According to the Beijing Daily, on November 11, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jia Kun hosted a regular press conference. A Reuters reporter asked about the recent allegations involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, noting that U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday again called for tightening restrictions on China's access to advanced artificial intelligence chips. Guo Jia Kun responded, "China's position on the issue of U.S. chip exports to China has been consistent."Previously, on November 8, Jensen Huang sent a letter to employees acknowledging personal matters, which were later implicated in a spy scandal. Both parties in the U.S. Congress used this opportunity to push for export restrictions on AI chips to China, with reports indicating that Republicans and Democrats are urgently promoting three related bills.

U.S. Republican Senator Kevin Cramer accepted an interview with POLITICO and publicly called for Jensen Huang to resign as CEO of NVIDIA. He believes that Huang's extramarital affair poses a serious potential blackmail risk, especially considering that NVIDIA holds highly sensitive AI chip technology. Cramer stated, "The risk of being blackmailed is just too great; I think he must go."Cramer is a member of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is reviewing several bills aimed at strengthening export controls on advanced AI chips. He believes that while it is certainly possible for NVIDIA's board to initiate an internal investigation, it is far from enough. Earlier that day, Larry Kudlow, the former director of the White House National Economic Council during Trump's first term, also publicly urged on Fox Business, "Mr. Huang, resign now." He believes this is a reasonable action for Jensen Huang to take at this time.As the controversy escalates, the U.S. Congress is also accelerating its scrutiny of NVIDIA's chip exports. The three bills under consideration by the Senate Banking Committee involve strengthening export approvals for advanced chips, tracking the destination of chips, and restricting the export of certain semiconductor manufacturing equipment. These bills are vying to be included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act and have not yet been fully passed.

According to a report by Reuters, three informed sources stated that Microsoft and other companies and industry groups are urging the Trump administration to stop plans to ban the import of key components for AI data centers from China. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is advancing a related ban involving new optical modules from China, which are used to transmit data via fiber optics within data centers and connect servers, routers, and switches. Microsoft has met with officials from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the National Security Council to explain the supply chain challenges that the ban could bring.John Miller, Vice President of Policy and General Counsel at the Information Technology Industry Council, stated that many cloud service providers have procured AI chips, and without optical modules, these chips will not be able to interconnect. According to Cleanview data, Microsoft currently has 35 data centers under construction in the United States, with another 134 planned. Counterpoint Research data shows that Chinese companies account for about two-thirds of the global optical module market, with Eoptolink and Zhongji Xuchuang as major suppliers.

Elon Musk responded to user Dimdv's question on X, stating that the upcoming Grok 4.8 is "not good enough" compared to Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, and called "Opus 5.5 a masterpiece." He added that the next-generation model Grok 5 is expected to surpass Opus 5.5 in two to three months, but did not provide a comparative score or a specific release date.Musk also disclosed the progress of Grok 4.8: the model has completed pre-training and is still undergoing reinforcement learning, with the team spending significant time cleaning the supervised fine-tuning data. He mentioned that xAI has abandoned JAX and SGLang, opting for a reasoning and reinforcement learning system rewritten in C and C++, and stated that Starlink engineers are involved in building the relevant training and reasoning tech stack. Grok 4.8 is expected to be launched this week for a limited number of Bot users.Anthropic released Opus 5.5 on September 22, achieving performance close to its high-end model Fable 5.1 on most tasks, with operating costs under typical workloads being 40% lower than the previous generation Opus. In the Terminal-Bench 4 test, Anthropic reported that Opus 5.5 scored 66.4%, while OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra scored 57.9%.

BitGo had previously provided custody (launching in 2025) and staking services (with an annual yield of about 7%) for Aptos, and this time added on-chain market access functionality. The page did not disclose the specific scale and amount of the holdings.

After Nvidia founder Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair, the outside world began to calculate the potential property division if he were to divorce. According to Forbes, Jensen Huang currently has a net worth of approximately 155.2 billion dollars. Under California's community property system, assets acquired during the marriage are generally divided equally between the spouses. If this wealth is entirely considered community property, his wife Lori Huang could theoretically receive about 77.6 billion dollars, equivalent to over 500 billion yuan.The two met before Nvidia was founded. Jensen Huang met 19-year-old Lori when he was 17 at Oregon State University, where both were electrical engineering students and lab partners. Jensen Huang recalled that there were about 250 students in the entire program, with only 3 being female. To pursue Lori, he suggested they do homework together every Sunday and promised he could help her get all A's; he would complete the assignments in advance and show her the answers when they met.Jensen Huang also promised Lori that he would become a CEO before turning 30. The two married in 1985 and have been together for 41 years. In 1993, Jensen Huang founded Nvidia and became CEO at the age of 30. Lori was originally a chip engineer but later left the workforce to take care of their children. Jensen Huang has publicly stated that his wife has been involved in every step of Nvidia's development, accompanying him to almost every press conference and important speech. He even joked with company executives that since their marriage, his wife has handled almost all household affairs, including signing documents and managing family finances, to the extent that he doesn't even know the address of their home and never personally pays the bills.

According to SolanaFloor, Layer 33, composed of independent Solana validators, is calling for a pause on the removal of validators under the new rules of the Solana Foundation Delegation Program (SFDP).The new rules group existing members for removal on a weekly basis and limit participation to 12 months, after which validators will lose staking support from the program. The organization warns that the new program's cap of 100 validators and the 12-month limit "are detrimental to decentralization," will push out experienced independent operators, and will concentrate staking in the hands of large validators.

According to a report by the American financial media Semafor, a memorandum shows that Public First Action, associated with the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, and its affiliated super political action committee believe that AI safety advocates view the U.S. midterm elections as a significant victory and are formulating the next phase of their action plan.Public First, which has received substantial funding from Anthropic and advocates for regulatory safeguards for artificial intelligence, stated that the super political action committee Leading the Future, which supports AI development, has already "suffered a crushing defeat." The organization also warned that interpreting this round of elections and the decline of Leading the Future as the end of large tech companies' AI political strategies would be a mistake.The goals set by the organization for 2027 include: promoting legislation on AI in Congress that does not exclude states' rights to legislate independently, supporting candidates advocating for AI safety regulation, and utilizing the current $30 million in funds to counter the messages conveyed by the pro-AI development camp.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) released a new report titled "Combating the Full Chain of Illegal Fund Flows Related to Scam Hubs," calling on countries to take globally coordinated action to dismantle scam parks and their criminal networks.The report points out that criminals use channels such as cash, virtual assets, and instant payment platforms to launder money, and leverage AI, deep forgery, and automation technologies to scale up their operations. Among these, virtual assets have become the core channel for money laundering; in some cases, scam hubs even have dedicated over-the-counter trading counters for handling virtual asset exchanges and domestic fund transfers.In one case, blockchain analysis revealed that the total amount of funds sent in by victims exceeded $100 million, ultimately flowing into a cluster of virtual asset wallets associated with a particular scam hub.To address this, the FATF proposed six core principles, including focusing on a broader criminal ecosystem, end-to-end disruption of illegal fund flows, enhancing interdepartmental information sharing and cooperation, rapid cross-border action (especially within 24-72 hours after an incident), a victim-centered approach, and continuously adapting to changes in criminal methods.

According to Tencent Hunyuan news, Hunyuan Hy4 was launched on November 4th on WorkBuddy. To ensure user experience, the team has urgently expanded the Hy4 inference cluster tenfold and increased the free usage quota for users, and will continue to dynamically allocate resources.Due to the limitations of high-end computing power and peak concurrency concentration, it is still possible that quota situations may continue to occur during certain periods. It is recommended to switch to other models such as Hy3 or use them during off-peak evening hours. The current WorkBuddy free usage for Hy3 will be extended until November 15, 2026, at 23:59.

According to Bitcoin.com, CoinShares Research Director James Butterfill stated regarding the results of the U.S. midterm elections on November 3 that Bitcoin has largely priced in the expectations of a Democratic victory. With uncertainty removed, there is room for a rebound, and the expected results may not necessarily trigger another round of selling.Butterfill warned that a greater concern is the slowdown in crypto reform. The Clarity Act faces a more difficult path, and investigations into Trump-related businesses may consume political capital and generate unsettling headlines in the industry. He believes that U.S. crypto stocks may be more sensitive than Bitcoin, especially exchanges, token issuers, and businesses reliant on new regulatory licenses.Butterfill also mentioned that compliant operators could benefit from competitors facing stricter scrutiny. For Bitcoin, real yields, dollar liquidity, and ETP fund flows remain more important than the elections.

The decentralized AI infrastructure project DGrid AI announced that its Model Marketplace is currently processing over 60 billion tokens daily, with API calls exceeding 2 million times per day; the platform has launched over 200 models, and the number of model providers connected to DGrid Gateway has increased from over 30 earlier this year to over 100.DGrid AI stated that it will continue to optimize around model discovery, integration experience, and inference performance to help developers improve the efficiency from API integration to product launch, assist model providers in reaching more users, and further promote the formation of a more open and active model ecosystem.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned at Devcon 8 that AI poses new threats to security and privacy, while also helping to discover vulnerabilities. He questioned the security of hardware wallets and cautioned against making cryptocurrency investments based on social media posts filled with bots and manipulated content.Vitalik called for the adoption of decentralized, verifiable technologies and zero-knowledge proofs to protect personal data, and suggested that businesses avoid collecting unnecessary information.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng responded for the first time to the incident of approximately $6.3 billion being stolen from Binance during an interview with Talking Tokens, stating that all hacking attacks are preventable and that a long period without security incidents can lead to complacency in enterprises.He pointed out that the frequency of hacking attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges has risen from about once a month to almost once a week, with AI accelerating the development of attack capabilities, while the industry's defensive capabilities have not kept pace. He called for the cryptocurrency industry to form a security alliance to share best security practices, conduct cross-audits, and achieve rapid coordination in freezing stolen funds, expressing hope to promote the establishment of this alliance.Regarding government cooperation, Zhao Changpeng stated that there has been no communication with Trump or Washington regarding this incident, but he hopes to receive assistance from the U.S. government. He also mentioned that when it comes to communication with North Korea, perhaps only the U.S. and China have the necessary conditions. Speaking about market reactions,Zhao Changpeng noted that on the day Binance was attacked, the decline in the cryptocurrency market was less than that of tech stocks, a situation that is almost unheard of. He believes this is due to Binance's prompt confirmation of user fund security and its ability to provide full compensation.He also revealed that less than 10% of the stolen funds flowed to other centralized exchanges; recently, some hardware wallets have also been attacked, and some users have returned their funds to Binance after comparing the security situations of different platforms. Binance switched from net outflow to net inflow within less than 24 hours based on hourly statistics.Regarding the future of the industry, Zhao Changpeng believes that AI will enhance the security of the cryptocurrency industry and software systems in the medium to long term, and may even detect vulnerabilities in blockchain software before quantum computing can crack the existing encryption systems. At the same time, AI will drive trading speeds far beyond current levels, and blockchain may become the only financial technology capable of supporting such trading speeds. He also reminded retail investors to strengthen the use of asset protection tools and to continuously pay attention to industry security dynamics.

According to a report by Reuters, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung mentioned the recent theft of billions of dollars in cryptocurrency assets from Binance during a State Council meeting on November 3, calling for the establishment of a strong intergovernmental cybersecurity coordination agency to oversee security measures in both the public and private sectors.Lee Jae-myung stated that as AI drives increasingly complex hacking techniques, the existing security system, which primarily focuses on post-incident checks and responses, has shown significant limitations, and a proactive prevention mechanism must be established. The National Intelligence Service of South Korea has currently launched emergency security checks on over 2,100 central and local government departments and public institutions. Previously, the FBI in the United States attributed the Binance theft incident to North Korean hackers, but North Korea has denied involvement.
