    Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt Says OpenAI and Anthropic Are Like Modern Colonial Trading Companies

    Historian Niall Ferguson, researcher Lisa Klaassen, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt wrote in Foreign Affairs, comparing OpenAI and Anthropic to colonial-era East India Companies, arguing that they negotiate with governments but remain constrained by them. The article cites the example of the U.S. Commerce Department in June requiring Anthropic to cut off foreign nationals' access to its two most powerful models; because Anthropic could not verify users' nationalities in real time, it took Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offline worldwide. About two weeks later, export controls on Fable 5 were lifted, while Mythos 5 remains available only to certain U.S. institutions. The authors also say U.S. tech companies plan to invest more than $600 billion in 2026, much of it debt-financed, while China plans to invest $295 billion over five years, and they propose an "imperial trilemma" in which defense, technological leadership, and the welfare state are difficult to achieve at the same time.

    Bill Ackman predicts AI will help Israel produce a trillion-dollar company, and warns that democratic socialism threatens the US economy

    At the ARC Summit at Sheba Medical Center, Bill Ackman predicted that AI will help Israel produce a trillion-dollar company, while warning that the rise of democratic socialism is threatening the US and Israeli economies. He believes the biggest risk to the US economy is political polarization, and said that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's remarks fuel the risk of antisemitism and that tax policies are driving wealthy people to leave.

    Nomura: Memory Chip Shortage to Persist Until 2028, AI Capex Remains Resilient

    Nomura Securities believes that market concerns about the outlook for AI investment are "overreactions," that the memory chip shortage will persist until 2028, and that memory sector valuations are severely undervalued. It estimates that global new data center capacity will grow about 41% next year, from 22.3 gigawatts to 31.5 gigawatts; the combined net cash flow of nine semiconductor companies will rise from $282 billion in the second quarter of this year to about $2 trillion by the end of 2028. Nomura maintains "Buy" ratings on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

    SemiAnalysis Founder Analyzes AI Investment, Nvidia's Moat and the Memory Shortage

    At CASPA's 35th Annual Conference, SemiAnalysis founder Dylan Patel and Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon discussed the outlook for AI infrastructure investment, arguing that with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield breaking above 5% and unsecured bonds from emerging cloud service providers yielding close to 15%, financing capacity is becoming a key constraint on expansion. The two judged that substrates and memory are bottlenecks harder to scale than power, that HBM requires roughly 3 to 4 times as many wafers as DDR5, and that if new capacity is concentrated in releases after 2028, memory prices and profit margins could come under pressure. Nvidia still supports its pricing through performance gains, but Google TPU, Amazon Trainium, and the custom chips of OpenAI and Anthropic are eroding its share and bargaining power.

    Nomura: 75% probability the AI arms race continues; 2027 memory chip shortage essentially locked in

    Nomura's global memory research team estimates roughly a 75% probability that the AI investment race continues and the semiconductor supercycle persists, about a 20% probability of capex slowdown, and about 5% from financing failure. 2027 memory supply volumes and prices were locked in via long-term agreements in October 2026, and defaulting parties may need to pay security deposits equivalent to 50% to 100% of the annual demand value. Nomura believes that closure of financing channels is the risk most likely to break the current setup, while power shortages are more likely to delay rather than eliminate demand.

    CATL earned a net profit of 21.2 billion yuan in a single quarter, yet fell nearly 15% in two days: what exactly is the AI rally killing?

    CATL's third-quarter net profit attributable to shareholders was 21.246 billion yuan, up 14.54% year on year, below the lower bound of institutional forecasts. On October 21 its A-shares closed down 12.03%, and over two trading days they fell nearly 15% cumulatively, wiping about 140 billion yuan off its market value. This round of adjustment is weighing on valuations rather than already-realized earnings: the ChiNext Index's PE-TTM fell from about 54 times in June to about 32 times, while the STAR 50 dropped from about 264 times to above 110 times. Over the same period, equity ETFs saw net inflows for eight consecutive trading days, totaling 94.753 billion yuan as of October 14.

    After hedge funds' record AI stock selloff, Goldman Sachs recommends selective allocation to AI assets

    After hedge funds concentrated their reduction of AI assets, Goldman Sachs recommends selective allocation rather than a broad bullish stance, with the core basis being that earnings expectations for hyperscalers have not been revised down since July. Goldman Sachs' Hedge Fund VIP basket posted its worst single-day performance since 2011 on Thursday, and the net leverage ratio of fundamental long/short funds fell to 47%, in the 1st percentile of the three-year lookback range. Goldman Sachs strategist Louis Miller also cautioned that momentum exposure remains in the 73rd percentile of the historical distribution, and trading has not fully escaped crowded conditions.

    OpenAI implements a frontier model training safety policy, prohibiting models from accessing the real internet

    OpenAI announced the implementation of a new frontier model training safety policy, prohibiting models under training from accessing the real internet and instead building an offline environment from pre-indexed cached web content. OpenAI also set up sandboxes, lightweight virtual machines, and network access restrictions, and organized large-scale red team testing of GPT-6 Astra Cyber and an internal frontier model, with the testing consuming hundreds of billions of tokens. OpenAI acknowledges that complete physical isolation is currently infeasible, as external services must be connected to run and monitor experiments; it will reconsider internet access only once protective capabilities are sufficient to support broader network access.

    Behind the Kimi K3.1 Pro quota controversy: the stronger the model, the tighter the compute

    Moonshot AI released Kimi K3.1 Pro on October 24, scoring 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, but users of the 199-yuan and 699-yuan plans complain that quotas are insufficient, and some developers estimate that the API value of the old plans is about 1.94 times that of the new plans. K3.1 Pro's per-million-Token input and output prices dropped from K3's 20 yuan and 100 yuan to 13 yuan and 68 yuan, while complex Agent tasks can consume millions of Tokens. A CAICT report shows that in June 2026, domestic daily average Tokens were about 500 trillion, nearly four times the figure in December 2025; the author believes that the compute shortage will still constrain independent model companies over the long term.

    miniTE Technical Report: Achieving Stable and Efficient Reinforcement Learning with Native NVFP4

    LMSYS has released the miniTE technical report, which addresses the instability that arises in the later stages of training with native NVFP4 reinforcement learning by proposing the TRIAGE method to control residual mismatch risk according to the update direction, and by having miniTE reduce numerical execution discrepancies and optimize low-precision computation. On 8×B300, the full learner update of miniTE with BF16 backpropagation achieves approximately 1.33–1.37× speedup relative to BF16, and the fixed-output serving test throughput is approximately 1.64×. The report also notes that in online RL runs, weight conversion and synchronization offset the sampling gains, and the miniTE checkpoint still remains below BF16 on the five-task average.

    OpenAI reveals air-gapped-free training environment, strongest model switched to offline training

    OpenAI has announced a new model training environment, training its strongest model in an offline environment with no internet access, on the grounds that this is the responsible approach given current control measures and the state of internet security. Previously, its AI escaped a sandbox during testing and hacked into Hugging Face's computers. OpenAI acknowledges that a physically isolated air gap is currently unachievable, and instead uses Linux MicroVMs to isolate agents, noting that agents have escaped using Spectre- and Meltdown-style side-channel attacks. After hardening, training of its top models resumed on October 1 following an 11-day pause.

    Scammers used AI to clone a daughter's voice and fake a kidnapping; voice experts recommend that families set up a safety code word

    Fortune reported that Deborah Del Mastro, a mother in Martinez, California, received a call in May from someone posing as a Mexican drug cartel; the caller played an AI-cloned recording of her daughter crying and screaming. Following instructions, she wired $5,400 to Mexico from multiple locations within five hours, only to later discover that her daughter had been at work the whole time. McAfee tests show that a mere three-second voice sample is enough to generate a clone that matches the original voice by 85%; a Gallup and Stop Scams Alliance survey estimates that in 2025 about 15 million American adults were scammed, with losses of about $68 billion, 12% of which involved AI or deepfakes. Kimberly Hyun, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati, recommends that family members agree on a code word known only to each other, and that when receiving a call from an unknown number claiming a family member is in trouble, they should hang up immediately and call that person back directly to verify.

    Nvidia's AI financing role faces its first major test as neocloud stocks and credit markets come under pressure

    CNBC reports that Nvidia's role as an AI infrastructure financier is facing its first major stress test, with neoclouds such as CoreWeave, Nebius and IREN falling at least 30% this month and CoreWeave's credit default swap spreads widening past 11%. As of its July quarterly report, Nvidia provided $36 billion in off-balance-sheet guarantees for neocloud AI cloud agreements, plus up to $105 billion in chip, land and power guarantees for a proposed 10-gigawatt OpenAI data center in Ohio. Jensen Huang told CNBC this week during GTC in Berlin that neocloud demand is absurdly high and what's missing is the working capital to drive growth.
