Shares of ASML falling today as the company missed its sales forecast but stuck to its full-year outlook. Net sales fell over 21 percent year-over-year, while net income dropped over 37 percent. ASML is highly important to the semiconductor industry as it builds machines that are required for manufacturing chips globally. Last year, weaker demand for consumer electronics hit chipmakers that produce for those devices, which has in turn impacted ASML. That's all for today.

If ByteDance follows through, it will become one of the world\u2019s top owners of Nvidia chips, despite U.S. efforts to restrict Chinese companies from buying U.S. AI chips like these.\nIn 2022, the U.S. announced export restrictions on certain kinds of AI chips to countries, including China, where ByteDance is headquartered. These restrictions have gotten tighter multiple times since.\nByteDance is technically adhering to these restrictions by using a loophole: The company isn\u2019t bringing the chips directly to China and is instead storing them in data centers located in other regions like Southeast Asia, according to The Information\u2019s reporting. This doesn\u2019t technically violate U.S. restrictions.\nByteDance runs Doubao, China\u2019s \u201chottest\u201d AI chatbot with 51 million active users, according to the South China Morning Post.\nTechCrunch reached out to ByteDance for more information.\n\ntitle1:\nUS Treasury says China accessed government documents in 'major' cyberattack\ndescription1:\nThe U.S. Treasury told lawmakers in a letter Monday that it was hit by a cyberattack earlier in December, which the department has attributed to Chinese government hackers.\nIn the letter shared with senior U.S. House lawmakers, which TechCrunch has seen, the Treasury said the hackers gained remote access to certain Treasury employee workstations and had access to unclassified documents, in what it described as a \u201cmajor cybersecurity incident.\u201d\nThe Treasury said it was notified on December 8 by BeyondTrust, a company that provides identity access and remote support tech for large organizations and government departments, that hackers had \u201cgained access to a key used by the vendor\u201d for providing remote access technical support to Treasury employees. BeyondTrust disclosed the incident at the time, but did not say how the key was obtained.\nA spokesperson for BeyondTrust did not respond to a request for comment at press time.\nThe letter said the department engaged U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA for assistance and, as of December 30, it has \u201cno evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury information.\u201d\nThe Treasury confirmed in the letter that it attributed the breach to a China state-sponsored advanced persistent threat group, indicating backing from the Chinese government. It\u2019s not clear which group was behind the intrusion, and a spokesperson would not say.\nIn a brief statement, Treasury spokesperson Michael Gwin said that the hackers were able to \u201cremotely access several Treasury user workstations and certain unclassified documents maintained by those users.\u201d\n\u201cTreasury takes very seriously all threats against our systems, and the data it holds. Over the last four years, Treasury has significantly bolstered its cyber defense, and we will continue to work with both private and public sector partners to protect our financial system from threat actors,\u201d the spokesperson said.\nThis is the latest cyberattack linked to China that has targeted the U.S. government in recent months. China-backed hackers dubbed Salt Tycoon were behind a wave of cyberattacks targeting U.S. phone companies and internet giants, including AT&T and Verizon, in a bid to get access to the private communications of senior U.S. government officials, including presidential candidates.\nLiu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., denied the U.S. government\u2019s attribution of the cyberattack to the Chinese government, arguing that the United States did not present evidence of its claims.\nUpdated with comment from the Chinese government.\nDo you know more about the BeyondTrust cyberattack or the incident at the Treasury?

Some of the location data was accurate to a few centimeters, they said, with the data showing most of the vehicles found across Germany, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom (in descending order), among others.\nCariad fixed the bug that led to the exposure and said that it has no evidence to suggest anyone other than the security researchers had access to the exposed data. Cariad has struggled in recent years, plagued by delays to major software launches and a restructuring that has eliminated hundreds of jobs.\n\ntitle3:\nBlue Origin looks to take on SpaceX dominance with New Glenn launch days away\ndescription3:\nNearly a quarter century after its founding, Jeff Bezos\u2019 Blue Origin is gearing up to launch an orbital rocket for the first time \u2014 and finally enter the competitive launch industry that is currently dominated by SpaceX.\nCompany executives have maintained that they are planning to launch the towering rocket, called New Glenn, before the year is out. However, an air traffic advisory posted last week suggests that Blue Origin may conduct the launch no earlier than January 6.\nRegardless, there is little left for the company to do in terms of pre-launch tests or paperwork: Blue Origin received its launch license for New Glenn from federal regulators last week, which authorizes launches for five years. That same day, the company successfully conducted a launch dress rehearsal called a hot fire test. All that\u2019s left on the checklist, Blue Origin CEO David Limp confirmed, is connecting the fairing, which carries the rocket\u2019s payload.\nWhen the rocket does finally launch, seven of the Blue Origin-made BE-4 engines will fire up to generate over 3.8 million pounds of thrust and propel the rocket away from its launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The 320-foot-tall rocket will carry demonstrator technology for Blue Origin\u2019s Blue Ring spacecraft, an orbital transfer vehicle that\u2019s designed to provide transportation, logistics, and satellite servicing.\nNew Glenn and Blue Ring are just two of several products Blue Origin has been developing to compete in multiple areas of the space industry. The company is ultimately looking to go up against several competitors \u2014 not just up against SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9, which currently launches the lion\u2019s share of national security and commercial satellite payloads \u2014 that are developing lunar landers, private space stations, and more.\nUp until this point, Blue Origin has mostly been known for its New Shepard suborbital rocket, which carries space tourists and some cargo up to suborbital space and back in brief flights.\nIf all goes to plan, New Glenn\u2019s booster will return to Earth and land vertically on a floating barge, to be refurbished and reused up to 25 times. NASA also tapped Blue Origin to launch twin spacecraft to Mars \u2014 those satellites were supposed to fly on this inaugural mission, but after the launch was delayed from October, the space agency decided to remanifest them on a later New Glenn launch. Blue Origin also has signed launch deals with the Space Force, Amazon\u2019s Project Kuiper, and other commercial companies.\n\ntitle4:\nNvidia completes acquisition of AI infrastructure startup Run:ai\ndescription4:\nIn Brief\nNvidia has completed its acquisition of Run:ai, an Israeli startup that helps manage and optimize AI hardware infrastructure.\nAs part of the merger, Run:ai said its software, which currently only works with Nvidia products, will be open sourced, meaning Nvidia rivals like AMD and Intel will be able to adapt it for their hardware.\n\u201cWe are eager to build on the achievements we\u2019ve obtained until now, expand our talented team, and grow our product and market reach,\u201d Run:ai told Bloomberg in a statement. \u201cOpen sourcing the software will enable it to extend its availability to the entire AI ecosystem.\u201d\nNvidia announced its intent to acquire Run:ai in April. At the time, sources told TechCrunch that the price tag was $700 million. But the deal ran into regulatory hurdles. The European Commission and U.S. Department of Justice launched separate investigations into whether Nvidia\u2019s purchase would harm competition.\nThe European Commission approved the deal in December.\"\n\nResponse:", + "Script": "i'm wall-e, and this is your ai briefing for tuesday, december 31st. bytedance, the parent company of tiktok, is reportedly planning to purchase a staggering $7 billion worth of nvidia chips in 2025, according to the information. this move comes despite the u.s. tightening restrictions on chinese companies acquiring these ai-enhanced chips. bytedance is taking an innovative approach to these restrictions by storing the chips in data centers located in regions such as southeast asia to avoid breaching u.s. guidelines. this acquisition strategy could potentially make bytedance one of the top owners of nvidia chips globally.\n\nmeanwhile, the u.s. treasury has confirmed it was targeted by a significant cyberattack attributed to chinese government hackers. hackers obtained remote access to certain workstations and unclassified documents earlier this month, as detailed in a letter to lawmakers. the incident has drawn the attention of the u.s. cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency (cisa), with the treasury affirming there is currently no evidence of continued unauthorized access.\n\nin europe, volkswagen's software division, cariad, reportedly left terabytes of vehicle location data exposed online for months. key details on the location of around 460,000 vehicles were publicly accessible, according to reports from security researchers. volkswagen moved swiftly to fix the flaw and stated there\u2019s no evidence that anyone other than the researchers accessed the data.\n\nin space news, jeff bezos' blue origin is on the cusp of launching the new glenn, its first orbital rocket, eyeing a date early in january. this significant development will position blue origin alongside spacex in the competitive commercial launch market. new glenn, featuring seven be-4 engines, aims to offer versatile services and is set for multiple missions, including plans with nasa and commercial partners.\n\nlastly, nvidia has successfully completed its acquisition of run:ai, a startup specializing in ai infrastructure. run:ai's software, initially exclusive to nvidia, will now be open-sourced, allowing broader industry utilization across competitors like amd and intel. this development is expected to further nvidia's reach and influence within the ai ecosystem.\n\nthat's all for today. we'll see you back here tomorrow for more updates", + "Polished Script": "i'm wall-e, welcoming you to today's tech briefing for tuesday, december 31st. bytedance, the parent company of tiktok, is reportedly gearing up for a massive purchase of nvidia chips worth $7 billion by 2025. this ambitious move comes in light of tightened u.s. regulations restricting chinese firms from acquiring these ai-enhanced chips. to navigate these restrictions, bytedance plans to store the chips in data centers located outside china, including in southeast asia. if successful, this strategy could position bytedance as one of the top global owners of nvidia chips.\n\nswitching gears to cybersecurity, the u.s. treasury revealed it has been the target of a significant cyberattack by hackers linked to the chinese government. the attackers gained remote access to some workstations and unclassified documents earlier this month. the u.s. cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency is actively responding, although the treasury confirmed no ongoing unauthorized access at this time.\n\nover in europe, volkswagen's software arm, cariad, has come under scrutiny after security researchers discovered that terabytes of vehicle location data were publicly exposed online for months. this flaw affected around 460,000 vehicles, but volkswagen quickly rectified the issue and reports no unauthorized access beyond the researchers.\n\nin space developments, jeff bezos' blue origin is on the brink of launching its new glenn rocket next month. this marks a significant milestone for blue origin, aligning it with spacex in the competitive commercial spaceflight sector. the new glenn, featuring seven be-4 engines, is poised to serve multiple missions, including partnerships with nasa and commercial entities.\n\nfinally, in the ai realm, nvidia has finalized its acquisition of run:ai, a startup focusing on ai infrastructure. previously exclusive to nvidia, run:ai\u2019s software will now be open-sourced, potentially leveling the playing field with competitors like amd and intel and expanding nvidia's influence across the ai ecosystem.\n\nthat's all for today. we'll see you back here tomorrow for more tech updates", + "Podcast Title": "EP-184 Bytedance's Nvidia Chip Gamble \ud83d\udcb0, U.s.
