Nvidia says China AI accelerator share has dropped to zero under export curbs

Nvidia says China AI accelerator share has dropped to zero under export curbs

Jensen Huang says Nvidia's direct AI accelerator share in China has fallen to zero after years of U.S. export controls. The H200 was supposed to reopen a narrow path, but licenses, Chinese import limits and Huawei's domestic-chip push have left shipments stuck. Chinese buyers are still building AI capacity through different suppliers. Now Commerce must tell Congress whether Washington still has leverage before the next U.S.-China talks.

Repo Radar: 5 GitHub Projects Worth Your Week

Repo Radar tracks rtk, GitNexus, memsearch, rlm, and Hugging Face ml-intern as builders push agents past chat into stateful work: a Rust proxy cutting LLM token consumption 60 to 90 percent, a browser knowledge graph for code, a Markdown and Milvus memory layer, a recursive language model inference library, and an open-source ML engineer that reads papers and ships models. Memory and inference cost shape this week.

Matt Pocock skills repo jumps past 45K stars with reusable AI instructions

Matt Pocock's Claude Code skills repo turned a private .claude folder into one of GitHub's fastest-rising AI coding artifacts this week. The live count has already outrun the 36K-star video that made it visible, and the repo's small markdown files show why developers are packaging agent behavior as shared process instead of one-off prompts. The deeper shift is not in the codebase, but in what teams now maintain beside it. That makes the count a surface signal.

HybridClaw Pitches German Agent Controls as Hermes Tops 120,000 Stars

HybridClaw is trying to turn the Hermes and OpenClaw agent wave into something companies can run without guessing what a bot just did. The German-built runtime has only a fraction of Hermes' GitHub attention, but its pitch is different: encrypted credentials, approvals, audit logs, migration paths and EU-hosted workflows for the dull work inside finance, support and BI teams. The open question is whether customer deployments prove the control story.

The Tools to Halve Your AI Bill Are Free. Nobody at the Company Owns Them.

A cold Claude Code session loses 50.6% of its context to overhead and reserve before you type. One flag halves daily spend. Claude burns 3-4x the tokens of Codex for a 1.4-point quality delta. Tools to cut AI costs are free and mature. Almost nobody installs them. Here is why.

Karpathy Killed His RAG Pipeline for a Folder of Markdown. Here's the Full Build Guide.

Karpathy's LLM Wiki thread drew 16M views. His Gist with zero code got 5,000 stars. The pattern, a hands-on tutorial, the ecosystem, and why the "idea file" may matter more than the wiki.

The Dashboard Is Losing the Account. Mercury Is Testing the Replacement

Mercury's CLI and read-only MCP server show where agentic banking is starting: reports, transaction cleanup, and finance workflows outside the dashboard, with Ramp and Slash pointing to the wider sector shift.

Mercury now lets customers work with accounts from a terminal while its MCP server gives AI tools read-only financial context. Ryan Wiggins, Mercury's VP of Product, says early users are building reports, burn-rate views and invoice flows before payments enter the picture. Ramp and Slash show the wider shift: banking is becoming a permissioned work surface for AI tools.
