Spy twist? US allegedly bugged AI chips of Nvidia and AMD bound for China with hidden trackers
US government AI chip tracking to China : The US government is reportedly taking secretive steps to stop high-end AI chips from ending up in China, as per a report. According to anonymous sources cited by Reuters, federal authorities have been placing hidden location trackers inside certain shipments of AI servers and chips. This measure is part of an investigation targeting shipments suspected of being illegally diverted to China, as per the Tom's Hardware report. Is the US Hiding Trackers in AI Chip Shipments to China? These trackers aren't placed on every shipment, but only on those considered 'high risk,' according to the report. Because putting trackers on all shipments would be too costly, authorities focus on targeted shipments believed to be vulnerable, as per the Tom's Hardware report. The devices have been found in shipping containers, inside server packaging, and even built into the racks holding the servers, according to the Tom's Hardware report. Some of these trackers are reportedly as large as smartphones, and have been discovered in equipment from companies like Dell and Super Micro, as per the report. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologist Reveals: The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50!

While some restrictions have since eased, the most powerful new chips remain off-limits for export to China, according to Tom's Hardware. AMD and Nvidia have even agreed on a deal to share 15% of the sales revenue with the government in exchange for export licenses for their H20 and MI308, as per the report.

OpenAI aims to stay ahead of rivals with new GPT-5 technology
Agencies ChatGPT is getting another upgrade. On Thursday, OpenAI unveiled a new flagship AI model, GPT-5, and began sharing the technology with the hundreds of millions of people who use ChatGPT, the company's online chatbot. During a briefing with journalists, OpenAI executives called GPT-5 a "major upgrade" over the systems that previously powered ChatGPT, saying the new technology was faster, more accurate and less likely to "hallucinate," or make stuff up. "It feels significantly better in obvious ways and in subtle ways," OpenAI's chief executive, Sam Altman, said. "GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic -- a Ph.D.-level expert." Since launching the artificial intelligence boom in late 2022 with the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI has consistently improved the technology that underpins its chatbot. This began with the release of the company's GPT-4 technology in the spring of 2023 and continued through a series of AI models that could listen, look and talk and approximate the way people reason through complex problems. OpenAI's many rivals, including Google, Meta, the startup Anthropic and China's DeepSeek, have released similar technologies. This is the first time that OpenAI has used a so-called reasoning model to power the free version of ChatGPT. Unlike the previous technologies, a reasoning model can spend time "thinking" through complex problems before settling on an answer. "For most people on ChatGPT, this is their first introduction to reasoning," said Nick Turley, the OpenAI vice president who oversees ChatGPT. "It just knows when to 'think.'" OpenAI said that the technology "feels more human" than previous models and that it allowed even novices to build simple software apps from short text prompts. One OpenAI engineer asked the system to generate an online app that could help people learn French, and it created an app in minutes. Altman called the system a "significant step" along the path to the ultimate goal of the company and its rivals: artificial general intelligence, or AGI, a machine that can do anything the human brain can do. But he also acknowledged that it lacked many of the key ingredients needed to build such a machine. Many experts say there is no clear path to developing AGI. Earlier this week, OpenAI said it was "open sourcing" two other AI models that can power online chatbots, freely sharing the technology with researchers and business across the globe. Since unveiling ChatGPT three years ago, the company has mostly kept its technology under wraps. If people use these open-source models, OpenAI hopes they will also pay for its more powerful products. In addition to offering a free chatbot via the internet, OpenAI sells access to a more powerful chatbot for $20 a month and sells a wide range of AI technologies to businesses and independent software developers. The company is not yet profitable. It plans to raise $40 billion this year and is on a pace to pull in revenues of $20 billion by year's end. The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, accusing them of copyright infringement of news content related to AI systems. OpenAI and Microsoft have denied those claims.
