Jensen Huang's ouster likely traces back to Nvidia's risky business practices more than his personal life
Jensen Huang likely left Nvidia more because of risky business practices than anything else, a Wall Street Journal report suggests. At the very least, those practices made him enemies internally. The company offered cloud providers billions in financial guarantees for chip purchases, including a planned $250 billion deal with OpenAI. Interim CEO and then-CFO Colette Kress tried to contain the risk, and Huang reportedly didn't like that.

Nvidia’s leadership crisis puts enterprise AI’s dependence on one company under scrutiny
The tech world has been rattled by the toppling of one of its most prominent leaders, and the widespread implications it could have on the AI industry itself. Nvidia, which provides the underlying AI infrastructure for seemingly every company on the planet, announced on Thursday that its president and CEO Jensen Huang has resigned, effective immediately. Earlier this week, news broke that Huang had had at least two extramarital affairs, including one with an alleged Chinese spy and one with a direct report. EVP and CFO Colette Kress has stepped in as interim CEO , and Nvidia’s board has begun searching for a permanent replacement. Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the standard for graphics rendering, and in recent years companies building AI have also depended on them for training and running large language models (LLMs) and increasingly sophisticated AI agents. As such, the revelations about Huang, and his swift departure, have sparked a US national security crisis, and raised questions about over-reliance on one tech vendor and subsequent supply chain and compute constraints. A scandal involving an admitted extramarital affair with an alleged Chinese spy opens up a hornet’s nest of concerns around security that Nvidia won’t be in a position to answer for months, if ever, said technology analyst Carmi Levy . “More broadly, it throws into doubt the company’s leadership and security practices, and ignites questions around board-level governance and oversig…

Jensen Huang Resigns After Having Another Affair In Addition to the Chinese Spy
Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia and left its board. CFO Colette Kress will be interim CEO . Here is a quick profile of Kress . Here is a look at some of the potential long term successors . There were a lot of efforts to bury the fact that Jensen Huang had an affair with a Chinese spy, and then even to bury his second affair as well, and to get everyone to ignore the obvious implications of this. Then the second affair was revealed with executive Kimberly Powell, who directly reports to him. Even then, many doubled down on defending Jensen Huang as CEO of Nvidia. The Nvidia board disagreed, and was preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang prior to his resignation. This creates a tricky situation for Nvidia, given that Jensen Huang had over 50 direct reports and did not believe in succession planning, and also for the White House . It also creates a tricky situation for many in Silicon Valley, who have invested heavily in their relationships with Jensen Huang and in the idea that founders are as Gods.

Looping a transformer increases no-CoT capabilities more than general capabilities
Some researchers worry that looping (as in looped transformers ) is a particularly scary way to make AI models more capable, because looped models will be harder to monitor than standard transformers of similar capability. We test this worry on NVIDIA’s Dory 4B, a publicly available looped transformer, and find evidence that it is justified. Result 1. Looping boosts no-CoT reasoning much more than it boosts general capabilities . Dory can run with a configurable number of loops. It was trained to use up to 4 loops, and adding loops up to 8 at inference time still improves performance. Without looping, Dory’s no-CoT capabilities (measured by NCRI, the No-CoT Reasoning Index) match what a trend fitted to open-source models predicts from how well it predicts text (measured in bits-per-byte). Its general with-CoT reasoning capability (measured by “mini-ECI”, a custom, smaller version of Epoch’s Capabilities Index) is high relative to its NCRI, so Dory sits below the NCRI-vs-mini-ECI trend, but it is similar to the best models of its size. Adding loops improves mini-ECI and bits per byte only slightly but increases NCRI substantially. In fact, if we plot NCRI against total parameters, counting looped parameters once per loop, NCRI rises faster than the trend up to 6 loops. This is concerning, since it suggests adding loops increases no-CoT capabilities much more than general capabilities, resulting in models that will be more difficult to monitor. Result 2. Dory has near-zero CoT…

Jensen Huang was a busted flush at Nvidia – he had to go | Nils Pratley

Billions lost and markets roiled by one man’s indiscretion. Isn’t it now clear that these tech bros are too powerful? | Aditya Chakrabortty
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair must be the costliest fling in human history – and a preview of what awaits when the tech bubble bursts One thing we all know about the tech billionaires is they are super-smart. We know this largely because they never stop telling us. The “ cognitive elite ”, to use their favoured phrase, are entitled to shape our future without our say-so. When Elon Musk goes hiring, he wants “super-high-IQ small-government revolutionaries”. Long before they got private jets, what fuelled these boys was faith in their own brainpower. As a teenager, Jensen Huang wooed his future wife, Lori, thus: “If you do homework with me every Sunday, I promise you you’ll get straight As.” Lord Byron: I believe it’s your move.

Thursday briefing: What we do (and don’t) know about Alice Huang and the Nvidia affair
In today’s newsletter: US intelligence reportedly believes the former tech executive was recruited by Beijing, raising questions about the security of the AI industry and Trump’s close ties to Nvidia chief Jensen Huang Good morning. Espionage is supposed to be a secretive business, and spies are supposed to be virtually invisible. That hasn’t been the case for Alice Huang, the mysterious Shanghai executive who formed a romantic relationship with Jensen Huang, the founder of Nvidia, one of America’s most powerful tech companies. Many questions have arisen since it emerged that US intelligence believes that Huang (no relation of Jensen’s) is an asset recruited by the Chinese intelligence services to spy on behalf of Beijing. This morning’s newsletter explains what we know about the story, and what it tells us about the effectiveness of Chinese espionage. That’s after the headlines.

Anthropic's IPO roadshow video
Anthropic's IPO roadshow video Anthropic kicked off their IPO roadshow yesterday, and their roadshow video has some previously unreleased information about how their business works. The section on "Approach to compute" with co-founder Tom Brown is particularly interesting, describing how Anthropic train and serve Claude across AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, and AMD GPUs. I'm not sure why there's no official video transcript, but here's one that I extracted using MacWhisper. Highlights below: We train and serve Claude now across all four major chip families. That's only possible because early on we made an unconventional bet on a multi-chip strategy. At the time, many people thought that running AI models on different chips wasn't worth the effort. Each chip needs its own tailored software stack and inference stack, which is expensive and difficult to build. We've now been doing it for years, and we've gotten incredibly good at it. [...] As an example, this year, we started working with AMD GPUs for the first time. In the past, bringing on a new chip platform took dozens of engineers months of work This time, we had Mythos try it out. It got Claude running on AMD in just three days, with basically no human intervention . Claude ported or wrote almost 100% of the kernels. [...] The second driver of our compute advantage is our rate of discovery of compute multipliers. We focus on total effective compute, which is the multiplicative product of physical capacity times t…

Espionage, AI, and the Risks of Strategic Overreaction
Allegations involving Nvidia’s chief executive have renewed scrutiny of Chinese intelligence collection and U.S. controls on advanced AI chips. Meanwhile, local resistance to data centers—a sentiment that’s been linked to PRC influence campaigns—raises a different challenge to the infrastructure supporting American AI leadership. Although these episodes are not evidence of a coordinated Chinese campaign, together they illustrate how external security threats and domestic policy choices can shape the U.S.–China AI competition—and why responses must be grounded in evidence. The post Espionage, AI, and the Risks of Strategic Overreaction appeared first on Center for Security and Emerging Technology .

Rewriting less than 10 neurons in an LLM can turn it into a sleeper backdoor
Microsoft researchers have found that rewriting fewer than 10 rarely used neurons in an open-weight AI model can turn any agent built on it into a sleeper backdoor that runs an attacker’s commands on cue, with no retraining required. Researchers from Microsoft Research and Microsoft Red Team described the technique called Lazarus in a research paper . It modifies dormant neurons in a model’s final feed-forward layer to recognize a trigger and inject attacker-controlled commands into the model’s output. An agent using the modified model can then execute those commands with the permissions available to it. “The trigger can be as mundane as a date change, e.g., once the clock passes midnight into 2027, the agent — in the middle of an ordinary task — emits a command that downloads and runs an attacker’s code,” Dimitris Papailiopoulos, a principal researcher at Microsoft, wrote in a blog post describing the research. “The agent then executes it with whatever access you gave it.” Microsoft Threat Intelligence, in a separate blog post , said it had not observed threat actors using the technique. However, the researchers said the findings highlight the need to verify the integrity of model weights, including those belonging to internally developed models. Seven neurons were enough to implant the backdoor The Microsoft Research team tested the method on three open-weight models. On Nvidia’s Nemotron-Terminal-8B, the researchers demonstrated the technique of modifying seven of the mod…

The Manifund team scores AI safety milestones
Scott Alexander posted a survey of utility weights for a bunch of different AI safety accomplishments, discussed more in Towards the Autograntor . The survey asked people to assign point values to AI safety milestones. The values were based on the anchor of 1 million points = a pause with China à la AI Futures Project’s Plan A, so a milestone assigned 10,000 points is 1% as good as that. Here’s a link to our survey responses. To be clear, we (especially Austin) didn’t spend that much time on this and have low confidence in our answers! But we think being transparent about even half-baked opinions is good. Headline numbers As examples, here are a few milestones where the two of us (and the autograntor reflecting Scott’s worldview) gave relatively similar values: Milestone Austin Caroline Scott Founding of effective altruism 100,000 75,000 100,000 Small-grant ecosystem (Long-Term Future Fund, SFF and similar) 20,000 20,000 30,000 Lighthaven 10,000 5,000 9,000 OpenAI or Anthropic becomes 1 point more alignment-pilled (on a scale where 0 = NVIDIA, 100 = Anthropic) 2,000 500 3,000 Austin’s and Caroline’s average ratings for alignment research and community-building milestones were similarish to each other’s, with Caroline rating policy outcomes more highly and Austin rating social shifts more highly.
