Memory chip shortage to persist until 2028; Home Assistant pivots from cloud; Tesla sales dip

Executives from memory chip manufacturers like Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung anticipate a continued shortage of dynamic random-access memory and NAND flash through 2028. This scarcity is attributed to factors including geopolitical tensions in Taiwan and China, and increased demand. Meanwhile, the smart home platform Home Assistant is rebranding its cloud service to Home Assistant Link, emphasizing a move away from cloud dependency due to dissatisfaction with Big Tech's cloud practices. Separately, Tesla reported a year-over-year decline in vehicle sales for the third quarter, indicating a slowdown after a previous surge driven by federal tax credits. AI

IMPACT Continued memory shortages could impact AI hardware development and deployment costs. Home Assistant's move away from the cloud may influence smart home AI integration strategies.
