Politico: OpenAI has gone from asking the White House in March 2025 to keep China under strict export controls and widen the list of restricted chips to staying silent as Congress prepares new limits.
Nvidia, which is lobbying against the restrictions, is also OpenAI’s chip supplier, a 105B for the first phase of an Ohio data center OpenAI will lease.
Anthropic has taken the opposite position, backing several of the chip bills and leaving a major tech trade association in September over its push to reshape them.
