In the time of tariffs, Nvidia and AMD cut unusual deals with Trump | Nvidia
Hello and welcome to Techscape. My Spotify playlists will go through a British invasion this week. Here is what I hear: Pink pantheressPresent Lola Young And Evita in London.
Privilege with the president
Donald Trump announced this week that two US chip manufacturers would show 15% of their turnover from sales in China to the US government. Payment of the license for sale to Chinese customers is an unprecedented offer.
My colleague Helen Davidson Reports from Taipei:
The chip makers Nvidia And AMD has agreed to give the US government 15% of its income from advanced chips that were sold to China to maintain export licenses on the key market.
The agreement will result in NVIDIA achieving 15% of its sales from the Chinese turnover of its H20 chips and AMD 15% of sales from Chinese sales of its Mi308 chips.
The H20 and Mi308 chips were banned from sale to China in April, although the H20 H20 restrictions introduced by the biden administration were specially designed for compliance with restrictions.
The CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, head of the most valuable company in the world with 4.44 participants, has been praising the White House for months to open sales in China, where the United States is still prohibiting the sales of Nvidia's most advanced chips compared to National Security concerns. In July, Trump relaxed some restrictions that were imposed by Joe Bide's administration.
The deal with NVIDIA and AMD seems to be Trump as well as the income for the US government generates. The agreement has all the traps that Trump entered into the business with the chipmakers.
In a way, it is a version of a play book that has tried other large technology companies because Trump dramatically changes the international business landscape. Apple an investment operation of $ 100 billion announced in the US production. CEO Tim Cook, who had made the trip to the White House himself, presented Trump a Glass Trophy (including 24 Karat Gold Base) with the President as a graduate of the Apple Manufacturing Academy, which was introduced to Michigan in Michigan the week earlier.
During his meeting with Cook, Trump said that he would raise a 100% tariff for semiconductor chips that could reset both Apple and Nvidia billions. However, the president said: “If you build in the United States of America, there is no charges.”
Both Nvidia and Apple are likely to be freed from the tariffs. Each seems to have paid the privilege-Apple with its domestic investment, Nvidia with his income participation.
Openai Debüts GPT-5
Openai launched the new version of artificial intelligence, which is based Chatt Last week. There are some aspects of the publication to understand them completely what does the company say where the AI race between the tech giants is, the new skills and pitfalls of the model that the environmental influence-ego has rounded off the guard of GPT-5 below.
Openaai said that GPT-5 had marked improved coding and writing skills to its predecessor. My colleague Dan Milmo reports:
Openaai claimed to have taken an “important step” towards artificial general intelligence (AGI) with the start of his latest upgrades to Chatgpt, but has admitted that there are still “many things” that are missing in search of a system to do people able to do jobs.
Sam Altman, Chief Executive from Openai, described the model as a “significant step forward” for the theoretical state of the AGI, which defines the startup as a highly autonomous system that exceeds people with economically valuable work – or in other words, in other words, in other words.

The race for artificial general intelligence runs hot, with Tech giant hundreds of billions of dollars pour into the technology, but like Openaai, Google and Meta, indicate that you have not yet reached this goal. Dan Milmo and Dara Kerr report: “[It is] Something very important is missing, many things very important, ”said Altman, like the inability of the model, to“ continuously learn ”even after its start. In other words, these systems are impressive, but they have to enable them to enable the autonomy to enable them to have a full -time job.
Last month, Mark Zuckerberg, Managing Director of Facebook Parent Meta, said the development of superintelligence – another theoretical state of the AI, in which a system far exceeds human cognitive abilities – “now in sight”. Google's AI unit described its next step in the AGI on Tuesday by announcing an unpublished model that forms AIS for interaction with a convincing simulation of the real world.

How do we know that Openai's new model is not an omniscient presence that prevails across humanity: GPT-5 makes some stupid mistakes. It fights in a way with cards that a 10-year-old could. By my colleague Josh Taylor: When Guardian Australia asked the latest Chatgpt model to identify the number of RS in Australia's states and territories, it could identify those who did this. But the AI also believed that Northern Territory did not have three RS. When he was asked to produce it on a card, the territory spelled the territory as a “Northan Territor”.

GPT-5 is a more powerful model than its predecessor, which means that it uses more resources to answer every query. Here is what experts Aisha Kehoe told: “A more complex model such as GPT-5 consumes more electricity both during training and during the inference. I can also focus on long thoughts. I can say with certainty that it will make a lot more than GPT-4,” said Rakesh Kumar, professor at the University of Illinois, who is currently working on the energy consumption of calculations and AI models.
In view of the latest reports that Chatgpt processed 2.5 billion inquiries per day, the total consumption of GPT-5 could reach the daily electricity requirement of 1.5 m US houses.

End of an era: AOL to set his dial-up internet service after 30 years
Surprise: AOL, formerly known as America online, still offered a dial-up internet service in 2025. my colleague Edward Helmore reports:
The HISS, pings and screeches that brought millions of Americans into the emerging online world are to be officially retired when AOLS closes dial-up internet at the end of September.
At its peak at the end of the 90s and early 2000s, AOL had over 23 million subscribers to the United States and was the dominant Internet service provider at that time.
At the moment, only a small part of the US household ETWA is based 175,000-on dial-up for internet access and web browser platforms.
In 2013, Pew Research showed that only 3% of American households used the dial-up internet. Figure 2025 corresponds less than 0.5% of the current population.
What seemed omnipresent in the United States and Great Britain is now a relic and only a partially important piece of the history of the Internet. Many parts of the world that are now online have never experienced-maybe endured, the more suitable word could be the Internet. They jumped directly to broadband, WLAN or the mobile Internet, a phenomenon known as a technological overthrow.
