Google is reportedly making a massive strategic shift to secure its future in the AI era. According to industry insiders on May 15, 2026, the tech giant is negotiating a direct “Apple-style” partnership with TSMC, the world’s leading chip foundry. By bypassing traditional intermediaries like Broadcom, Google aims to gain total control over its custom Tensor AI chips. This move comes as the global supply chain tightens due to the explosive growth of “Agentic AI,” making priority manufacturing capacity more valuable than gold.
