- Description
- America has a chip strategy for AI. It doesn't have an open-source one.
Washington spent billions protecting the hardware layer — the CHIPS Act, a stake in Intel, export controls on Nvidia. But the models the world actually builds on are increasingly coming out of China: DeepSeek, Z.ai's GLM, Moonshot's Kimi. Open weights can be downloaded, customized and run on your own servers, and are often cheaper.
Now the pressure is coming from inside American tech. Jensen Huang used his first post on X to publish an open letter urging Washington to treat open-weight AI as a strategic asset — co-signed by some of the biggest AI players, with Anthropic the major holdout.
Meanwhile enterprises are asking a harder question: who owns what the AI learns about your business? Deirdre Bosa tackles the layer of the AI stack Washington isn't funding.

- Why Audi Is Pushing Three New SUVs
- Runtime

- 2 months ago
- Description
- Audi sales have struggled over the last several quarters in the US. The brand is challenged by tariffs, a shift away from EVs and vehicles that are neither selling well nor garnering the critical approval for which Audi had been known in the past. Competitors BMW and Mercedes-Benz are performing better overall. The brand has unveiled three new SUVs in the US this year. The three row, full-size SUV is the third SUV it has unveiled in 2026. This product offensive will give Audi the “youngest” SUV lineup in the US premium market, the company said. Analysts say this new lineup, along with other updates to other vehicles, can give the brand a boost. But some of Audi’s challenges are structural.

- AMD is one of the best performing chip stocks of 2026, following a decade-long comeback in data center chips. Now, it’s making its biggest competitive move against Nvidia yet. AMD’s first rack-scale system for AI, Helios, is shipping later this year - and it’s the world’s first competitor to Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems. Now, Microsoft has signed up to use Helios in its data centers, joining other customers Meta, OpenAI and Oracle. But with a price tag of at least $5 million, analysts estimate Helios will cost at least $1 million more than Nvidia Vera Rubin. CNBC got an exclusive first look inside the 7,000 pound behemoth, and sat down with AMD data center and AI leads to ask how its first-generation AI system can compete with Nvidia - and what sets it apart.
