US Lawmakers Open Probe Into Chinese AI Models

By

-- U.S. lawmakers are conducting an investigation into companies' usage of Chinese artificial intelligence models due to national security concerns.

Through letters, the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party requested Airbnb and Anysphere on Wednesday for information that may assist them in the probe.

The requested information included documents that can identify the Chinese AI models used by the companies.

The probe came after AI laboratories found that three Chinese AI companies, DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and MiniMax were able to extract information through adversarial distillation where the platforms were able to generate exchanges with American AI systems through about 24,000 fraudulent accounts, the committees said.

Research Alert: Xpo Q1 Earnings Beat As Margins Expand And Tonnage Turns Positive

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:XPO reported Q1 EPS of $1.01 vs. $0.73 a year ago, beating consensus by $0.13, while revenue of $2.1B grew 7% and beat estimates by $60M. Adjusted EBITDA surged 15% to $319M, demonstrating accelerating momentum across the business. We believe the combination of margin expansion, positive volume inflection, and strong cash generation supports XPO's trajectory toward accelerating free cash flow generation. North American LTL performance was solid, with adjusted operating ratio improving 200 bps to 83.9% and 20% growth in adjusted operating income. Critically, tonnage per day turned positive at +0.1% vs. Q4 2025's -4.5% decline, marking an inflection point and suggesting early demand stabilization signs. Yield growth excluding fuel remained robust at 4.0%, supported by service improvements and AI-driven network optimization, while cash from operations grew 29% to $183M. In our view, XPO's insourcing strategy and operational leverage position the company well for continued margin expansion and cash flow growth.
