Huang backs Trump on AI race

🚨 Our Report

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a live phone call from President Donald Trump during the All-In Summit on Monday, with both publicly dismissing Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's recent call to slow AI development as a threat to American competitiveness.

🔓 Key Points

• Trump called concerns about AI development pace "a hoax," claiming slowdown advocates are "playing right into the hands of China" and political opponents who want to stifle US progress.

• Huang agreed with Trump on speaker to a live audience, stating "We're not going to let that happen, sir" as the crowd applauded, distancing himself from Amodei, Musk, and Altman's safety-first position.

• The call came as Gallup polling shows seven in 10 Americans oppose data center construction in their area, with environmental concerns cited by more than 50% of respondents.

🔐 Relevance

The public alignment between Nvidia's CEO and the White House signals that the administration will continue prioritizing AI infrastructure expansion over safety concerns. For enterprise leaders, this means regulatory tailwinds for AI deployment are likely to continue, but public opposition to data center projects could still create local friction. Companies planning infrastructure investments should factor in growing community resistance alongside supportive federal policy.

Crocs India (global footwear brand, India division) hit a growth ceiling running generic campaigns that drove volume but not precision.

Steal this: Pull your last three campaigns. Segment by purchase history and engagement score. Compare conversion rates between your highest-intent 20% and the full list. If the gap is 3X or more, you're wasting budget on low-probability targets. Start there before adding AI.

Microsoft releases an AI code of conduct that bans hacking, deepfakes, and evasion of human control

The document establishes "absolute constraints" forbidding cyberattacks, nuclear weapons assistance, and deepfake production. It also prohibits models from using deceptive or self-reinforcing mechanisms to evade oversight or resist shutdown by authorized personnel.

The release follows a string of rogue-agent incidents and an Anthropic researcher's resignation over extinction risks. Microsoft joins Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI in supporting embedded evaluators at AI labs and deliberate pacing of frontier development.

Why it matters: As models grow more capable, explicit behavioral constraints become the last line of defense. Microsoft's framework offers a template for how labs translate abstract safety principles into enforceable training objectives.

THE MONEY

Two of the week's largest AI rounds bypassed model development entirely. Capital flowed to the plumbing beneath autonomous systems: reliable execution layers and ultra-efficient compute. As enterprises move agents from demos to production, investors are betting the bottleneck shifts from intelligence to infrastructure that actually works at scale.

Deals to know:

• Temporal (Series E, $550M at $12.55B valuation) -- Open-source durable execution platform powering AI agents at OpenAI, NVIDIA, Netflix, and JPMorgan Chase. 1.9T+ actions processed in August, 200%+ YoY revenue growth. Investors: Lightspeed, Wellington Management, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Tiger Global, T. Rowe Price, a16z, Sequoia

• EUCLYD (Series A, €200M+) -- European semiconductor systems company building ultra-efficient AI inference hardware. Former ASML CEO Peter Wennink joins as Chairman. Investors: Samsung, Somerset Capital Partners, EQT Scaleup Europe Fund, Innovation Industries, EIFO

Signal: Smart money sees agentic AI's next constraint isn't model capability. It's execution reliability and inference economics. The platforms solving those problems are commanding late-stage valuations at seed-stage revenue multiples.
