OpenAI retreats from strict US chip export controls on China

OpenAI has dropped its push for strict limits on US chip exports to China ahead of the lame-duck session and moved closer to President Trump's position, Politico reports. The company had advocated for tight restrictions for much of last year; Nvidia is seen as a big winner.

• OpenAI no longer pushes for strict chip export limits on China
• The shift came ahead of the lame-duck congressional session
• OpenAI's stance has aligned closer with President Trump
