Resolves YES if, on or before 2026-12-31, TSMC's CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) advanced packaging capacity is no longer the binding constraint on advanced AI accelerator production, per publicly accessible evidence.
Public evidence sources accepted for resolution:
TSMC public statement (earnings call transcript on SEC EDGAR equivalent / Taiwan Stock Exchange filings, or company press release) indicating CoWoS capacity meets or exceeds customer demand
NVIDIA, AMD, or other major customer public statement indicating CoWoS capacity is no longer their bottleneck
Public research reports from Epoch AI, CSET, or government statistical agencies on advanced-packaging supply
The criterion is "no longer binding" — i.e., the marginal additional unit of CoWoS capacity does not produce a meaningful increase in available AI accelerator units. This requires affirmative public evidence; absence of evidence resolves NO.
Resolution date: 2026-12-31.
