America's edge in artificial intelligence may rest on one decision now facing Washington: whether to keep our most advanced chips out of Beijing's hands. President Trump has moved to lift the export ban on Nvidia's H20 processors—a move some warn could supercharge China's AI ambitions and military power—arming the Chinese Communist Party for dominance in the AI age. Cliff May and Matt Pottinger pull back the curtain on the high-stakes race, the players vying for advantage, and what's really at risk if America loses its lead.

America's edge in artificial intelligence may rest on one decision now facing Washington: whether to keep our most advanced chips out of Beijing's hands. President Trump has moved to lift the export ban on Nvidia's H20 processors—a move some warn could supercharge China's AI ambitions and military power—arming the Chinese Communist Party for dominance in the AI age. Cliff May and Matt Pottinger pull back the curtain on the high-stakes race, the players vying for advantage, and what's really at risk if America loses its lead.

We're diving into a major development at the intersection of tech, trade, and national security: the U.S. government's decision to allow NVIDIA's H20 chips back into the Chinese market. Brad Carson (former defense official and member of Congress) of Americans for Responsible Innovation and Liza Tobin (former CIA and National Security Council staffer) of Garnaut Global join Ryan to explore what this reversal says about America's approach to protecting its tech edge, whether NVIDIA's justifications hold water, why normal Americans should care about this, and what it could mean for the future of AI and semiconductor strategy.  This episode also features a short clip from our new, free show, Cogs of War. You can listen to this exciting new show on defense tech and industrial issues on your podcast app of choice.

We're sharing an episode from ChinaTalk that dives into one of the biggest recent reversals in U.S. tech policy.The U.S. banned Nvidia's H20 AI chips to China in April. Now, just months later, they're being sold—with a 15% export fee. What happened? Why the reversal? And what does it mean for the future of AI competition between the U.S. and China?Chris Miller—author of Chip War—and Lennart Heim from RAND join ChinaTalk host Jordan Schneider to unpack the policy flip-flop, why China is publicly downplaying interest in the H20, and why high-bandwidth memory and semiconductor manufacturing tools may be even more important than the Nvidia chips themselves.Resources:Listen to more from ChinaTalk: https://link.chtbl.com/chinatalkCheck out the Horizon Fellowship to work in DC on emerging tech policy issues like AI chip export controls: https://horizonpublicservice.org/applications-open-for-2026-horizon-fellowship-cohort/Outro Music: It's a Shame, The Spinners, 1970

Energy costs provided relief, with gasoline prices dropping 2.2 percent and overall energy declining 1.1 percent. For families struggling with Biden's inflation legacy, cheaper gas is real relief.   Core inflation accelerated to 0.3 percent monthly—the first time in six months it failed to undershoot economist estimates. Services inflation drove much of the increase, with medical care services up 0.6 percent and shelter costs contributing 4.8 percent annually.   Services led the core inflation increase, with several categories showing significant monthly gains: Medical care services: +0.6% monthly Personal care services: +0.5% monthly Recreation services: +0.4% monthly Shelter costs: +0.3% monthly, contributing 4.8% annually Categories exposed to tariffs showed notable price increases: Computers and electronics: Rose 1.4 percent for the third consecutive month Sporting goods: +1.4% monthly Household furnishings: +0.8% monthly Apparel: +0.4% monthly Source: redstate.com   Trump Extends China Tariff Deadline by 90 Days  The Stockholm Negotiations The extension follows three rounds of high-level trade talks since May, with the most recent negotiations taking place in Stockholm, Sweden in late July. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and other Chinese officials for what both sides described as "constructive" discussions. However, the talks ended without a formal agreement. Chinese negotiators suggested a consensus had been reached for an extension, but U.S. officials made clear that nothing would be final without Trump's explicit approval. "Nothing is agreed until we speak with President Trump," Bessent told reporters after the Stockholm meetings. The extension provides time to address several thorny issues beyond basic tariff levels: Fentanyl-Related Tariffs: The U.S.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,Nuclear fission is a safe, powerful, and reliable means of generating nearly limitless clean energy to power the modern world. A few public safety scares and a lot of bad press over the half-century has greatly delayed our nuclear future. But with climate change and energy-hungry AI making daily headlines, the time — finally — for a nuclear renaissance seems to have arrived.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I talk with Dr. Tim Gregory about the safety and efficacy of modern nuclear power, as well as the ambitious energy goals we should set for our society.Gregory is a nuclear scientist at the UK National Nuclear Laboratory. He is also a popular science broadcaster on radio and TV, and an author. His most recent book, Going Nuclear: How Atomic Energy Will Save the World is out now.In This Episode* A false start for a nuclear future (1:29)* Motivators for a revival (7:20)* About nuclear waste . . . (12:41)* Not your mother's reactors (17:25)* Commercial fusion, coming soon . . . ? (23:06)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. A false start for a nuclear future (1:29)The truth is that radiation, we're living in it all the time, it's completely inescapable because we're all living in a sea of background radiation.Pethokoukis: Why do America, Europe, Japan not today get most of their power from nuclear fission, since that would've been a very reasonable prediction to make in 1965 or 1975, but it has not worked out that way? What's your best take on why it hasn't?Going back to the '50s and '60s, it looked like that was the world that we currently live in. It was all to play for, and there were a few reasons why that didn't happen, but the main two were Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. It's a startling statistic that the US built more nuclear reactors in the five years leading up to Three Mile Island than it has built since. And similarly on this side of the Atlantic, Europe built more nuclear reactors in the five years leading up to Chernobyl than it has built since, which is just astounding, especially given that nobody died in Three Mile Island and nobody was even exposed to anything beyond the background radiation as a result of that nuclear accident.Chernobyl, of course, was far more consequential and far more serious than Three Mile Island. 30-odd people died in the immediate aftermath, mostly people who were working at the power station and the first responders, famously the firefighters who were exposed to massive amounts of radiation, and probably a couple of hundred people died in the affected population from thyroid cancer. It was people who were children and adolescents at the time of the accident.So although every death from Chernobyl was a tragedy because it was avoidable, they're not in proportion to the mythic reputation of the night in question. It certainly wasn't reason to effectively end nuclear power expansion in Europe because of course we had to get that power from somewhere, and it mainly came from fossil fuels, which are not just a little bit more deadly than nuclear power, they're orders of magnitude more deadly than nuclear power. When you add up all of the deaths from nuclear power and compare those deaths to the amount of electricity that we harvest from nuclear power, it's actually as safe as wind and solar, whereas fossil fuels kill hundreds or thousands of times more people per unit of power. To answer your question, it's complicated and there are many answers, but the main two were Three Mile Island and Chernobyl.I wonder how things might have unfolded if those events hadn't happened or if society had responded proportionally to the actual damage. Three Mile Island and Chernobyl are portrayed in documentaries and on TV as far deadlier than they really were, and they still loom large in the public imagination in a really unhelpful way.You see it online, actually, quite a lot about the predicted death toll from Chernobyl, because, of course, there's no way of saying exactly which cases of cancer were caused by Chernobyl and which ones would've happened anyway. Sometimes you see estimates that are up in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of deaths from Chernobyl. They are always based on a flawed scientific hypothesis called the linear no-threshold model that I go into in quite some detail in chapter eight of my book, which is all about the human health effects of exposure to radiation. This model is very contested in the literature. It's one of the most controversial areas of medical science, actually, the effects of radiation on the human body, and all of these massive numbers you see of the death toll from Chernobyl, they're all based on this really kind of clunky, flawed, contentious hypothesis. My reading of the literature is that there's very, very little physical evidence to support this particular hypothesis, but people take it and run. I don't know if it would be too far to accuse people of pushing a certain idea of Chernobyl, but it almost certainly vastly, vastly overestimates the effects.I think a large part of the reason of why this had such a massive impact on the public and politicians is this lingering sense of radiophobia that completely blight society. We've all seen it in the movies, in TV shows, even in music and computer games — radiation is constantly used as a tool to invoke fear and mistrust. It's this invisible, centerless, silent specter that's kind of there in the background: It means birth defects, it means cancers, it means ill health. We've all kind of grown up in this culture where the motif of radiation is bad news, it's dangerous, and that inevitably gets tied to people's sense of nuclear power. So when you get something like Three Mile Island, society's imagination and its preconceptions of radiation, it's just like a dry haystack waiting for a flint spark to land on it, and up it goes in flames and people's imaginations run away with them.The truth is that radiation, we're living in it all the time, it's completely inescapable because we're all living in a sea of background radiation. There's this amazing statistic that if you live within a couple of miles of a nuclear power station, the extra amount of radiation you're exposed to annually is about the same as eating a banana. Bananas are slightly radioactive because of the slight amount of potassium-40 that they naturally contain. Even in the wake of these nuclear accidents like Chernobyl, and more recently Fukushima, the amount of radiation that the public was exposed to barely registers and, in fact, is less than the background radiation in lots of places on the earth.Motivators for a revival (7:20)We have no idea what emerging technologies are on the horizon that will also require massive amounts of power, and that's exactly where nuclear can shine.You just suddenly reminded me of a story of when I was in college in the late 1980s, taking a class on the nuclear fuel cycle. You know it was an easy class because there was an ampersand in it. “Nuclear fuel cycle” would've been difficult. “Nuclear fuel cycle & the environment,” you knew it was not a difficult class.The man who taught it was a nuclear scientist and, at one point, he said that he would have no problem having a nuclear reactor in his backyard. This was post-Three Mile Island, post-Chernobyl, and the reaction among the students — they were just astounded that he would be willing to have this unbelievably dangerous facility in his backyard.We have this fear of nuclear power, and there's sort of an economic component, but now we're seeing what appears to be a nuclear renaissance. I don't think it's driven by fear of climate change, I think it's driven A) by fear that if you are afraid of climate change, just solar and wind aren't going to get you to where you want to be; and then B) we seem like we're going to need a lot of clean energy for all these AI data centers. So it really does seem to be a perfect storm after a half-century.And who knows what next. When I started writing Going Nuclear, the AI story hadn't broken yet, and so all of the electricity projections for our future demand, which, they range from doubling to tripling, we're going to need a lot of carbon-free electricity if we've got any hope of electrifying society whilst getting rid of fossil fuels. All of those estimates were underestimates because nobody saw AI coming.It's been very, very interesting just in the last six, 12 months seeing Big Tech in North America moving first on this. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta have all either invested or actually placed orders for small modular reactors specifically to power their AI data centers. In some ways, they've kind of led the charge on this. They've moved faster than most nation states, although it is encouraging, actually, here in the UK, just a couple of weeks ago, the government announced that our new nuclear power station is definitely going ahead down in Sizewell in Suffolk in the south of England. That's a 3.2 gigawatt nuclear reactor, it's absolutely massive. But it's been really, really encouraging to see Big Tech in the private sector in North America take the situation into their own hands. If anyone's real about electricity demands and how reliable you need it, it's Big Tech with these data centers.I always think, go back five, 10 years, talk of AI was only on the niche subreddits and techie podcasts where people were talking about it. It broke into the mainstream all of a sudden. Who knows what is going to happen in the next five or 10 years. We have no idea what emerging technologies are on the horizon that will also require massive amounts of power, and that's exactly where nuclear can shine.In the US, at least, I don't think decarbonization alone is enough to win broad support for nuclear, since a big chunk of the country doesn't think we actually need to do that. But I think that pairing it with the promise of rapid AI-driven economic growth creates a stronger case.I tried to appeal to a really broad church in Going Nuclear because I really, really do believe that whether you are completely preoccupied by climate change and environmental issues or you're completely preoccupied by economic growth, and raising living, standards and all of that kind of thing, all the monetary side of things, nuclear is for you because if you solve the energy problem, you solve both problems at once. You solve the economic problem and the environmental problem.There's this really interesting relationship between GDP per head — which is obviously incredibly important in economic terms — and energy consumption per head, and it's basically a straight line relationship between the two. There are no rich countries that aren't also massive consumers of energy, so if you really, really care about the economy, you should really also be caring about energy consumption and providing energy abundance so people can go out and use that energy to create wealth and prosperity. Again, that's where nuclear comes in. You can use nuclear power to sate that massive energy demand that growing economies require.This podcast is very pro-wealth and prosperity, but I'll also say, if the nuclear dreams of the '60s where you had, in this country, what was the former Atomic Energy Commission expecting there to be 1000 nuclear reactors in this country by the year 2000, we're not having this conversation about climate change. It is amazing that what some people view as an existential crisis could have been prevented — by the United States and other western countries, at least — just making a different political decision.We would be spending all of our time talking about something else, and how nice would that be?For sure. I'm sure there'd be other existential crises to worry about.But for sure, we wouldn't be talking about climate change was anywhere near the volume or the sense of urgency as we are now if we would've carried on with the nuclear expansion that really took off in the '70s and the '80s. It would be something that would be coming our way in a couple of centuries.About nuclear waste . . . (12:41). . . a 100 percent nuclear-powered life for about 80 years, their nuclear waste would barely fill a wine glass or a coffee cup. I don't know if you've ever seen the television show For All Mankind?I haven't. So many people have recommended it to me.It's great. It's an alt-history that looks at what if the Space Race had never stopped. As a result, we had a much more tech-enthusiastic society, which included being much more pro-nuclear.Anyway, imagine if you are on a plane talking to the person next to you, and the topic of your book comes up, and the person says hey, I like energy, wealth, prosperity, but what are you going to do about the nuclear waste?That almost exact situation has happened, but on a train rather than an airplane. One of the cool things about uranium is just how much energy you can get from a very small amount of it. If typical person in a highly developed economy, say North America, Europe, something like that, if they produced all of their power over their entire lifetime from nuclear alone, so forget fossil fuels, forget wind and solar, a 100 percent nuclear-powered life for about 80 years, their nuclear waste would barely fill a wine glass or a coffee cup. You need a very small amount of uranium to power somebody's life, and the natural conclusion of that is you get a very small amount of waste for a lifetime of power. So in terms of the numbers, and the amount of nuclear waste, it's just not that much of a problem.However, I don't want to just try and trivialize it out of existence with some cool pithy statistics and some cool back-of-the-envelopes physics calculations because we still have to do something with the nuclear waste. This stuff is going to be radioactive for the best part of a million years. Thankfully, it's quite an easy argument to make because good old Finland, which is one of the most nuclear nations on the planet as a share of nuclear in its grid, has solved this problem. It has implemented — and it's actually working now — the world's first and currently only geological repository for nuclear waste. Their idea is essentially to bury it in impermeable bedrock and leave it there because, as with all radioactive objects, nuclear waste becomes less radioactive over time. The idea is that, in a million years, Finland's nuclear waste won't be nuclear waste anymore, it will just be waste. A million years sounds like a really long time to our ears, but it's actually —It does.It sounds like a long time, but it is the blink of an eye, geologically. So to a geologist, a million years just comes and goes straight away. So it's really not that difficult to keep nuclear waste safe underground on those sorts of timescales. However — and this is the really cool thing, and this is one of the arguments that I make in my book — there are actually technologies that we can use to recycle nuclear waste. It turns out that when you pull uranium out of a reactor, once it's been burned for a couple of years in a reactor, 95 percent of the atoms are still usable. You can still use them to generate nuclear power. So by throwing away nuclear waste when it's been through a nuclear reactor once, we're actually squandering like 95 percent of material that we're throwing away.The theory is this sort of the technology behind breeder reactors?That's exactly right, yes.What about the plutonium? People are worried about the plutonium!People are worried about the plutonium, but in a breeder reactor, you get rid of the plutonium because you split it into fission products, and fission products are still radioactive, but they have much shorter half-lives than plutonium. So rather than being radioactive for, say, a million years, they're only radioactive, really, for a couple of centuries, maybe 1000 years, which is a very, very different situation when you think about long-term storage.I read so many papers and memos from the '50s when these reactors were first being built and demonstrated, and they worked, by the way, they're actually quite easy to build, it just happened in a couple of years. Breeder reactors were really seen as the future of humanity's power demands. Forget traditional nuclear power stations that we all use at the moment, which are just kind of once through and then you throw away 95 percent of the energy at the end of it. These breeder reactors were really, really seen as the future.They never came to fruition because we discovered lots of uranium around the globe, and so the supply of uranium went up around the time that the nuclear power expansion around the world kind of seized up, so the uranium demand dropped as the supply increased, so the demand for these breeder reactors kind of petered out and fizzled out. But if we're really, really serious about the medium-term future of humanity when it comes to energy, abundance, and prosperity, we need to be taking a second look at these breeder reactors because there's enough uranium and thorium in the ground around the world now to power the world for almost 1000 years. After that, we'll have something else. Maybe we'll have nuclear fusion.Well, I hope it doesn't take a thousand years for nuclear fusion.Yes, me too.Not your mother's reactors (17:25)In 2005, France got 80 percent of its electricity from nuclear. They almost decarbonized their grid by accident before anybody cared about climate change, and that was during a time when their economy was absolutely booming.I don't think most people are aware of how much innovation has taken place around nuclear in the past few years, or even few decades. It's not just a climate change issue or that we need to power these data centers — the technology has vastly improved. There are newer, safer technologies, so we're not talking about 1975-style reactors.Even if it were the 1975-style reactors, that would be fine because they're pretty good and they have an absolutely impeccable safety record punctuated by a very small number of high-profile events such as Chernobyl and Fukushima. I'm not to count Three Mile Island on that list because nobody died, but you know what I mean.But the modern nuclear reactors are amazing. The ones that are coming out of France, the EPRs, the European Power Reactors, there are going to be two of those in the UK's new nuclear power station, and they've been designed to withstand an airplane flying into the side of them, so they're basically bomb-proof.As for these small modular reactors, that's getting people very excited, too. As their name suggests, they're small. How small is a reasonable question — the answer is as small as you want to go. These things are scalable, and I've seen designs for just one-megawatt reactors that could easily fit inside a shipping container. They could fit in the parking lots around the side of a data center, or in the basement even, all the way up to multi-hundred-megawatt reactors that could fit on a couple of tennis courts worth of land. But it's really the modular part that's the most interesting thing. That's the ‘M' and that's never been done before.Which really gets to the economics of the SMRs.It really does. The idea is you could build upwards of 90 percent of these reactors on a factory line. We know from the history of industrialization that as soon as you start mass producing things, the unit cost just plummets and the timescales shrink. No one has achieved that yet, though. There's a lot of hype around small modular reactors, and so it's kind of important not to get complacent and really keep our eye on the ultimate goal, which is mass-production and mass rapid deployment of nuclear power stations, crucially in the places where you need them the most, as well.We often think about just decarbonizing our electricity supply or decoupling our electricity supply from volatilities in the fossil fuel market, but it's about more than electricity, as well. We need heat for things like making steel, making the ammonia that feeds most people on the planet, food and drinks factories, car manufacturers, plants that rely on steam. You need heat, and thankfully, the primary energy from a nuclear reactor is heat. The electricity is secondary. We have to put effort into making that. The heat just kind of happens. So there's this idea that we could use the surplus heat from nuclear reactors to power industrial processes that are very, very difficult to decarbonize. Small modular reactors would be perfect for that because you could nestle them into the industrial centers that need the heat close by. So honestly, it is really our imaginations that are the limits with these small modular reactors.They've opened a couple of nuclear reactors down in Georgia here. The second one was a lot cheaper and faster to build because they had already learned a bunch of lessons building that first one, and it really gets at sort of that repeatability where every single reactor doesn't have to be this one-off bespoke project. That is not how it works in the world of business. How you get cheaper things is by building things over and over, you get very good at building them, and then you're able to turn these things out at scale. That has not been the economic situation with nuclear reactors, but hopefully with small modular reactors, or even if we just start building a lot of big advanced reactors, we'll get those economies of scale and hopefully the economic issue will then take care of itself.For sure, and it is exactly the same here in the UK. The last reactor that we connected to the grid was in 1995. I was 18 months old. I don't even know if I was fluent in speaking at 18 months old. I was really, really young. Our newest nuclear power station, Hinkley Point C, which is going to come online in the next couple of years, was hideously expensive. The uncharitable view of that is that it's just a complete farce and is just a complete embarrassment, but honestly, you've got to think about it: 1995, the last nuclear reactor in the UK, it was going to take a long time, it was going to be expensive, basically doing it from scratch. We had no supply chain. We didn't really have a workforce that had ever built a nuclear reactor before, and with this new reactor that just got announced a couple of weeks ago, the projected price is 20 percent cheaper, and it is still too expensive, it's still more expensive than it should be, but you're exactly right.By tapping into those economies of scale, the cost per nuclear reactor will fall, and France did this in the '70s and '80s. Their nuclear program is so amazing. France is still the most nuclear nation on the planet as a share of its total electricity. In 2005, France got 80 percent of its electricity from nuclear. They almost decarbonized their grid by accident before anybody cared about climate change, and that was during a time when their economy was absolutely booming. By the way, still today, all of those reactors are still working and they pay less than the European Union average for that electricity, so this idea that nuclear makes your electricity expensive is simply not true. They built 55 nuclear reactors in 25 years, and they did them in parallel. It was just absolutely amazing. I would love to see a French-style nuclear rollout in all developed countries across the world. I think that would just be absolutely amazing.Commercial fusion, coming soon . . . ? (23:06)I think we're pretty good at doing things when we put our minds to it, but certainly not in the next couple of decades. But luckily, we already have a proven way of producing lots of energy, and that's with nuclear fission, in the meantime.What is your enthusiasm level or expectation about nuclear fusion? I can tell you that the Silicon Valley people I talk to are very positive. I know they're inherently very positive people, but they're very enthusiastic about the prospects over the next decade, if not sooner, of commercial fusion. How about you?It would be incredible. The last question that I was asked in my PhD interview 10 years ago was, “If you could solve one scientific or engineering problem, what would it be?” and my answer was nuclear fusion. And that would be the answer that I would give today. It just seems to me to be obviously the solution to the long-term energy needs of humanity. However, I'm less optimistic, perhaps, than the Silicon Valley crowd. The running joke, of course, is that it's always 40 years away and it recedes into the future at one year per year. So I would love to be proved wrong, but realistically — no one's even got it working in a prototype power station. That's before we even think about commercializing it and deploying it at scale. I really, really think that we're decades away, maybe even something like a century. I'd be surprised if it took longer than a century, actually. I think we're pretty good at doing things when we put our minds to it, but certainly not in the next couple of decades. But luckily, we already have a proven way of producing lots of energy, and that's with nuclear fission, in the meantime.Don't go to California with that attitude. I can tell you that even when I go there and I talk about AI, if I say that AI will do anything less than improve economic growth by a factor of 100, they just about throw me out over there. Let me just finish up by asking you this: Earlier, we mentioned Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. How resilient do you think this nuclear renaissance is to an accident?Even if we take the rate of accident over the last 70 years of nuclear power production and we maintain that same level of rate of accident, if you like, it's still one of the safest things that our species does, and everyone talks about the death toll from nuclear power, but nobody talks about the lives that it's already saved because of the fossil fuels, that it's displaced fossil fuels. They're so amazing in some ways, they're so convenient, they're so energy-dense, they've created the modern world as we all enjoy it in the developed world and as the developing world is heading towards it. But there are some really, really nasty consequences of fossil fuels, and whether or not you care about climate change, even the air pollution alone and the toll that that takes on human health is enough to want to phase them out. Nuclear power already is orders of magnitude safer than fossil fuels and I read this really amazing paper that globally, it was something like between the '70s and the '90s, nuclear power saved about two million lives because of the fossil fuels that it displaced. That's, again, orders of magnitude more lives that have been lost as a consequence of nuclear power, mostly because of Chernobyl and Fukushima. Even if the safety record of nuclear in the past stays the same and we forward-project that into the future, it's still a winning horse to bet on.If in the UK they've started up one new nuclear reactor in the past 30 years, right? How many would you guess will be started over the next 15 years?Four or five. Something like that, I think; although I don't know.Is that a significant number to you?It's not enough for my liking. I would like to see many, many more. Look at France. I know I keep going back to it, but it's such a brilliant example. If France hadn't done what they'd done in between the '70s and the '90s — 55 nuclear reactors in 25 years, all of which are still working — it would be a much more difficult case to make because there would be no historical precedent for it. So, maybe predictably, I wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than a French-scale nuclear rollout, let's put it that way.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedMicro Reads▶ Economics* The U.S. Marches Toward State Capitalism With American Characteristics - WSJ* AI Spending Is Propping Up the Economy, Right?

En el episodio de hoy, cubrimos una jornada intensa para los mercados y sectores clave:

On today's podcast: 1) China has urged local companies to avoid using Nvidia Corp.’s H20 processors, particularly for government-related purposes, complicating the chipmaker’s attempts to recoup billions in lost China revenue as well as the Trump administration’s unprecedented push to turn those sales into a US government windfall.2) President Donald Trump extended a pause of higher tariffs on Chinese goods for another 90 days into early November, stabilizing trade ties between the world’s two largest economies.Trump signed an order extending the truce through Nov. 10, deferring a tariff hike set for Tuesday. The de-escalation first took effect when the US and China agreed to reduce tit-for-tat tariff hikes and ease export restrictions on rare earth magnets and certain technologies.3) Donald Trump downplayed expectations for his upcoming meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin as the US president seeks to end the war in Ukraine, casting it as a “feel-out meeting” and saying he would confer with Ukrainian and European leaders after the sitdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keith Lerner of Truist Wealth and Kevin Mann of Hennion & Walsh share their market outlook. Eunice Yoon reports on China's latest crackdown on Nvidia's H20 chips, followed by Dan Niles of Niles Investment Management on the profit impact for Nvidia and AMD.Curtiss-Wright CEO Lynn Bamford joins in her first broadcast interview in her role on global defense spending and the surge in demand for nuclear energy. Plus, Diana Olick on employers tightening return-to-office rules.

President Trump said in a press conference today that Nvidia's H20 chips meant for China were obsolete, but that there was still a market for them. We look at why H20s are still considered the industry standard in China, and how competitors are slow to catch up. 

Beijing is demanding answers from Nvidia just weeks after Washington lifted the export ban on its AI chips. China's cyberspace regulator has summoned the U.S. company, raising concerns that its H20 chips contain backdoors. What exactly is a hardware backdoor? Are China's worries about chip security justified? How difficult is it to prove a chip is truly secure? And if backdoor functions are validated, what could this mean for Nvidia's business in the world's second-largest market? Host Tu Yun joins Prof. Toby Walsh, the Chief Scientist of the AI Institute, University of New South Wales, Australia, Andy Mok, a senior research fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, and Professor Qu Qiang, a fellow of the Belt and Road Research Center, Minzu University of China to take a close look.

In this episode, we cover the renewed debate over U.S. approval of Nvidia's H20 chip exports to China, from political pushback in Washington to reactions in Beijing (00:30). We also examine how the AI industry is responding to the EU AI Code of Practice and the reasons some companies are choosing not to sign (44:53). Read Gregory C. Allen's report on DeepSeek here. Watch or listen to our event with OSTP Director Michael Kratsios here.

Naast kwartaalcijfers publiceerde Apple nog een resultaat. Het bedrijf heeft nu meer dan 3 miljard iPhones verkocht. Ondanks de kritiek op het bedrijf, op hun verdienmodel, en op hun achterstand op het vlak van kunstmatige intelligentie, blijft de telefoon van Apple een hit.

Die H20-chip mag sinds kort weer naar China van de VS, maar nu is er een nieuwe partij die er een stokje voor steekt. Niet Donald Trump, maar China zélf vertrouwt de boel niet. De internettoezichthouder van China denkt dat Amerika straks allemaal Chinese bedrijven in de gaten gaat houden via die chips. Daarvoor haalt het een wetsvoorstel aan van een paar maanden geleden. Een Amerikaanse senator pleitte ervoor om trackers op chips te plaatsen die onder exportrestricties vallen, om zo ten alle tijden te weten waar die chips zich bevinden. Voor Nvidia staat er veel op het spel. Dat bestelde deze week nog 300.000 H20-chips bij TSMC, omdat de exportristricties vanuit de VS werden opgeheven.

Nvidia heeft zeker 300 duizend H20-chips bij TSMC besteld, melden ingewijden aan persbureau Reuters. De bestelling komt nadat de Verenigde Staten de exportrestricties op de chip naar China versoepeld hebben. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Nvidia zou volgens één ingewijde al 600 tot 700 duizend H20-chips op voorraad hebben. De bestelling bij TSMC zou de voorraad dus met de helft vermeerderen. Nvidia-baas Jensen Huang zei eerder deze maand nog dat de productie-aantallen bepaald zouden worden door de hoeveelheid orders uit China. De bestelling bij TSMC lijkt er dus op te wijzen dat het om veel orders gaat. Op dit moment is Nvidia nog in afwachting van een licentie van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Handel om de H20-chip naar China te mogen exporteren. Volgens Nvidia komt die 'binnenkort', maar op het ministerie is niet bepaald sprake van eensgezindheid over het handelsbeleid van president Donald Trump. Handelsminister Howard Lutnick kreeg maandag een brandbrief van een twintigtal beleidsmakers die pleiten om de H20-chip van Nvidia niet naar China te exporteren.

La semana pasada Nvidia anunció la reanudación de las ventas de su tarjeta de inteligencia artificial H20 a China tras obtener la autorización del Gobierno estadounidense. Este chip, diseñado específicamente para el mercado chino porque cumplía con las restricciones de exportación que había impuesto Joe Biden, es fundamental para tareas de inferencia de inteligencia artificial, aunque más barato y menos potente que otros como el H100. La decisión llega después de que el Gobierno de Trump bloqueara las exportaciones del H20 en abril como parte de su ofensiva arancelaria. Pero, tras presiones del CEO de Nvidia, Jensen Huang, se ha levantado la prohibición. Los analistas creen que esto forma parte de una tregua comercial no declarada entre EEUU y China, que incluye permitir la venta de semiconductores avanzados a China a cambio de exportaciones de tierras raras, esenciales para el sector tecnológico. Esta medida tiene implicaciones importantes. Para China, el acceso al H20 fortalece su industria de IA, especialmente en inferencia, que ahora requiere más potencia de cálculo que el entrenamiento de modelos. Para EEUU, permitir estas ventas podría debilitar su capacidad de imponer controles de exportación en el futuro, al demostrar que las medidas de seguridad nacional, antes innegociables, ahora están sujetas a acuerdos comerciales. Esto podría limitar su capacidad de negociación a futuro. El H20, aunque inferior al H100 en entrenamiento, es un 20% más rápido en inferencia, lo que lo hace especialmente valioso para modelos como el O3 de OpenAI o el R1 de DeepSeek. Se estima que las ventas del H20 a China generarán entre 10.000 y 15.000 millones de dólares para Nvidia este año, impulsando al mismo tiempo las capacidades chinas. La decisión de levantar la prohibición responde a la postura de asesores como David Sacks y el secretario de Comercio, Howard Lutnick, quienes son de la opinión de que mantener a China dependiente de la tecnología estadounidense es mejor que mantenerla aparte. Pero esto podría ser una ganancia a corto plazo, ya que China lleva años trabajando para reducir su dependencia de semiconductores extranjeros. Priorizan los desarrollos nacionales siempre que les es posible incluso a costa de un menor rendimiento. La disposición de Trump a negociar temas tecnológicos, como este de la H20 y ciertos programas de diseño de chips, nos habla de que puestos a elegir entre un buen acuerdo comercial y eliminar restricciones se queda con lo primero. Algo que no debería extrañarnos ya que en su primer mandato se mostró favorable a relajar todo tipo de sanciones a cambio de beneficios comerciales. Esto, como es obvio, plantea algunos riesgos. Puede facilitar acuerdos a corto plazo muy rentables, pero también lleva a sacrificar ventajas a más largo. La rápida retirada de restricciones arancelarias tras las amenazas chinas de limitar las exportaciones de tierras raras revela hasta que punto la economía estadounidense es dependiente de ellas. Los controles de exportación han dado a EEUU cierta ventaja en la carrera de la inteligencia artificial, lo que no sabemos es cuánto tiempo podrá mantenerla.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫H20解禁，中美AI闭环竞赛开启，来自王智远同学。H20曾被“封杀”，如今又突然“解封”，为什么突然回来了？它的回归，到底意味着什么？1、H20芯片性能并不弱，在被美国政府封杀之前，它是中国各大AI公司训练大模型的核心动力，你可以把它理解为AI时代的“发动机”。当时美国突然宣布：这东西不能卖给中国了。”这其实是在传递一个信号：我们要在AI领域开始“卡脖子”了。现在，美国又松了一口气，说可以卖了。但不是简单的恢复供货，更像是一个风向标，标志着中美科技博弈进入了一个新阶段。什么阶段？一句话总结：美国把中国逼急眼了。黄仁勋平时总笑眯眯，但他这一年过得并不轻松。数据显示，2024年H20芯片为英伟达带来了120亿到150亿美元的收入，占其中国区营收的85%左右。根据市场数据，2024年字节跳动和腾讯分别采购了23万枚Hopper系列芯片。禁售之后，英伟达第一季度就损失了约 25 亿美元销售额；业绩会上，他们计算过库存、准备金，以及采购承诺方面的成本，算下来，两个季度加在一起，预估会亏损135亿美金。所以，他三度来中国，见了不少人，包括与特朗普的私下会面，目的都很明确：希望美国政府给个台阶下，让H20重回中国市场。再看看另一边，中国也没闲着。华为昇腾、寒武纪等国产芯片厂商趁机加速追赶，过去一年里，国产芯片的生态支持和性能提升都取得了不小进展。有业内人士表示：以前我们是‘非英伟达不可'，现在是有没有英伟达都行。这就像一场赛跑，原本领先的人突然停下来系鞋带，后面的人趁机追上来了。美国以为，不让中国买最先进的芯片就能拖住中国AI的发展，实际上，情况比想象中复杂得多。中国的AI市场并没有因为H20的禁售而停滞，反而倒逼国产替代提速；英伟达损失惨重，不仅影响营收，还可能在未来失去全球最大AI市场的主导权。所以，美国的态度发生了明显转变，不是全放，也不是全封，这种从全面封锁到有限放水的策略，更像是一种新的平衡尝试。很多人以为H20回来，一切就会回到从前。事实是，这一圈下来，中美双方都在调整自己的节奏，因为这颗芯片表面上是硬件产品，实际上却牵动了整个产业链、政策制定和国际关系等多个层面。2、那H20芯片解禁，能否意味着中美关系缓和？科技战降温了？我认为，这是一次战术性妥协。什么意思呢？美国不想彻底放弃中国市场，也不想让英伟达这些企业伤得太重；中国也不急于全面脱钩，边走边看，在保持开放的同时，加快自主研发。这就像两个人打架，中间暂停一下，喝口水，擦擦汗，看看对方接下来要出什么招。因为美国在封禁H20后意识到，如果把中国企业逼得太狠，会逼出一个独立于美国之外的AI生态。一旦中国真的建立起自己的AI技术体系，不仅英伟达会丢掉市场，整个美国的技术话语权都可能被动摇。再加上，中国AI大模型这几年开源动作频繁，已经吸引全球不少开发者和企业的注意，这让美国的部分AI公司感到无奈，他们自己没跑出来，而中国某些方面已经遥遥领先。所以，他们不得不调整策略，稳住更大的局面。中国被美国这一“将军”，反而让中国企业更加清醒地意识到：靠别人终究不如靠自己。现在很多互联网公司都在布局自己的芯片板块：小米有玄戒O1，百度有昆仑系列，阿里有平头哥、含光800、玄铁910等。这些布局表明，大厂们开始尝试在底层技术上“自立门户”。以前一听说H20要来了，各大厂商都想法传达出去：我们首批采购、我们独家合作等信息。但这次，H20并没有引发像之前那样的抢购潮，因为很多企业已经在用国产芯片做训练和推理任务了，他们有了更多选择。所以，这是中美在科技战中的一次阶段性缓冲。美国希望通过“芯片”维持存在感，防止中国彻底转向国产生态；而中国也清楚，这段时间是宝贵的“窗口期”，必须加快自主研发，为未来可能出现的更大冲突做好准备。这更像双方都喘口气，重新站位，准备下一回合。问题是，中国能不能在这一轮“短暂喘息”中，把短期红利变成长期优势？3、我认为，短期红利会让供应链和项目加速。过去几个月，因为禁令，很多公司只能找替代方案，或者拼命囤货，结果成本一下就上去了。比如，多方信息披露，2025 年一季度，腾讯向字节跳动购买了价值约 20 亿元的 GPU 算力资源，主要包含英伟达 H20 卡和服务器。现在不一样了。依赖英伟达的企业迎来了好消息，供应链正在恢复。老黄为了出货，采购成本肯定也会降下来；很多AI项目，尤其是需要高性能计算的大模型训练和推理任务，之前都拖着没法推进，现在可以加速落地了。今天看到一条关于深圳华强北电子市场的新闻：一台装了八颗H20芯片的服务器，价格从年初的100万元涨到了140万元。像DeepSeek-R1这种低功耗的AI应用，也因为算力不足压力山大。现在这些问题都能解决了。写到这里，我在想：梁文峰会不会因为H20的放开，加快DeepSeek R2的研发节奏？再看看长期挑战，我觉得：国产替代势在必行。这次禁令给中国企业上了一课——核心技术，必须掌握在自己手里。华为昇腾910B就是一个很好的例子。它的性能接近H20，在能耗上甚至更有优势。最关键的是，它是自主研发的，能减少对国外供应链的依赖。中国政府也在帮忙。国家发改委已经建议，企业在新建或扩建数据中心时，要严格监管AI芯片采购，优先使用国产芯片。国家集成电路产业基金也在加大力度，支持国产芯片研发。除了硬件，软件方面也在发力，华为的MindSpore、百度的PaddlePaddle这些国产框架，正在逐步完善，给开发者更多选择。不过，企业心态可能会出现短期分化。市面上仍有不少企业偏爱英伟达的产品，因为它们口碑好、兼容性强，尤其在金融、医疗这些领域更是主流。H20回归后，一些企业可能继续用它，这会挤压部分国产芯片的空间。所以，在这一轮“短暂喘息”中，大家都会在短期红利和长期战略之间寻找平衡，至于怎么把握这个平衡，每个企业心里，自然有一把秤。4、这个秤也给老黄一个警钟，它面对的，已经不是三年前那个“非英伟达不可”的中国市场了。那怎么办？我观察认为，英伟达接下来可能会从三个方向发力：我们不得不承认，H20阉割版在AI训练和推理上的表现依然很强。虽然性能受限，但它依然是一个“够用又不越界”的中间选择。因此，英伟达肯定会继续强调自己在高性能计算、易用性和生态兼容性上的优势，尤其是对需要稳定输出、快速落地的企业客户。比如：字节、腾讯、阿里这些大厂，在做模型训练时，仍倾向于使用成熟的工具链，而不是临时切换到新生态。然后，它可能会绑定头部企业，深化合作。光靠卖芯片已经不够了，黄仁勋去小米背后其实透露了一个信号：英伟达正在尝试与中国头部AI公司建立更深的合作关系。未来会不会与百度、阿里云、科大讯飞等公司在算法层、模型层进行联合优化？就像当年微软绑英特尔一样，不只是硬件买卖，而是要一起打造一套完整的“技术话语权体系”。这还需要进一步观察。另外，英伟达手里有全球超过400万开发者依赖的CUDA平台，中国AI框架90%以上基于CUDA开发，形成了难以复制的软件壁垒。最近有消息说，英伟达正与国内几家大型AI平台讨论共建基于CUDA的本地化AI训练方案；如果成功，不仅能保住一部分高端市场，还能在中国AI生态中继续保持存在感。我觉得，这次H20解禁之后，英伟达官方口径也会发生微妙变化。它肯定不会强调“我们是全球第一了”，而会说“我们愿意配合监管，为中国客户提供合规的产品和服务”。这可能意味着，从“我给你什么你就用什么”变成“你需要什么我就提供什么”，这种姿态为了让中国政府看到：我们可以共存，不会成为安全风险。那么问题来了：英伟达还能不能守住它的全球地位吗？毕竟全球AI生态还是围绕CUDA构建，很多核心技术和应用都离不开英伟达的底层架构，但长期来看，真正的挑战才刚刚开始。一旦中国建立起自己的芯片+软件生态，再加上国家的支持，很可能就会走出一条“去英伟达化”的路，而这，不仅是英伟达的问题，是整个美国半导体产业面临的危机。所以中美科技博弈的下一阶段，会不会出现两个平行的AI世界？以前，我会觉得是一个设想，不太现实，现在看来，也许我们真的需要换一个角度来理解这场竞争。美国对高端芯片出口的限制，看似一种“冷战式”的技术封锁，实际上反而给中国留出了时间窗口，去构建自己的训练体系和生态闭环。这种“可控脱钩”，某种程度上变成了中国技术自主发展的催化剂。你可以想象成：过去中美两条并行的河流，流向一致，但如今突然被一座大坝隔开，虽然还有一些支流交汇，但主干道已经各自奔向不同的方向。过去几十年，全球AI的发展基本围绕几个核心要素展开：英伟达GPU、CUDA平台、OpenAI、Meta等主导的大模型但现在，中国也正在构建属于自己的AI底层架构。中美之间不再是完全统一的一套技术世界，而是开始呈现出“双轨运行”的迹象。最关键的是，中国这边正在加速补足短板。所以，我有个判断：未来谁能率先跑通自己的“技术闭环”，谁就有可能定义下一个AI时代。什么是闭环？简单讲：芯片— 框架— 工具链 — 大模型 — 应用场景；这个链条能不能自洽、可持续、可迭代？目前来看：英伟达 + CUDA + OpenAI + AWS，是一套成熟的闭环；中国这边，华为昇腾 + MindSpore + Qwen + 盘古 + 通义万相，也形成自己的闭环。一旦这套体系真正跑通，中国AI发展将不再依赖美国的技术底座，这是真正的“去英伟达化”和“去西方主导化”的开始。世界正在变，技术没有回头路。靠得住的，从来都不是别人，而是自己。

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Eugenio Garibay analizan el arranque de la temporada de resultados financieros, poniendo la lupa sobre los gigantes de la banca y la gestión de activos. Comentan cómo las entidades tradicionales y los gestores especializados exhiben estrategias diferenciadas: desde récords históricos en ingresos hasta innovaciones en eficiencia real, impulsadas por IA y programas de recompra de acciones. El episodio también explora los avances tecnológicos clave de la semana: Nvidia acapara titulares con la autorización de exportar sus H20 a China, acelerando la competencia global en inteligencia artificial, mientras Google apuesta fuerte en el suministro eléctrico, invirtiendo para asegurar capacidad energética que respalde sus crecientes centros de datos y la expansión de la IA.Finalmente, el análisis cierra con una lectura a los datos de inflación publicados minutos antes: cómo los aranceles y las nuevas presiones en energía y bienes de consumo están influenciando las previsiones de la Reserva Federal y reconfigurando las expectativas del mercado para el segundo semestre del año.

On today's podcast: 1) Nvidia surges to an all-time high on news it will resume Chip sales to China. US government officials told Nvidia they would green-light export licenses for the H20 artificial intelligence accelerator, according to the company. The move is seen as a "massive win" for Nvidia's Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, and is also viewed positively by Vey-Sern Ling, managing director at Union Bancaire Privee, who says it is "obviously positive" for Nvidia, the AI semiconductor supply chain, and China tech platforms.2) The European Union puts out new tariff targets if it can't reach a deal with the US. The European Union has finalized a list of countermeasures to target US goods worth €72 billion, including Boeing Co. aircraft, automobiles and bourbon. The list includes US machinery products, chemicals and plastics, medical devices, electrical equipment, wines and other agricultural goods, according to a document prepared by the European Commission. The EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic says the US tariff policy is "effectively prohibitive" to transatlantic trade, and the EU insists any settlement must be mutually beneficial to both sides.3) Big bank earnings begin with JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citi reporting. America’s biggest banks are heading into earnings season with tailwinds from trading and lending as they benefit from market volatility and steady borrowing costs. Investment banking may be a weak spot as sluggish closings offset a pickup in deal announcements, Bloomberg Intelligence said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Summer Slash 7, your ultimate horror movie marathon from Binge-Watchers Podcast! This episode takes flight with a deep-dive review of BATS (1999), a creature feature full of genetically engineered horror, wild kills, and a surprisingly committed performance from Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Young Guns). We talk mad scientists, cheesy 90s CGI, and why the bats in this movie deserve their own villain origin story.But that's not all—we also revisit Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later, where Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode... again. Is her PTSD legit this time or just another cash-in? We break down the Halloween franchise multiverse (yes, there are four timelines now), why H20 feels like a weird Scream spinoff, and how Josh Hartnett may have been the weakest link in the final girl's family tree.
