Explained: TSMC, Nvidia CPO, Memory Crisis & What Comes Next

    This week, Sravan Kundojjala (@SKundojjala) and Ivan Chiam ( from our team join Jordan (@JordanNanos) to break down the AI silicon shortage — and why its ripple effects are hitting everything from GPU pricing to your next smartphone.We cover what's driving the crisis, how TSMC is allocating scarce capacity across its biggest customers, and why memory constraints could cut consumer electronics production by 10–15%. We dig into TSMC's $70B+ capex plans, the structural dynamics reshaping the memory market, and near-term node migration strategies that could offer some relief. Then we shift to the GPU rental market, tracking real pricing trends and what they signal about supply and demand heading into the back half of the year.In the second half, we unpack Nvidia's co-packaged optics (CPO) roadmap — one of the most significant infrastructure announcements to come out of recent industry events. We cover highlights from the OFC conference, explain why optical interconnects matter for next-gen AI clusters, and break down the dueling MSA standards battle playing out across the optical components industry.Whether you're an investor, engineer, or just trying to understand why AI hardware is so hard to get right now — this one's for you.
