United Daily News reported that the dinner was called the "banquet of the century."

An official from Taiwan's semiconductor industry commented, "It is as if the core decision-making teams for AI from both companies have fully assembled," and explained, "This means that the speed of mass production for subsequent AI platforms, supply chain collaboration, and production capacity management have all entered a highly integrated operational phase."
