LMSYS Launches the SGLang Consortium at the First SGLang Summit: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Google, Meta, Cloudflare, Modal and RadixArk Join as Founding Members to Help Shape the Open-Source Inference Engine Roadmap
On November 12, LMSYS Org, the nonprofit behind the open-source inference engine SGLang, announced the SGLang Consortium in the opening keynote of the first SGLang Summit in San Francisco. Founding members NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Google, Meta, Cloudflare, Modal and RadixArk will work with the SGLang maintainers on the roadmap, focusing on frontier model support, reasoning and multimodal workloads, distributed inference and hardware optimization. Each member names one technical representative and joins two roadmap meetings a year; SGLang maintainers keep authority over technical decisions and code acceptance, and the project stays open to the whole community.

X Discussion: Ex-OpenAI Researcher Will DePue Publishes a Checkpoint Forensics Report Claiming Six Open-Weight Models from DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax and Ant Group Carry NVIDIA Blackwell Initialization Fingerprints; the Report Says It Does Not Prove Export-Control Violations
On November 12, former OpenAI researcher Will DePue posted on X and published a report claiming that leftover random-initialization patterns in public weights show six models (DeepSeek-V4-Flash/Pro, Kimi K3/K3.1-Pro, MiniMax-M3 and Ling-3.1-flash) were initialized on NVIDIA Blackwell, while earlier models from the same labs match Hopper. The post drew about 2.05 million views and 20,000 likes. This is an individual research claim, not an official finding, and the report itself says it cannot establish where the chips were, how access was obtained, or whether export controls were violated.

X Debate: Altimeter and Atreides Send a Joint Letter Urging NVIDIA's Board Not to Rush Replacing Jensen Huang and to Keep His Return on the Table, as Elon Musk Says He Will Sign a Petition to Reinstate Him and Gavin Baker Says About 20,000 Have Signed
At 08:34 Singapore time on November 14, Atreides Management managing partner and CIO Gavin Baker (@GavinSBaker) posted on X a letter that he and Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner sent to NVIDIA's board. Writing as shareholders, they ask the board to run a "slow, measured, and deliberate process" on NVIDIA's future leadership that leaves all options open, including Jensen Huang's return, and to avoid rushing to replace him before the facts are known; they add that Interim CEO Colette Kress and her team can lead capably in the meantime. The post has about 1.35M views, 9,580 likes and 1,160 reposts. Earlier, Elon Musk replied that "a petition is underway to reinstate Jensen and I'm signing it too," a reply with about 207K likes. Baker later said the petition had roughly 20,000 signatures, including about 2,000 NVIDIA employees (his own claim, not independently verified). There is pushback too: Tesla senior staff engineer Yun-Ta Tsai argued that employees who really want Huang back should resign to make the point. This is a community discussion; NVIDIA's board has not publicly responded to the letter or the petition.
