🚫 US CLOSES LOOPHOLES ON AI CHIPS EXPORTED TO CHINA

We've been hearing about it for a while, but it looks like it's finally happening....

The U.S. is ramping up its restrictions on chip exports to China by closing various loopholes, focusing heavily on AI chips. The Biden administration is especially aiming to prevent U.S. technology from bolstering China's military.

In response, China's accusing the U.S. of suppressing its tech companies.

A notable instance from the past year is Nvidia facing export blocks on its premier AI chips. But don't worry, they have a workaround: they'll be releasing a pared-down version for the Chinese market.

With new guidelines on the horizon, China's AI development could face more obstacles. As these tech chess moves unfold, the intricacies of U.S.-China relations are further revealed.

🤖 IS META TURNING INTO AN AI COMPANY?

Meta's main focus as a company is the metaverse...right…? (Cue Anakin/Padme meme).

From their name, one might think that; but their annual Connect event felt more like an AI confab than a VR one.

At this point, Mark's all about Llama, Meta's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Unlike GPT though, Meta says it's going open source. Their goal is to essentially become the "Linux of AI".

But Wall Street's scratching its head - how do you value a free product, especially when that model's changing the LLM landscape?

Zuckerberg's endgame isn't just short term cash. He's banking on talent attraction and third-party tinkering to refine Llama.

Oh, and Hugging Face? It's pretty much Llama's playground now. Remember, it's not just about the tech; it's about the long game.
