The cost of AI chips is increasingly dominated by memory components like HBM, which are projected to account for 63% of chip parts cost by late 2025, potentially leading to memory shortages and price hikes. Meanwhile, companies are finding that AI tools can be more expensive than human labor, with Microsoft and Uber experiencing significant costs from AI coding assistants and agents. In response, some are developing open-source solutions like DeepSeek Reasonix for efficient coding and KanBots for parallel agent execution on Kanban boards, while Hancom is partnering with LG to supply its AI agents to LG's ChatExaone platform.
