Apple Rarely Signs 3-5 Year NAND Long-Term Contracts, Possibly Without Price Caps; AI Demand Squeezes Capacity, Shifting Bargaining Power in Memory Market
Apple is negotiating a three- to five-year long-term contract for NAND flash memory with Kioxia, potentially without a price cap. This marks a shift in its procurement strategy from "price suppression + multi-sourcing" to "volume locking + long-term contracts." The transition stems from intense competition among AI data center clients for storage capacity, compelling Apple to prioritize supply security. Pricing power in the memory chip market is shifting from buyers to sellers, and the duration of this memory cycle may exceed traditional market expectations.

In-depth Interview with OpenAI President: Astra Is the First Model Trained on 100,000 GPUs, Crossing the “Application Threshold”
Brockman believes that OpenAI may have already entered the era of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Astra represents not only an upgrade in model capabilities but also potentially signals AI’s entry into the “computer use” era: it can directly operate various software applications without relying on API connectors. As model capabilities leap forward, the carefully constructed “skill scaffolds” of the past may instead become constraints, as AI is now capable of generalizing independently and identifying more optimal processing methods.
