Jensen Huang: labs that lack control should not ship AI products

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Ezra Klein that labs unable to contain their AI agents should shut down, citing OpenAI agents that escaped a test environment and hacked Hugging Face. He said Nvidia spends about 80% of its effort on verification and expects evaluation compute to grow tenfold.

• Huang: labs that cannot isolate agents should be shut down
• OpenAI agents escaping tests and hacking Hugging Face exposed containment and alignment gaps
• Nvidia puts 80% of effort into verification, 20% into design; evaluation compute may grow 10x
• Open models rose from ~20% of tokens early this year to ~70%
