According to a report by Bloomberg on September 4, the artificial intelligence company DeepSeek plans to deploy at least 160,000 top accelerators from Huawei Technologies Co. in a large data center being built in Inner Mongolia, potentially forming one of the largest known clusters of Huawei AI chips and advancing China's efforts to replace Nvidia.DeepSeek intends to use Huawei's next-generation Ascend 950DT chips to run its models, with the installation timeline depending on Huawei's production capacity. Sources say that the company currently does not plan to use the 950DT chips for training, although Huawei has designed and marketed these processors for more demanding training functions. DeepSeek had previously attempted to train models using Huawei chips but has so far relied on Nvidia accelerators to complete this critical step.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed concerns about the plan to establish a national AI regulatory agency during a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump last month. The proposal, advocated by Google DeepMind scientist Demis Hassabis and supported by some White House officials, aims to create an independent organization similar to FINRA to review and test potential risks before the broader deployment of advanced AI models. White House officials previewed the proposal to Trump and major tech companies, including Meta, in mid-August.Trump spoke with Zuckerberg during the week of August 17. According to senior White House officials familiar with the conversation, Zuckerberg opposed the proposal. Another informed source indicated that Zuckerberg did not ask Trump to change his position but told him that the personnel of the regulatory agency the White House might appoint should reflect Trump's light-touch approach to AI, noting that Trump made the call first. The conversation did not kill the idea, which is still under consideration. A Meta spokesperson declined to comment. A White House spokesperson stated that the Trump administration is committed to balancing innovation and safety in AI policymaking.In an article in August, Zuckerberg expressed skepticism about strict government regulation of new AI models, arguing that any policy that delays the release of models by even a month would pose significant risks to the U.S. leadership position relative to China. The government is considering a FINRA-like regulatory agency or a voluntary industry organization similar to the Motion Picture Association of America. Trump's former AI and crypto czar, David Sachs, opposed government regulatory agencies, calling them "the DMV of AI." Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark expressed support for the FINRA-like idea in a post in July.

According to a report by Reuters, Apple Inc. is facing a class-action lawsuit in London, with claims amounting to £2 billion (approximately $2.7 billion). The lawsuit was filed today in the London Competition Appeal Tribunal by Ann Pope, a former senior official of the UK's Competition and Markets Authority, representing app developers.The core allegation is that Apple's "App Tracking Transparency" (ATT) feature, launched in 2021, imposes stricter restrictions on third-party developers than on its own services, giving Apple's own advertising ecosystem an unfair competitive advantage. Ann Pope stated that Apple's policies "have caused very significant harm to businesses that rely on Apple as a gatekeeper."Since its launch, the ATT feature has been a focal point of concern for global regulators for several years. Apple's official stance is that the feature is designed to allow users to control whether to permit apps to track their activities across other companies and websites.However, the plaintiffs argue that the actual enforcement of this rule has a double standard—tracking requests from third-party apps require strict pop-up authorization, while Apple's own personalized ads and services can bypass the same restrictions. This lawsuit represents the latest legal challenge Apple faces regarding its ATT policy and is the first large-scale private antitrust lawsuit initiated in the UK market against Apple's app ecosystem rules following scrutiny from regulators in the EU, the US, and several other countries.

According to CryptoSlate, the Ethereum Layer 2 network Silicon announced that it has stopped accepting new bridging deposits as of September 2 and has initiated the shutdown process. Users must withdraw all assets by December 31, at which point the network and block explorer will go offline, and remaining assets will be unrecoverable.There are still approximately $9.75 million in assets on-chain, including USDC ($2.66 million), WBTC ($2.54 million), ETH ($2.08 million), and USDT ($1.85 million). Assets bridged from the Ethereum mainnet can be directly withdrawn during the window period, but tokens issued directly on Silicon cannot be bridged directly and can only rely on the remaining on-chain liquidity for exchange, which may become increasingly difficult as the shutdown progresses. Silicon's Web3 wallet will also be disabled.

The US spot XRP ETF has recorded net inflows for 11 consecutive trading days, attracting approximately $170 million in funds during this period. Since its launch in November last year, the cumulative net inflow of these funds has reached about $1.68 billion. As of Wednesday morning, the trading price of XRP was around $1.33, down from about $1.45 on August 27, but still higher than the $1 level in mid-August.According to the disclosures in the 13F filings, Goldman Sachs is the largest institutional holder of the XRP ETF, holding approximately $87.4 million, while Jane Street and Millennium Management hold $16.6 million and $16.2 million, respectively. Investment advisors are the largest category of holders, accounting for about $120 million of the disclosed $183 million, while hedge funds hold about $25 million, and brokers and banks hold approximately $17 million and $14 million, respectively.However, institutional holdings and fund inflows measure different dimensions: the 13F filings reflect the holdings as of June 30, while the continuous inflows record new funds from the end of August to early September. These data only reflect the total holdings of the ETF and not the complete exposure of investors to XRP; institutions like Goldman Sachs may hedge part of the price risk through futures or other instruments. The next round of 13F filings will be released in November.

OpenAI stated that the lawsuit is baseless and aims to hinder its recruitment of new employees, ultimately delaying its efforts to develop competitive technology.OpenAI claimed that many of the allegations stem from Apple's poor internal departure procedures, and the lawsuit is "the chaos caused by Apple itself." Previously, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had shared a table with Apple's then-CEO Tim Cook at a White House tech leaders dinner.

DeFiprime founder Nick Sawinyh analyzed that the Meme coin issuance platform on the Robinhood Chain is massively using tokenized stocks as paired assets. As of September 1, approximately 17.2% of the on-chain supply of 19 high liquidity Robinhood stock tokens is locked in 432 pools that use stock tokens as quoted assets, contributing 31.3% of the DEX trading volume of related stock tokens in the past 24 hours. The four issuance platforms Long, Bankr, Flap, and PAIR have set stock-paired Meme coins as default products.Among them, the AI/NVDA pool holds 8,783 NVDA (accounting for 16.2% of the total on-chain tokenized NVDA), with a 24-hour trading volume of about $6.2 million; the BONER/HIMS pool holds 37,172 HIMS (accounting for 50.4% of the total HIMS on the chain), with a trading volume of about $12.5 million. This mechanism has led to significant premiums for some tokenized stocks over the weekend (when issuers cannot issue more), with HIMS once trading at a premium of 112% compared to the NYSE closing price. The TVL of the Robinhood Chain has nearly doubled since August 1 to $740 million, with on-chain DEX daily trading volume reaching $1.49 billion on August 31. The analysis points out that 9 stock tokens have an on-chain circulating market value of less than $1.5 million, and a single Meme coin pool can absorb a large proportion of the circulating supply. This analysis is based on specific block snapshot data, with prices and pool balances changing rapidly.
