New: Anthropic blocks Chinese firms’ subsidiaries worldwide from AI access
One to watch - whether OpenAI, DeepMind and others follow suit. Another case of Anthropic trying to pressure competitors into taking difficult decisions, given the revenue that would need to be written…
My latest: Moonshot AI’s new update expands K2 context window to 256k and promises significantly improved coding abilities - what looks like an Anthropic-style AGI bet on code. Included some great quotes from protege founder Yang Zhilin's recent interview, his first in a year.…
Happy to have won a SOPA for my story on Bunker, the academic bar in Shanghai that went viral last year. Sad to say that it was finally forced to close by the authorities just a couple weeks ago - but its young team will no doubt continue to do great and interesting things!
Wow. Ren Zhengfei gets front page treatment on today's People's Daily, usually reserved for party leaders. While confident re. China's chips situation, he identifies two key AI bottlenecks: talent pipeline and basic research. Whole interview worth reading

"A famous Chinese essay written 100 years ago was evaluated by the tools as more than 60 per cent AI-generated"
Clearly what's needed now is an AI content detection detector

Nice interview with @AngelaZhangHK, her main points:
- Beijing keen not to stifle AI development with burdensome regs
- Reg focus still mainly content moderation
- She calls on China and US to take AI risks more seriously, akin to "buying insurance."

My colleague @irobotmckenzie spent six hours red-teaming Claude 4 Opus, and easily bypassed safeguards designed to block WMD development. Claude gave >15 pages of non-redundant instructions for sarin gas, describing all key steps in the manufacturing process.
Did you know the Chinese gov publishes an official list of public-facing generative AI tools operating in China? I spent the last six months cataloging and analyzing all 3,739 of them. Here are my early findings – and my data set. Exec sum in thread. 1/9 triviumchina.com/research/seeki…
"During breaks between events, his team would place calls to groups of voters in red states and put him on the line... They would make calls from the motorcade, from the campaign plane, as many as 10 a day."
Love him, hate him - his energy and instincts are simply incredible

Alibaba’s Qwen3 possible release later today, described as “generalist model” (non reasoning and reasoning in the same model) just before China’s golden week holiday. Going to be a huge few weeks for Chinese AI if DeepSeek R2 also drops soon as expected

iFlytek's models are ones to watch closely as entity listing has meant theirs are the only Chinese reasoning models wholly trained on Huawei ecosystem. As Huawei improves, as it seems to be doing rapidly, expect similarly of iFlytek

🚨🚨New Working Paper🚨🚨
AI-generated content is getting more politically persuasive. But does labeling it as AI-generated change its impact?🤔
Our research says the disclosure of AI authorship has little to no effect on the persuasiveness of AI-generated content.
🧵1/6
Interesting list from SCMP similar to several Wechat articles at the end of last year that heavily insinuated US involvement in killing these researchers e.g. mp.weixin.qq.com/s/PpZkaVyqD2xo…sc.mp/dcmb9?utm_sour…
lol. What was an incipient bipartisan pro-tariff, pro-industrial party movement is being turned into an full fledged bipartisan anti-tariff, anti-industrial policy movement.
My @barronsonline debut with @SamBresnick! PRC AI companies are following a familiar playbook for PRC tech. What does this mean for the AI race?
Esp timely w/ Alibaba’s release of QwQ-32B, another open-source SOTA PRC model.
