KAIST researcher behind Google's TurboQuant: Memory demand will hold

South Korea's KAIST, the country's leading science and technology university, said the compression technology behind Google's TurboQuant will strengthen memory semiconductor demand rather than weaken it, pushing back against the investor fears that drove chip stocks lower this week. The university's assessment carries unusual weight as KAIST electrical engineering professor Han In-su co-developed two of TurboQuant's three underlying algorithms and remains a visiting researcher at Google.
