Report: Anthropic pushing governments to require firmware locks blocking unapproved models on Western GPUs
rickasaurus · x · 2026-11-10
Unverified report from @TheDailyMao: Anthropic plans to push governments to mandate firmware-level locks on Western GPUs that prevent 'unapproved' (Chinese open-source) models from running, in the name of 'AI safety' and 'national security'.
The post claims AMD and Google are on board, with only Jensen opposed. Single-source and unconfirmed, but if true it would directly affect open-source model deployment and GPU usage rights — worth tracking.
