OpenAI reportedly stops pressing for tougher AI chip export limits on China

POLITICO reports that Capitol Hill aides and lobbyists say OpenAI has stopped pressing for tighter U.S. chip export controls on China, after advocating strict controls in 2025. Lawmakers are considering new limits for a defense bill in the upcoming lame-duck session, and aides worry OpenAI’s silence could help Nvidia oppose them. An OpenAI spokesperson said effective export controls remain part of its broader strategy.
