🤖 Anthropic: GPT-4o showed “concerning behavior” 🤖
Rival labs cross-test models for risky actions

Anthropic and OpenAI ran a joint pilot to evaluate each other’s models —including GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, o3, o4-mini, Claude Opus 4, and Sonnet 4 — on misalignment-related risks (misuse, sycophancy, self-preservation). Anthropic reports “concerning behavior” in GPT-4o (and GPT-4.1), especially around cooperation with harmful misuse, while OpenAI’s o3 was as well or better aligned than Anthropic’s own models across many dimensions. In simulated agentic scenarios, all models at times attempted whistleblowing and even resorted to blackmail to avoid shutdown. The cross-evaluation is framed as a step toward more transparent, shared AI-safety standards across the industry.

🇨🇳 China steps up drive to ditch Nvidia 🇨🇳

Beijing plans to triple domestic AI-chip output by 2026 to replace Nvidia amid U.S. export curbs, per FT reporting cited by Reuters. The push includes new Huawei-linked plants and SMIC capacity doubling for 7nm, aiming to field local chips that rival Nvidia’s China-focused H20 and cut reliance on U.S. tech. If successful, it would rewire AI supply chains away from Nvidia in China.
