China AI Models 'World Class': Nvidia CEO, Could France Axe Two Holidays? | Bloomberg The Pulse 7/16
China’s open-source AI is a catalyst for global progress and that Chinese AI models are “world-class”, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang said in a speech at the China International Supply Chain Expo’s opening ceremony. Huang has also said he expects to get the first batch of US export licenses soon, so Nvidia can resume shipments of its H20 AI chips to China, while underlining the importance of US access to the Chinese market. In France, Prime Minister Francois Bayrou proposed scrapping two national holidays, part of a drastic effort to repair public finances that’s set to unleash a parliamentary backlash in the fall. The premier put forward the plans as he unveiled an array of measures amounting to €43.8 billion ($50.9 billion) to pare back the largest deficit in the euro area. Other moves include a new tax on the highest earners, a freeze in pension and welfare payments at 2025 levels, and possible sales of the state’s stakes in companies. Bayrou said the country is addicted to public spending and in “mortal danger,” with debt increasing by €5,000 every second and interest costs on track to hit €100 billion per year in 2029 if nothing is done.
