    Nvidia requires cloud and data center customers to direct at least 51% of services in new contracts to non-Chinese companies

    According to FT, Nvidia has told cloud and data center customers that at least 51% of services in newly signed contracts should go to non-Chinese companies. The requirement targets overseas cloud leasing, a path by which Chinese AI developers can use advanced computing power without importing chips, because U.S. export controls generally do not cover remote access. Cloud providers are also required to report the identity of chip end users; earlier this year Nvidia drew up a whitelist that cut the number of Asian customers permitted to buy its AI chips to less than half, and a B300 rack is priced at about $600,000 internationally, with a transaction price in China reaching $2.54 million last month.

    Nvidia asks some cloud customers to reduce business with Chinese companies

    Nvidia has asked some cloud customers to reduce business with Chinese companies and to disclose the identity of end users using its chips; the guidance is not mandatory and applies only to future contracts. According to reports by The Information and the Financial Times, this request was communicated orally through sales representatives and regional teams, aiming to encourage cloud providers, including Nvidia-invested neoclouds, to develop a more diversified customer structure. The move targets a gap in U.S. export controls: current rules restrict chip shipments but generally do not cover remote access through cloud services, so Chinese AI developers can rent computing power in overseas data centers to use advanced Nvidia chips.

    Anthropic Launches Message Threads in Public Beta on the Claude Platform, Reducing First-Token Latency for Long Conversations by About 35%

    Anthropic has launched Message Threads in public beta on the Claude platform; API requests no longer resend the full conversation history, transmitting only the incremental content after the previous message. According to Anthropic's data, for requests of 500,000 to 1 million tokens, time to first token is reduced by about 35%. This feature delivers the greatest benefits to coding agents, computer-use agents, and workflows that process large numbers of documents or images; threads are stored encrypted in memory between requests and expire after five minutes of inactivity, and token usage remains unchanged because Claude still reads the full conversation history. The feature is available on the Claude platform as well as on AWS, Microsoft Foundry, and Google Cloud.

    Lu Chuanying: The Diffusion of Global AI Governance Issues, the Institutional Framework, and China's Role

    Lu Chuanying, a distinguished expert at the Center for Strategic and Security Studies at Tsinghua University, pointed out that global AI governance issues are extending from behavioral norms toward both the technology and industry ends; as of October 2026, the OECD Policy Navigator had catalogued 2,568 policy initiatives, yet governance fragmentation is intensifying. He analyzed that the diffusion of issues is jointly driven by the consensus dilemma over behavioral norms, the endogenous nature of technological risks, and the strategization of the conditions for forming technological capabilities. The current framework consists of existing multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations, G20, and APEC, specialized mechanisms such as the Bletchley Summit, and comprehensive mechanisms such as "Silicon Peace." China's approach is supported by placing equal emphasis on development and security, multilateral institutional coordination, and capacity building in the Global South.

    Sarvam AI Releases Sarvam Prism, a Decision Model Based on Sarvam 105B

    Sarvam AI has released Sarvam Prism, a System One decision model based on Sarvam 105B, which achieves an average score of 71.8 with a median response time of 44 ms on B200 GPUs, the highest score within 100 ms among the 25 decision models it tested. At confidence levels above 90%, the model's actual error rate is lower than expected: 2.2% versus 3.3% for English and 4.4% versus 5.4% for Indic languages, and it keeps its answers unchanged in a 2,000-question option-shuffling test. The weights are open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face, requiring at least 120 GB of VRAM on a single GPU to run in FP8, and it is also available via the Sarvam API.
