  "account": "South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics is reportedly raising prices for its chip fabrication orders due to a boom in artificial intelligence (AI) demand, according to insiders. Prices for some advanced procedures have increased by up to 15 percent for new contracts, two sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. The demand is so high that capacities are nearly full. Chinese customers, constrained by U.S. export restrictions and willing to pay the highest premiums, are among the most aggressive buyers, insiders said. Samsung declined to comment. The price hikes represent a turnaround for the long loss-making division as Samsung seeks to catch up with Taiwan-based chipmaker TSMC. With TSMC's capacities largely booked by the high demand for AI chips, Samsung has more room to hike prices. Analysts predict the division could become profitable as early as next year, sooner than previously expected. Samsung has recently secured major clients like Tesla and Apple and is reportedly in talks with Google.",
