How Chinese AI Turned Silicon Valley Against Anthropic

Jensen Huang joined X and immediately rallied Silicon Valley around open-weight AI. First came a letter signed by 77 companies and industry leaders. Then came a security alliance with 37 members. Anthropic was absent from both. This was not a random disagreement. Kimi K3 had narrowed the gap with American frontier models, Anthropic had accused Moonshot AI of extracting 3.4 million Claude exchanges, Hugging Face had turned to an open-weight Chinese model during a security investigation, and Congress had proposed an AI kill switch. In this episode, we examine why Jensen and Anthropic represent two competing approaches to AI safety, what their companies gain from those positions, and who ultimately gets to control the model layer.
