Anthropic shares AI‑slowdown metrics, Palantir urges regulation, Nvidia sees sales double

In the AI arena, Palantir CEO Alex Karp told CNBC that there should be "reasonable guidelines" and even suggested nationalizing AI firms because of "unlimited risks". Anthropic followed its CEO’s call for a slowdown by publishing three metrics it says can help companies monitor development speed. The House adjourned the AI‑regulation discussion until after the November midterm elections, effectively pausing legislative action, while a bipartisan Senate bill to cap utility price hikes for data centers hit a roadblock. Despite the regulatory chatter, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company expects its AI chip sales to double next year. Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft AI, is slated to discuss the issue on CNBC’s "Squawk Box".

Stocks rallied after a three‑day decline, aided by lower Treasury yields and oil prices that stayed above $100 a barrel. The broader market context underscores how AI policy and demand intersect with investor sentiment.
