Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has stepped down, leaving the AI chipmaker in turmoil. US lawmakers now want to question him about whether one of his alleged relationships was with a Chinese spy. The report is based on the BBC's coverage, and the allegations have not been independently confirmed in the source.
In an amended IPO filing on November 10, Anthropic said it has determined it met the "research acceleration threshold" in its Responsible Scaling Policy, the point where AI assistance is expected to roughly double the pace of capability gains. The company said the judgment rests on expectations about future models and overall progress rather than demonstrated capabilities of current systems, and that it will publish further reports. Independent evaluator METR estimated Anthropic's progress on defined capability tests has run about 1.9x its earlier pace since October 2025, while cautioning that its estimates are highly uncertain.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is leaving the top job after leading the company for 33 years, according to Adweek.

Coverage from The Seattle Times and Gizmodo reports that Nvidia has a new chief executive succeeding co-founder Jensen Huang, who built the company that supplies most of the AI industry's chips.

The source headlines provide no further detail on the transition terms or the new CEO's strategy.
According to TechCrunch, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation has prompted questions about the company's support for open-source AI. The report points to Nvidia's Hugging Face acquisition, its open-weight models, and its public opposition to AI restrictions as the areas under scrutiny during the leadership transition. The source's coverage is brief, so the details of the resignation and the acquisition should be checked against further reporting.
