   Nvidia succession remains uncertain as Jensen Huang's status stays unresolved

   IT之家 reported that Nvidia appeared to have no clear succession plan while Jensen Huang’s position remained unresolved. Kalshi assigned Huang a 30% probability of remaining CEO for that week, a prediction-market estimate rather than confirmation. Commentary cited by the report identified Lisa Su, Eric Schmidt, Lip-Bu Tan, Bret Taylor, Ian Buck and Colette Kress as possible candidates; no successor had been officially selected. Huang acknowledged an extramarital affair, but the identity of the other person remained unclear, and a New York Times allegation involving Kimberly Powell was not independently confirmed in the supplied report.

   Schmidt and Co-Authors Argue US and China Have Split Control of the AI Market

   Niall Ferguson, Lisa Klaassen, and Eric Schmidt argue in a Foreign Affairs essay that the US and China now control AI infrastructure and markets because scaling requires capital, energy, minerals, and advanced chips unavailable to other countries at scale. They contrast Washington's closed systems and political alignment with China's open-weight strategy, while warning that heavy investment and rising interest costs are pressuring both sides. The authors also identify a potential Taiwan conflict and disruption to TSMC as the largest threat to the AI supply chain.

   Bloomberg: Eric Schmidt owns about 1% of Anthropic ahead of expected IPO

   Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that former Google CEO Eric Schmidt owns roughly 1% of Anthropic, stemming from tens of millions of dollars he invested in the startup's 2021 Series A round, when PitchBook data put its valuation at $461 million. Investors have discussed an Anthropic IPO valuation of $1.8 trillion to $2 trillion, and Reuters reported some investors are now pushing for around $1.5 trillion after weaker third-quarter results. Anthropic could begin marketing shares as early as the week of November 9, with trading possibly before US Thanksgiving, though the timing and final valuation are unconfirmed; it is unclear whether Schmidt has sold any shares since his investment.
