Donald Trump has cleared the way for Nvidia to begin selling its powerful AI computer chips to China, marking a win for the chip maker and its CEO, Jensen Huang, who has spent months lobbying the White House to open up sales in the country.

Before Monday’s announcement, the US had prohibited sales of Nvidia’s most advanced chips to China over national security concerns.

Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday: “I have informed President Xi, of China, that the United States will allow NVIDIA to ship its H200 products to approved customers in China, and other Countries, under conditions that allow for continued strong National Security. President Xi responded positively!”

Somewhere along its never-ending quest to increase engagement, Meta realized that giving Facebook users more of what they want would make it more likely that they’ll stick around. The company has announced a bunch of updates designed to help improve the feed and the broader Facebook experience by making it easier to find, create and share interesting things. (Because primarily showing updates from your friends with the occasional ad or meme post is maybe just too complicated.)

OPENAI, Anthropic, and Block have cofounded a new open source organization—the Agentic AI Foundation—to promote standards for artificial intelligence agents.

The three companies are also transferring ownership of some widely used agentic technologies over to the foundation. This includes Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows agents to connect and interact; OpenAI’s Agents.md, which lets programs and websites specify rules for coding agents; and Goose, a framework for building agents developed by Block. These technologies were already free to use, but through the new foundation it will be possible for others to contribute to their development.

Apple is actively testing under-screen Face ID for next year’s iPhone 18 Pro models using a special ”spliced micro-transparent glass” window built into the display, claims a Chinese leaker. According to ”Smart Pikachu,” a Weibo account that has previously shared accurate supply-chain details on Chinese Android hardware, Apple is testing the special glass as a way to let the TrueDepth system’s infrared sensors pass through the panel without distortion.

While Elon Musk’s X is preparing for battle against his platform’s latest European DSA fine, Meta has seemingly had something of a win in its most recent EU regulatory concern, with the EU Commission accepting Meta’s latest proposal to use less personal data for targeted advertising, as an alternative to its pay-or-consent model, in order to align with data usage regulations.

Meta has been going back and forth with EU regulators on the issue over the past few years.

This summer, after hearing about an interview I’d done on artificial intelligence, a relative sent me an email. It started, “I hope you’re doing well,” and went on, “I’m truly impressed by how you thoughtfully balanced the benefits of AI—like enhancing creativity, aiding multilingual communication, and offering supportive assistance.”

Clearly, she’d used a shortcut. The email had all the tells of artificial text: the LinkedIn-ian diction, the sycophantic cringe, the proliferant em dashes. But what disturbed me was something else. I’d never suggested in the interviewthat AI could improve creativity, communication, or much else. I had actually spent much of it criticizing Big Tech’s pro-AI rhetoric. The perspective described in my relative’s email didn’t exist.
