The U.S. food and Drug Administration has cleared Neuralink rival Precision Neuroscience to offer a less invasive brain implant. Quoting Bloomberg, one of the co founders of Elon Musk's Neuralink Corp. Is building a different kind of brain implant. That device, made by the startup Precision Neuroscience Corp. Went in 63 year old Tim Fisher earlier this month. In an operating room in Philadelphia, a surgeon placed a sliver of film, thinner than a human hair and embedded with over 1,000 electrodes on Fisher's brain. After a little training, when Fisher moved his left hand, so did a nearby robotic appendage guided by signals from his brain and the new brain patch. It was an amazing experience, said Fisher, a retail worker who lives in Westchester, Pennsylvania and has Parkinson's disease. He said he's drawn to these kinds of implants because his tremors make everyday tasks like typing or opening a jar near impost. The brain device that Fisher used was cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration late last month for limited uses, bringing Precision one step closer to a commercially available technology that one day might allow people to control computers or other devices with just their thoughts. That could help people with paralysis electronically communicate with others, use computer software and get a job. The device is already being used to help doctors map brain activity in more detail to plan procedures, and could also enable researchers to study the brain more closely and accurately. Precision was started in 2021 by Michael Mag and Benjamin Rapoport, a brain surgeon who previously helped co found neuralink. In contrast with some other experimental systems like neuralinks, which stick into the brain tissue, Precision's strip is designed to sit on top, Rapoport said. The idea is to build something that can be inserted and removed without leaving a trace on the brain. Fischer's patch, for instance, was only in place temporarily during the procedure. Around the size of a US postage stamp, the Precision device contains 1,024 tiny metal electrodes that are each a fraction of a millimeter in diameter. It's been studied, and at least 37 patients across five medical centers and about 1/3 of US medical centers that do major brain surgeries have expressed interest in it, according to the company. We've been amazed by the demand for it, rappaport said. The strip was greenlit by the FDA to record, monitor and stimulate brain activity and can be used for less than 30 days. The regulator cleared the device based on a submission that included testing, but not the human studies. At least One other company, BlackRock Neurotech, has received a similar clearance for its Neuroport array device. I know, I know, I promise not to do this, but tech stocks were down significantly yesterday. What's worrying people now? Well, that's what I want to talk about. It's about that wrinkle around chips and tariffs and export controls, but also specifically about Nvidia. All the big chip players AMD, Nvidia and ASML were down 7% yesterday and and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang apparently arrived in China yesterday and visited Beijing today, a source says, to meet officials to discuss Trump's new chip export rules, quoting the ft, according to two people familiar with his travel schedule. Huang met Nvidia clients, including the founder of generative artificial intelligence startup Deepseek, to discuss new chip designs for Chinese customers. He then held separate talks with Chinese Premier He Laifeng, according to one person familiar with the meeting. Huang said China was a very important market for Nvidia and expressed hope that his company could continue cooperating with the country, according to state broadcaster CCTV. On Tuesday, Nvidia said it expected a $5.5 billion hit to earnings from new U.S. export restrictions on its H20 chip, a lower powered model that had already been designed to comply with Joe Biden era controls limiting exports to China. Huang's talks indicate that Nvidia is not willing to give up on the Chinese market and is considering designing yet another chip for it, even though its previous efforts have been banned by WAS Washington. Plans for the Nvidia chief's visit to Beijing were finalized after US President Donald Trump's unexpected move to ban the H20 chip. Nvidia reported $17 billion in sales from China last year, but faced growing threats to its business from Beijing even before Trump interceded. In a separate Financial Times piece, they report that Nvidia is hustling now because they were actually caught flat footed after a meeting with Trump at his Florida residence at Mar? A Lago earlier this month. Nvidia executives were left with the impression they could escape tougher enforcement of any curbs, the people said, adding the company's plan to invest $500 billion in the US had also impressed the president. This led Nvidia to tell Chinese clients, including tech giants Alibaba, ByteDance and Tencent, that orders of H20s would not be affected, the people said. Nvidia was then blindsided as Trump decided to clamp down on the export of H20, a product that Chinese tech groups have relied upon their efforts to challenge their global peers to develop large language models. Frustrated Chinese tech companies have complained about not having enough warning about such a major policy change, but are understanding that the shift is beyond the control of Nvidia, according to the people with knowledge of recent discussions. AI demand jumped in China after Deepseek's successful launch of its low Cost Reasoning model led local companies to put almost $17 billion in orders for H20 chips this year, according to one of the people. While Nvidia Nvidia typically takes more than six months to deliver such chips, most of this year's orders from its Chinese clients are yet to be filled and will probably be affected by the latest U.S. restrictions. The $5.5 billion hit to earnings Nvidia announced are mostly the cost of materials to be used to produce such orders, and related penalties and operational costs for not delivering. Based on agreed terms, the actual affected revenue from China could be more than $10 billion, the person estimated. China's tech giants are racing to find a replacement to the H20, while Trump's new export controls could significant the sales of domestic manufacturers led by Huawei, which has been pushing to produce more AI processors. It also remains unclear how Chinese groups can apply for a license to obtain H20s and on what basis they would be issued. Intel told its Chinese clients last week that chips would require a license for exporting to China if they have a total DRAM bandwidth of 1400 gigabytes per second or more, I O bandwidth of 1100 gigabytes per second or more, or a total of both of 1700 gigabytes per second or more, according to a company email. Intel's Gaudi series as well as Nvidia's H20 far exceed these requirements. So yeah, sounds like Jensen is on a code Red mission. As soon as I hit publish on this, we are going to take a tour of the Stanley Hotel, which is what the hotel and the Shining is based on. Apparently Stephen King came here in the 70s right when the Stanley was shutting down for the season and boom, inspiration for the Shining after he visited the hotel bar and met with the bartender whose name, coincidentally, was Lloyd. Talk to you tomorrow.
