OpenAI Launches ‘Deep Research’ for ChatGPT Amid DeepSeek Buzz

OpenAI Unveils 'Deep Research' Tool Amid Rising AI Competition On Monday, US tech company OpenAI introduced a new ChatGPT tool called "Deep Research" just before key meetings in Tokyo.

U.S. Lawmakers Push to Curb Nvidia Chip Exports to China

U.S. lawmakers want stricter export controls on Nvidia chips after learning that Chinese AI company DeepSeek used them. They are urging restrictions on Nvidia's H20 chip and similar ones, as well as tighter rules on shipments to Singapore to prevent unauthorized transfers. The concern arose after DeepSeek revealed its AI model R1, which it claims was built using less powerful chips at a lower cost than U.S. models. This raised alarms, as the U.S. had already placed export restrictions to stop China from advancing its military and surveillance AI. Nvidia says it follows all government rules and that its chips meet the limits set by U.S. regulators. However, lawmakers argue that export controls need to be updated more often to prevent China from finding loopholes. They also want the go...

Microsoft Launches Unified .NET API for AI and .NET 9 RC

Microsoft's has introduced a preview of an AI extension library aimed at creating a unified API for AI programming in C#. Additionally, it has released a .NET 9.0 release candidate with a go-live license, ahead of its general availability in November. The Microsoft.Extensions.AI library is designed as "a unified layer of C# abstractions for interacting with AI services." The goal is for developers of AI libraries, such as those for specific service providers, to implement these abstractions so that developers can interact with different AI services through a standard API. Microsoft notes that service-specific APIs can still be used where necessary, allowing developers to "pass through to proprietary APIs only when required." This approach is somewhat analogous to database interfaces ...
