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.
