Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced his resignation, while an unnamed person familiar with the matter told CNBC that the board had decided to oust him the night before. The excerpt gives no date for the resignation and no public evidence that one of Huang’s alleged mistresses was a Chinese spy.
Under Huang, Nvidia backed open-source AI models and warned in September that others were lobbying for restrictions on them. Most models described as “open-weight” release trained weights but not all training data and code. The article compares the dispute with prosecutions of crypto software developers: the U.S. Justice Department says prosecutors will no longer approve certain charges against developers of decentralized, non-custodial software, but that policy is not binding and does not exclude money laundering or sanctions cases. Huang’s expected congressional testimony and Roman Storm’s April 2027 retrial are future events, not outcomes.
