官方定调：电路评估从流片量转向使用量Official: circuit evaluation shifts from tape-out volume to usage
TapeOut 官方账号连发十余条推文，称电路数量只代表造了多少，下一阶段要看是否被真正使用，并点出三个问题：元件有没有被其他应用重复调用、开发者有没有在其上继续构建、用户会不会回来。这等于把评估生态的尺度从流片量换成使用量；对开发者而言，做一个别人愿意接着用的元件，可能比再多流几片更有价值。TapeOut's official account posted more than ten tweets in a row, saying the number of circuits only shows how much has been built and that the next stage is whether they are actually used. It raised three questions: are components reused by other applications, are developers continuing to build on them, and will users come back. The move shifts the yardstick for the ecosystem from tape-out volume to usage, with the team noting that building a component others want to keep using may be worth more than taping out a few more chips.
