Leopold Aschenbrenner’s AI-focused fund may be facing major losses, along with rumors of position changes tied to its AI exposure.

We also discuss Safe Superintelligence’s partnership with NVIDIA, and an open letter from AI researchers urging the U.S. government to slow AI development.

We explore Anthropic’s views on open source AI and chip export restrictions, plus market updates from Microsoft, Samsung, Intel, and Apple.
