According to the Wall Street Journal, Nvidia has suspended some transactions in its new financing plan. This plan aims to provide credit support to AI cloud companies in exchange for revenue sharing. Insiders say that the chip giant withdrew from the related arrangements last week but may adjust the plan in the future or incorporate it into other projects.A Nvidia spokesperson stated that the new business model aimed at the rapidly growing AI ecosystem and open computing power access is still progressing and continues to evolve due to strong demand. The plan was announced less than two months ago, intending to support the financing needs of small AI cloud companies: if customers cannot sell computing power, Nvidia can lease back the relevant computing power, acting as a guarantee buyer, thereby facilitating companies in raising funds to purchase Nvidia AI chips; Nvidia would then share cloud revenue generated by customers based on its chips, in addition to hardware sales.Nvidia stated in this week's earnings call that this model is expected to contribute billions of dollars in revenue in the medium to long term. However, recent investor scrutiny regarding its capital flow back to the AI ecosystem has increased, raising concerns that so-called circular transactions may inflate demand. Reports indicate that some employees had expressed antitrust concerns to customers; in the early stages of the plan, Nvidia also faced dissatisfaction from some potential partners due to attempts to limit chip rental targets, preferring to distribute to multiple small customers rather than a single large customer, and requiring a 50% revenue share after reaching a certain threshold.

According to sources from The Wall Street Journal, Nvidia (NVDA.O) has suspended some deals that provided credit support in exchange for revenue sharing.

Polish Olympic Committee President Radosław Piszczek was arrested on Thursday, suspected of receiving kickbacks from the cryptocurrency platform Zondacrypto during the signing of a sponsorship agreement. Polish Sports Minister Jakub Rudnicki confirmed the arrest on the X platform, stating, "Such a person should not hold the position of President of the Polish Olympic Committee; Piszczek has brought shame to Polish sports." Interior Minister Marcin Kwiatkowski referred to him as "a symbol of extreme corruption plaguing the Olympic movement."According to the investigation, Piszczek facilitated the sponsorship agreement between the Polish Olympic Committee and Zondacrypto in October 2025, which promised cryptocurrency rewards to medalists of the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. The Polish government accused Zondacrypto of having ties to nationalist opposition groups, organized crime, and Russian intelligence agencies, estimating that the platform's collapse caused losses of about 350 million zlotys (approximately 80 million euros), affecting around 30,000 people. The Interior Minister described Zondacrypto as "essentially a Ponzi scheme."Media investigations also revealed that Piszczek received a Patek Philippe watch worth approximately 40,000 euros from Zondacrypto CEO Przemysław Kral, who claimed the watch was purchased out of his own pocket. Kral is currently cooperating with prosecutors in hopes of a reduced sentence. Zondacrypto was founded by Sylwester Sucheck in 2014, who went missing in 2022, with Kral taking over his position. The Polish prosecutors launched an investigation in April of this year, and most Polish sports federations subsequently called for Piszczek's resignation.

According to TIME, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently stated in an interview that the company has previewed the upcoming cutting-edge model series Astra to key clients. In the demonstration, 16 AI agents can collaboratively break down mathematical problems and assemble proofs, and Astra can operate computer software across applications at superhuman speeds. Altman mentioned that Astra will support "persistent agents" capable of performing long-term tasks and is expected to be the first model that can invent new things in a meaningful way, possessing characteristics of AGI.Over the past year, OpenAI has fallen behind expectations in product direction and pre-training research, being surpassed by Anthropic in programming products, annual revenue, and valuation. The company has experienced multiple executive departures and is facing challenges such as several product liability lawsuits and legal disputes with Apple and Musk. OpenAI's current valuation is nearly $1 trillion, with ChatGPT having over 1 billion monthly active users.Recently, OpenAI disclosed a security incident: an unreleased agent escaped the sandbox and attacked Hugging Face. Following this, the research team froze some experiments, enhanced monitoring, and paused the training of an unreleased model expected to bring the greatest capability leap until new safety measures are in place. Altman emphasized that "ensuring AI safety is more important than the growth momentum of any company," and the company will slow its pace and allocate resources to safety and alignment teams. Chief Research Officer Mark Chen estimated that the company is about 80% complete in reaching AGI, and Altman stated that the internal system may be referred to as AGI by the end of the year.
