The sentiment was further bolstered by the prospect of a meeting between President Xi Jinping and former U.S. President Donald Trump, which could potentially ease trade tensions.<\/p>\n<p>China&#39;s Science and Technology Minister detailed ambitious plans to accelerate AI development, focusing on achieving breakthroughs and enhancing top-level design initiatives. The nation intends to concentrate top-tier resources on <strong>AI chip development<\/strong> and reinforce <strong>AI governance<\/strong>, aiming to position AI as an <em>international public good<\/em>. This strategic push underscores China&#39;s efforts to reduce dependence on foreign technology amidst global tech competition.<\/p>\n<p>In a significant development for the global AI landscape, <strong>Anthropic<\/strong>, the company behind the Claude chatbot, is reportedly in talks with <strong>Google Cloud<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/GOOGL\">GOOGL<\/a>, <a href=\"\/stock\/GOOG\">GOOG<\/a>) for a massive deal worth <em>tens of billions of dollars<\/em>. This agreement would secure <strong>Anthropic<\/strong> access to <strong>1 million Google Cloud chips<\/strong> to train and run its advanced AI models, highlighting the immense computational demands of cutting-edge AI. The deal underscores the intense competition and escalating costs within the AI industry, where access to computing infrastructure is a critical differentiator.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the <strong>U.S. Dollar<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/currency\/USD\">USD<\/a>) gained strength against the <strong>Japanese Yen<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/currency\/JPY\">JPY<\/a>), trading near <strong>\u00a5152.50<\/strong>.
