AI giant Anthropic is planning to go public by Thanksgiving, targeting a huge valuation. Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing an independent board investigation over personal conduct and security concerns. In other news, many ChatGPT Pro users woke up to sudden, unexplained account bans, while tech leaders and companies continue to roll out new hardware and robot plans.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang publicly admitted to an extramarital affair, sparking a major corporate and political storm. Reports linked him to Alice Huang, a mysterious former finance investor who led Megaspeed, an Asian cloud partner that purchased $4.8 billion in advanced AI chips. While Nvidia investigates potential conflicts of interest, the scandal has drawn intense scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers and President Trump, highlighting the deep ties between big tech, supply chains, and national security.
Large AI models use a "Mixture-of-Experts" design to save power, but most experts sit idle while taking up massive memory. Traditional pruning methods cut the weakest individual experts, which often breaks cooperative groups. A new technique called HOPE accounts for how experts work together, allowing researchers to trim up to 50% of a model's experts while maintaining high performance, especially in complex coding tasks.
According to Anthropic Research: Claude can now design and prototype electronic hardware from start to finish, handling everything from circuit board layouts to 3D-printed enclosures and firmware. In tests with a manufacturing partner, the AI successfully engineered working prototypes like a speakerphone and a voice assistant with minimal human guidance.
