SEMICONDUCTORS — AI News Platform
Overview
SEMICONDUCTORS is an AI-powered news and analytics platform focused on the semiconductor industry. It combines price and signal charts with curated articles, LLM-generated insights, and an embedded chat experience, built as a solution for a single large institutional client.
The product is essentially a rebirth of the PUMP project: it reuses the trading and charting foundations from PUMP, but pivots the experience toward news and research workflows rather than social-media feeds.
Relationship to PUMP
- Reused the proven PUMP infrastructure for time-series data, charting, and sentiment overlays.
- Added a dedicated news layer: articles, summaries, and AI insights tied to tickers and semiconductor themes.
- Extended the UI to surface:
- multi-panel chart layouts
- AI-generated article insights
- a ticker-aware chat panel (PUMP Chat) for research questions.
The result is a focused platform where analysts can move seamlessly between performance charts, relevant news, and LLM assistance in a single screen.

- Implemented layouts for charts, article feeds, and AI insights.
- Sep 2024 – Feb 2025 – Project on hold
- Core work paused while I focused on the QSIM project.
- Feb 2025 – ~May 2025 – Second phase
- Returned to SEMICONDUCTORS to deepen the AI news experience:
- Built daily and weekly summaries on a dedicated page.
- Added parsers for new news sources into the pipeline.

Key Product Features
AI News & Insights
- Aggregates semiconductor-related news from multiple sources.
- Uses LLMs to:
- summarize long-form articles,
- extract key drivers, risks, and sentiment,
- surface ticker- and theme-specific insights.
- Displays insights alongside charts, so users can connect price moves with the news context behind them.
Daily & Weekly Summary Pages
- Dedicated page for daily and weekly semiconductor market digests.
- Summaries generated by LLMs from the latest articles and signals.
- Structured sections such as:
- key movers and themes,
- notable company-specific events,
- macro/industry-level developments.
- Designed to be a quick “morning briefing” for the client’s research team.
Chat & Research Workflow
- Embedded chat panel that understands tickers and topics (e.g., “Trade ideas about NVDA?”).
- Chat responses blend:
- knowledge from recent news,
- general company context,
- links back to original sources when needed.
- Conversation history kept within the current asset or view to maintain context.
Data & Orchestration
- Implemented and extended Python + Prefect flows for:
- fetching articles from multiple news providers,
- normalizing and cleaning text,
- routing content to LLMs for summarization and tagging,
- storing processed data for charts, insights, and summaries.
- Added new parsers during the second phase to broaden coverage and improve signal quality.
- Coordinated Prefect schedules, retries, and monitoring so daily and weekly summaries arrived reliably for the client’s workflows.
Tech Stack
- Backend
- Python
- FastAPI (REST APIs for charts, news, insights, and chat)
- Prefect (ETL and orchestration for news ingestion and LLM pipelines)
- Frontend
- Nuxt 3 (SPA mode)
- Vue 3 Composition API
- Vuetify as the main design system for layouts, navigation, and cards
SEMICONDUCTORS showcases how the original PUMP trading engine can be repurposed into a news-centric research product, layering LLM-powered summaries and chat on top of familiar analytics views for a single high-value client.
