3. Elon Musk to Attend AI Safety Summit

1. Biden Executive Order on AI
On Monday, the White House released the much anticipated Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence. Among other actions, the EO orders advanced models to share information from their testing and red teaming. As one might imagine, reactions to the EO are pretty diverse.
full executive order finally posted, so the reporting requirement you're all interested in:

or
- any cluster with 10^20 FLOPs, which is around 50,000 H100s, which only two companies currently have twitter.com/i/web/status/1…— near (@nearcyan)
