Trump will host Xi Jinping in Washington for trade and AI talks

Trump will host Xi Jinping in Washington for trade and AI talks, possibly easing tariffs on some nonstrategic goods.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged the industry to slow AI development, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman agreed.

Microsoft used AI agents to port Copilot from TypeScript to Rust, costing about $120K in tokens and achieving a 15.9x speedup.

Anthropic reportedly delayed its IPO to November 2026 to present strong Q3 results, with investors expecting a valuation of about $2T.

The schedule includes a welcome ceremony, a state dinner with tech CEOs, and closed-door meetings; the two sides may ease tariffs on some nonstrategic goods, though U.S. export controls tied to national security are unlikely to loosen.
