Background & analysis
According to a report by The Information, Nvidia has been leveraging soft power to influence its customers and shape US chip policy. Sources cited in the article say that OpenAI took no public stance on China chip exports because it wanted to avoid angering Nvidia. The report notes that last month Noam Brown, a senior research scientist at OpenAI, posted a link to a news story in a company Slack channel. That is the extent of the details disclosed so far: there is no information on whether OpenAI responded afterward or on what position it ultimately took on China chip exports.
