Welcome back, Superhuman. Having an affair is bad. Having an affair with someone who might be a foreign spy is worse. That sounds like the plot of a James Bond movie, but it’s playing out in real life — starring Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Full story below.

Join the waitlist.
2. Thinking Machines debuts its second-generation AI model: Inkling 2 Small excels at long-running coding, research, and office work, but its standout skill is vision. The lab claims Inkling 2 Small beat its own researchers at a blind wine tasting competition by correctly identifying three wines from a photo 19 out of 20 times. Inkling 2 Small is set to debut as the top open weight model on DesignArena’s website leaderboard and is live now on Thinking Machines’ Tinker, with full weights expected next week.
3. Apple reportedly wants to turn Siri into an agent as soon as next year: Apple CEO John Ternus is pushing software chief Craig Federighi to accelerate Apple’s software roadmap beyond incremental improvements, per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The goal: redesign Siri as an autonomous agent that can compete more closely with Meta Muse, OpenAI Dots, and Claude Duet. Gurman says the update could land as soon as next year, but Apple hasn’t committed to a timeline.

FROM THE FRONTIER
An affair with a spy? Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing serious allegations that could bring him in front of Congress
Watch a 3-minute clip from NewsNation describing the situation. Image source: NY Post.
🕵 OpenAI isn’t the only AI company dealing with corporate espionage. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair with a woman later purported to be a Chinese spy. The CEO confirmed the affair on Sunday after a bombshell report landed Friday, although he didn’t specify whether he knew of her alleged intelligence activity.
Why this matters: This isn’t your typical corporate scandal. AI has become a matter of national security, making Huang, whose company powers the brains behind top models, arguably the world’s most powerful CEO. Here’s what we know so far:
In late October, Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang (no relation) came under public scrutiny. US officials had reportedly been monitoring the situation for roughly a year.
On November 5th, House Republicans requested a formal briefing from Huang on his and Alice’s relationship.
On November 6th, the NYT and FT reported that US intelligence believes Alice Huang is a spy.
Who is Alice Huang? A former executive at the Singaporean data company Megaspeed, which has previously been accused of smuggling Nvidia chips into China in violation of US export controls.
For the record: The Chinese government has denied the allegations. Nvidia insists no sensitive information was shared but launched an independent investigation. As for Jensen? Congress has given him until this Wednesday to schedule a closed-door briefing.
