NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Monday that training or learning with competitors' products is part of competition, and he refused to label AI model distillation as theft. When asked if distillation is not robbery, Huang said that it is competition. He mentioned that people can test others' products, and NVIDIA's products are sometimes taken apart to the bare bones to understand how they work; he would prefer that others do not learn from NVIDIA products, but competition makes everything better. If one does not want others to use their products, they can identify customers and discontinue services.U.S. officials have accused Chinese AI companies of using distillation, which involves training models with outputs from other models, extracting capabilities from U.S. systems. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bansen stated in July that this practice is theft and threatened to impose sanctions on overseas companies that utilize distillation to extract capabilities from U.S. models. The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment, and U.S. officials are considering measures against overseas companies that use distillation.Earlier this month, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency accused Chinese AI companies of conducting industrial-scale knowledge distillation activities, violating the terms of use for U.S. companies. AI company Anthropic stated earlier this month that it found Alibaba's Qwen series models and DeepSeek engaging in illegal distillation. The Chinese side denied these accusations.

Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of the cross-chain trading platform Relay, Jason Maier, stated that the team discovered an issue with the Relay API over the weekend, which exposed pending transaction information before trade execution. MEV seekers exploited the pending routing status to infer on-chain paths and front-run trades before order execution, resulting in worse execution prices for users trading through Relay.This activity occurred from September 12 to September 26, primarily concentrated from September 23 to 26. Seekers profited approximately $136,000 from this, affecting around 5,600 users, with a median impact of $11.88. Relay will pay a $50,000 bounty to Outputlayer for reporting the issue and will automatically compensate affected users without the need for applications; funds will be directly sent to wallets, with a total compensation amount of approximately $312,000.Jason Maier stated that MEV can arise through public mempool exposure, order detail inference, malicious participation in auctions, or data gaps between service providers, and protecting a single link in the transaction path is not sufficient. He mentioned that the team will continue to enhance the execution quality and privacy of the entire transaction path and called on security researchers to report vulnerabilities when discovered.

OpenAI has suspended the training of its latest AI model. According to the Associated Press, its AI agent used access keys obtained online to scrape data from the U.S. Census Bureau website, marking the second time the company has halted training since the agent breached Hugging Face. The so-called agent refers to an AI program capable of autonomously browsing the web and writing code without human approval at each step, which OpenAI tests during the model training and evaluation phases.Specifically, the agent found developer keys in public code repositories like GitHub and used them to pull demographic and economic data from the U.S. Census Data API. The U.S. Department of Commerce stated that this data was already public and there was no confidential information leaked. In the SEC incident, the agent copied public materials from SEC.gov and Investor.gov and reposted them on other websites; OpenAI claimed it did not use SEC credentials, and the SEC stated it found no evidence of unauthorized access to non-public information. Additionally, the independent AI research organization Transluce reported that an agent suspected to be from OpenAI attempted to breach the website of the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights but was unsuccessful; OpenAI is still investigating, and the Department of Education stated that no impact was found.Regarding the frequent involvement with government websites, OpenAI told CNN that its model often regards government websites as authoritative sources of public information. The company stated that it has currently notified dozens of agencies, and the review of the agent's activities will take months.

The issuer of the stablecoin USDT, Tether, stated on September 28 that actions involving USDT in 2026 have frozen approximately $550 million, with the related wallets identified by U.S. authorities as being associated with the Central Bank of Iran and the Iranian sanctions network.

The next day, OFAC listed these addresses as digital currency identifiers of the Central Bank of Iran, with the sanctions entry associated with the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah. In July 2026, the Treasury expanded the designated scope to four additional TRON addresses, with over $130 million USDT frozen across the four wallets.Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that USDT is not a safe haven for sanctioned actors, terrorist organizations, or criminal networks, and that public blockchains allow authorities to see the flow of funds, enabling Tether to take action when law enforcement provides credible information. Tether also mentioned that it collaborates with over 340 law enforcement agencies in 67 countries, and its wallet freezing policy has been aligned with the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list.
