Episode notes

When NVIDIA reported earnings last quarter, its data center revenue beat expectations by over a billion dollars. But beneath that headline was a quieter story: the company's geographic revenue mix is shifting fast, with China-destined chips falling to a single-digit percentage of total sales. This episode unpacks why AI model exports - not just chips - are becoming the next regulatory battleground. Lucas and Luna examine the White House's forthcoming executive order on "frontier model" export controls, the growing tension between open-weight releases and national security reviews, and what it means for companies like Meta and Mistral that distribute their models globally. With reference to the recent Hugging Face security incident linked to an OpenAI employee's mistake, they explore how the definition of "export" itself is being rewritten for the AI era. If you've heard the term "model weights" but weren't sure why governments care, this episode explains it.
