    Jensen Huang says Nvidia is pulling back from OpenAI and Anthropic, but his explanation raises more questions than it answers

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated at the Morgan Stanley TMT conference that his company's investments in OpenAI and Anthropic will likely be its last, citing IPO windows closing as the reason. However, the explanation is questioned given several complicating factors: circular investment logic (Nvidia investing in companies that buy its chips), Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's public criticism of Nvidia's chip export practices, the Trump administration blacklisting Anthropic from federal use, and OpenAI's subsequent Pentagon deal. Nvidia's original $100 billion OpenAI pledge was ultimately reduced to $30 billion. The piece suggests Nvidia may be quietly exiting a politically and commercially entangled situation rather than simply following investment strategy.

    gpt-5.4 is really, really good

    GPT-5.4 (released as '5.4 Thinking') is reviewed after a week of hands-on use. Key highlights: 1M token context window, improved reasoning token efficiency, better mid-task steering, and significantly improved browser/computer use and vision capabilities. The model is praised as the best general-purpose AI for coding tasks, with Cursor internally endorsing it. However, it still lags behind Claude Opus and Gemini for front-end UI design. A notable security regression exists: prompt injection via function call return data succeeds ~2% of the time. GPT-5.4 Pro is expensive ($30/$180 per million tokens in/out) and often underperforms standard 5.4. The Codex model line appears to be discontinued in favor of 5.4 as the unified base. Prompting guidance from OpenAI is highlighted as more important than ever given the model's high steerability.

    LiteLLM Gateway now supported on Vercel

    LiteLLM Gateway can now be deployed on Vercel, providing developers with an OpenAI-compatible interface to route LLM requests to any supported provider, including Vercel AI Gateway. A basic setup involves a Python entry point and a YAML config file to define model routing. A code snippet shows how to route a model through Vercel AI Gateway using the litellm_config.yaml file.

    The AI Bubble Is An Information War

    A detailed critical analysis arguing that the AI industry is engaged in an information war, with OpenAI and Anthropic systematically misleading investors and the public through inconsistent financial projections and selective media leaks. The piece dissects CoreWeave's deteriorating unit economics, challenges OpenAI's reported $13.1bn revenue and $8bn loss figures using napkin math that suggests far larger losses, and debunks common pro-AI-boom talking points (the Amazon comparison, user counts, Claude Code revenues). It also covers Anthropic's military contract dispute with the Pentagon over Claude's use in the Iran conflict, arguing Anthropic's 'safety' stance is largely performative since it supports all other military uses. Sam Altman's subsequent Pentagon deal with 'all lawful use' language is criticized as enabling mass surveillance under legal cover.

    Sam Altman Compares Training AI To Raising Kids

    Sam Altman argues that comparing AI training energy costs to human inference is unfair. He contends the fair comparison is inference-time energy per query, where AI has already matched or surpassed human efficiency — since humans require 20 years of development, food, and the accumulated knowledge of 100 billion people before becoming productive. The take is noted as dystopian by the commentator sharing it.

    The Beginning Of History

    Ed Zitron argues that the AI bubble is entering a severe crisis driven by multiple converging pressures: Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz causing oil and gas price spikes (natural gas up 50%), which will raise data center operating costs, increase inflation, and potentially force interest rate hikes that make the debt-fueled AI infrastructure buildout far more expensive. He also presents detailed analysis of Anthropic's financials, showing that a CFO affidavit filed in a DoD lawsuit reveals Anthropic's lifetime revenue 'to date' is only $5 billion — contradicting widely-reported annualized revenue figures that implied $4.5 billion in 2025 alone. Zitron concludes with a broader critique of how media, investors, and analysts rely on historical analogies to justify the AI bubble rather than critically evaluating present realities, arguing this era is fundamentally different from past tech cycles.

    Python Gains frozendict and Other Python News for March 2026 – Real Python

    Python news roundup for February/March 2026 covers PEP 814 acceptance bringing frozendict as a built-in immutable hashable dictionary type in Python 3.15, along with Python 3.15.0a6 features including comprehension unpacking (PEP 798), a new statistical profiler (PEP 799), and UTF-8 as default encoding (PEP 686). The subprocess module gets a 15-year-old polling fix using event-driven OS mechanisms, dropping context switches from 258 to 2. Django shipped three high-severity SQL injection patches across versions 4.2, 5.2, and 6.0. uv 0.10.0 landed with breaking changes including new python upgrade commands. On the AI SDK front, OpenAI added WebSocket transport to the Responses API and announced the Assistants API sunset, while Anthropic made structured outputs GA and added MCP helpers. vLLM 0.16.0 introduced a self-hosted Realtime API with 30.8% throughput improvement.
