๐Ÿง  The $800M โ€œnoโ€ to Meta When a startup says no to nearly a billion dollars, you pay attention. South Koreaโ€“based FuriosaAI, which designs high-performance chips for artificial intelligence, just turned down an $800M acquisition offer from Meta. Instead of cashing out, the company is doubling down on independence โ€” betting that the AI chip war is just getting started, and theyโ€™ve got what it takes to go the distance. Itโ€™s a gutsy move in a field dominated by giants. Nvidia rules the AI chip market, and Metaโ€™s been racing to reduce its dependence on external hardware. Furiosaโ€™s rejection signals confidence not just in its tech, but in a broader trend: AI infrastructure is the new oil, and startups with the right product might no longer need a Big Tech lifeline. Also, as semiconductors become a geopolitical flashpoint, countries like South Korea are eager to develop their champions. Furiosa might just be next in line.

China is sprinting in semiconductors- set to hit 10.1M wafers per month in 2025, nearly a third of global capacity. Taiwan and South Korea trail with 5.8M and 5.4M. India? Just 0.1%. The gap is massive. But, India powers 20% of the worldโ€™s chip desi
