Abstract

1980年代,日本半导体产业的崛起曾引发美国对芯片供应链自主的战略焦虑。四十年后,类似的控制欲以更个人的形式体现在伊隆·马斯克身上。据披露,其旗下SpaceX计划在得克萨斯州投资550亿美元启动名为“Terafab”的芯片制造设施建设,远期总投入可能高达1190亿美元,规模惊人。 此举源于马斯克旗下公司群(SpaceX、Tesla、xAI等)对GPU算力的巨大需求。其战略逻辑是从依赖外部供应商转向内部垂直整合,意图掌控从芯片制造到算力部署的完整AI基础设施堆栈。这被视为一项面向未来的“15年战略”,野心远超苹果等仅专注于芯片设计的公司。 然而,半导体制造充满挑战,建设周期长、技术门槛高、供应链复杂。分析指出,即便顺利推进,Terafab最早也要到2028年中期才有芯片产出。但其意义超越短期商业回报,折射出AI时代行业对“算力自主”的深层追求——算力已成为核心生产资料。 Terafab的宣布也恰逢SpaceX推进IPO之际,被部分观察者视为将特斯拉与SpaceX及AI叙事捆绑的资本策略之一。无论其最终能否成功落地,当一家火箭公司决心跨界造芯,已然重新定义了行业的竞争边界与可能性。

1980 年代,日本半导体产业如日中天,一度占据全球芯片市场超过 50% 的份额。

美国人坐不住了——不是因为买不到芯片,而是因为他们意识到,一个国家如果无法掌控自己的「硅」,就等于把战略命脉交给了别人。于是有了《半导体协议》,有了后来的 Intel 复兴,有了今天的《芯片法案》。

四十年后,同样的焦虑以一种更私人的方式,出现在了伊隆·马斯克身上。

只不过这一次,想要掌控「硅」的,不是一个国家,而是一个人——以及他旗下的一簇公司。

5 月 6 日,Bloomberg 披露了一份文件: SpaceX 正式提议在得克萨斯州 Grimes County 投资 550 亿美元 ,启动「Terafab」的芯片制造设施建设计划。如果后续阶段全部推进, 总资本支出可能冲上 1190 亿美元 。

先把数字换算一下,感受一下规模。

550 亿美元,大约是台积电 2023 年全年营收的两倍多。1190 亿美元,则接近英伟达整个 2024 财年的营收巅峰。这不是一笔「投资」,这是一场豪赌——或者说,一次战略宣言。

这个项目是 SpaceX 和特斯拉的联合计划。马斯克的逻辑很清晰: 他的公司群——SpaceX、Tesla、xAI——每年要消耗天量的 GPU 算力 。训练 Grok 需要芯片,Starlink 的地面站网络需要芯片,特斯拉的自动驾驶需要芯片,未来的人形机器人 Optimus 也需要芯片。

与其每年给英伟达送钱,不如把钱送给自己。

从战略逻辑上说,这无懈可击。

01 马斯克的垂直整合野心

要理解 Terafab,你得先理解马斯克过去两年在干什么。

2025 年,xAI 收购了社交媒体平台 X。今年年初,SpaceX 又以全股票方式吞下了 xAI。与此同时,SpaceX 的 IPO 计划正在推进,路演窗口据称将在 6 月 8 日前后开启,S-1 注册文件预计本月下旬提交。

这是一张越来越密的网:火箭、卫星宽带、AI 模型、社交平台、电动车、人形机器人......而现在,芯片制造也要纳入版图。

DataCenter Knowledge 的分析一针见血:Terafab 最好不要被理解成一座「工厂」,而应该被 理解成一套「完整堆栈的 AI 基础设施战略」 ——试图把计算生产、能源采购和算力部署统一在同一个屋檐下。

这就像亚马逊不只想卖书,还想自建货运网络、自建数据中心、自建物流卫星——只不过马斯克要在此基础上再加一条:自建「生产计算的工厂」。

Apple 当年把 A 系列芯片自研,被认为是科技史上最成功的垂直整合决策之一。但 Apple 只是「设计」芯片,制造还是交给台积电。马斯克想做的,是连制造也一起拿走。

这个野心,连 Apple 都没敢碰。

02 「15 年战略」的背后

不过,战略愿景和工程现实之间,永远隔着一条深沟。

Creative Strategies 的芯片分析师 Ben Bajarin 用了一个有意思的表述, 他说马斯克在做的是一项「15 年战略」 ——这句话听起来像夸奖,但背后的意思是:别指望短期看到回报。

摩根士丹利的预测更直接。他们评估,即便在最乐观的建设假设下, Terafab 的初始芯片产出最早也要到 2028 年中期 。从今天算,还有两年多。而那时候,AI 芯片的技术代际会走到哪里,没有人知道。

半导体制造的残酷在于,它是世界上最不宽容「PPT 承诺」的行业。

一座先进制程晶圆厂的建设,通常需要 3-5 年,需要极其精密的光刻机(全球只有 ASML 能造高端 EUV)、需要数以千计的高度专业化工程师、需要稳定的超纯水和电力供应、需要一整套精密的洁净室管理体系。Intel 花了数百亿美元、数年时间,在制程技术上依然追赶台积电艰难。

Finance Monthly 的分析直接点出了这个风险:芯片项目容易被低估执行难度,缓慢、昂贵,容易延迟,依赖专业机械、熟练劳动力和已经高度紧张的供应链。

有意思的是,Intel CEO 陈立武在被问及 Terafab 时,给出了一个措辞微妙的回应,他表示「 兴奋地探索创新方式来重构硅工艺技术 」。这句话可以被解读为合作信号,也可以被解读为对市场供需紧张的侧面确认——甚至两者都是。

03 不只是生意

但如果只把 Terafab 看成一门生意的投资回报计算,可能从一开始就错了分析框架。

这件事真正有意思的地方,在于它折射出整个 AI 行业对「算力自主」越来越深的执念。

过去三年,AI 军备竞赛的本质,已经从「谁的模型更聪明」演变成「谁能拿到更多算力」。英伟达的 H100、H200、GB200 一货难求,台积电的先进制程产能被提前锁定多年。微软、谷歌、亚马逊、Meta 在自研 AI 芯片上的投入已经以百亿美元计。

马斯克的逻辑,和这些大厂其实是同一套: 在 AI 时代,算力就是生产资料,谁控制了芯片,谁就控制了 AI 。

而 Terafab 的出现,叠加在 SpaceX 即将到来的 IPO 之上,又多了一层更复杂的含义。一位科技媒体编辑在评论中写道,这个公告的设计,有一部分是为了「将处于压力下的特斯拉,与即将上市的 SpaceX 和 AI 超级计算叙事绑在一起」。

这个判断未必完全公允,但也并非空穴来风。就在几个月前,马斯克亲口承认「xAI 建设得不对」,不得不由 SpaceX 出手整合。在这个背景下,Terafab 的高调亮相,既是战略布局,也是资本叙事——两件事并不矛盾。

马斯克从来不只做一件事。

现在,Starship Flight 12 的发射窗口在 5 月 12 日到 18 日之间,Dragon 货运飞船也将在同一天飞往国际空间站。SpaceX 的火箭业务依旧在轰轰烈烈地运转。

而在德克萨斯州 Grimes County,一块可能改写 AI 时代芯片供应链格局的土地,还只是一份文件上的坐标。

1190 亿美元,能不能变成一座真正运转的晶圆厂,没有人能保证。但有一件事已经确定——当一家以造火箭闻名的公司决定造芯片,这个行业的边界,又一次被重新定义了。

DeepSeek Announces Permanent Price Cut, But Liang Wenfeng Is Not Trying to Be a "Cyber Bodhisattva"

DeepSeek has announced a permanent 75% discount on its V4-Pro API, significantly reducing its token prices. This move stands out as a major industry-wide price cut while competitors like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have been quietly raising theirs. The article contrasts this strategy with the broader trend of AI becoming more expensive, citing examples of companies like Microsoft and Uber struggling with high token costs as usage soars. While CEO Liang Wenfeng is hailed by some as a "Cyber Bodhisattva" for this普惠 approach, the article argues this is a strategic business choice, not mere altruism. DeepSeek's ability to maintain low prices is attributed to several structural advantages: lower-cost AI talent in China, the impending use of domestic昇腾 hardware for further cost reductions, and, most critically, access to China's cheaper and more abundant energy infrastructure, which drastically reduces the electricity costs dominating AI operations. The analysis suggests that for many commercial applications, a "good enough" model that is radically cheaper (e.g., 1% to 11% of GPT-5.5's cost) is more valuable than the absolute top-tier model. This allows for vastly more experimentation and iteration within a budget. Therefore, as AI generally becomes more expensive, DeepSeek's cost-competitiveness—rooted in China's energy and talent advantages—becomes its core strategic value and differentiator in the global market.

The Veil of Mythos Becomes Anthropic's Lever to Move Trillions

The article discusses Anthropic's reported upcoming $30 billion funding round, which would value the company at over $900 billion. It analyzes how the company has leveraged strategic narratives around its unreleased "Mythos" model, rather than just its publicly available products, to drive this massive valuation. Key points include Google's surprising $40 billion investment in a competitor, suggesting it is buying strategic positioning. Anthropic's "Glasswing" cybersecurity project and the unreleased Mythos model are portrayed not through direct proof, but through carefully crafted narratives of being "too powerful for public release," creating an aura of exclusive, high-level capability. This is bolstered by reports of the White House and NSA seeking access to Claude/Mythos despite previous security concerns, implying indispensable technology. Furthermore, Anthropic's reported rapid revenue growth—from a $1 billion annual run-rate in late 2024 to over $30 billion by April 2026, largely driven by enterprise API and Claude Code—provides a financial story for investors. The article concludes that Anthropic's core business model is effectively converting unverifiable technical potential, government interest, and future revenue projections into a compelling narrative that secures immense capital, using the actions of wealthy investors and powerful institutions as the ultimate validation of its worth.
