    2 weeks ago | theregister.com | Tobias Mann

    Nvidia may have been served a particularly delicious digestif after dropping a million bucks for dinner at President Trump’s Florida home Mar-a-Lago: A reprieve on restrictions of its AI chips to China. According to NPR, not long after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang showed up at the seven-figure soiree last week, the Trump administration quietly shelved a plan to tighten restrictions on the sale of Nv's H20 GPUs to the Middle Kingdom.

The LLM was uploaded to LMArena, a popular site that pits models against each other. It's admittedly more a popularity contest than a benchmark, as you can select two submitted models to compete head-to-head, give the pair an input prompt to each answer, and vote on the best output.
