Korean and global tech firms unveil a $950B AI deal, while Unitree’s G1 teardown wins Japan’s respect
创业邦 · wechat · 2026-07-26
This roundup combines several industrial and tech items, but two are most relevant to AI:
- A Japanese teardown video of Unitree’s G1 humanoid robot is described as evidence that Chinese humanoid robotics has moved beyond “demo-only” territory. The piece argues Japan’s gap with China in humanoids is not likely to close quickly.
- A separate report says South Korean conglomerates and global tech firms, including Nvidia, agreed on cooperation projects worth $950 billion. The package includes a long-term supply deal for high-performance semiconductors, plus a plan for a 5 GW AI data center with 2 million GPUs. Naver is also said to be building a $10 billion global AI factory with Nvidia and Brookfield.
The article also mentions strong demand in consumer 3D printing and storage batteries, and a zero-carbon airport in Inner Mongolia, but those are secondary to the AI infrastructure angle.
