CEO of Chinese Anthropic rival tells Elon Musk that China will have a Fable 5-class AI model before next year β€” it β€˜won’t take that long’ says Jie Tang in response to Musk's prediction of a Q1 target

Elon Musk estimated that Chinese AI firms would have an LLM with Mythos level capability by the first quarter of 2027. However, the CEO of Beijing-based Z.ai responded to the comment, saying that their company will achieve this soon, but did not give a concrete timeline.

Researchers build brain-like memory device for AI sensors that may improve energy efficiency β€” phototransistor device combines light sensing, memory, and processing to cut data movement

Oregon State University researchers have developed a brain-inspired phototransistor that combines light sensing, memory, and signal processing in one device. The hardware can electronically control how long optical memories persist or fade, potentially improving energy efficiency in future AI vision systems.

OpenAI hit with sweeping probe from massive coalition of 42 US state attorneys general just days after reported IPO filing β€” subpoena targets ChatGPT maker’s ads, data practices, handling of minors, model sycophancy, and safety policies

State attorneys general have opened a broad investigation into OpenAI, subpoenaing documents on ads, user retention, data handling, minors, health data, model behavior, and safety policies.

More than 75 data center build-outs worth $130 billion have been successfully blocked in the first three months of 2026 β€” bipartisan opposition mounts nationwide over fears of soaring power and water costs

A research firm says the number of blocked data centers in the first quarter of 2026 already matches the number of projects stopped in 2025. The opposition also comes from both sides of the aisle, despite President Trump's push for more AI development inside the U.S.

AI costs spike as subscriptions hit pricing wall β€” firms turn towards Chinese LLMs, open-source models to extend budget

Companies look for cheaper alternatives as token costs for frontier AI models skyrocket, potentially impacting OpenAI and Anthropic's bottom lines. Subscriptions also take a bite out of these startup's profitability, as utilization rates higher than 5.7% could lead to losses.

Google signs $920M monthly compute deal with SpaceX β€” company’s projected annual data center revenue to exceed its combined proceeds from Starlink, launch services, and AI in 2025

Google's $920-million-a-month deal with SpaceX will let it secure 110,000 Nvidia GPUs starting October 2026. This is the second data center deal that SpaceX has secured in a matter of weeks, especially as it's quickly approaching its IPO on June 12, 2026.

Industry coalition urges Trump administration to take urgent action as AI data centers' extreme memory consumption threatens other industries β€” AI-driven memory chip shortage could raise prices in automotive, medical, telecommunications sectors

A coalition of nine U.S. trade associations has urged the Trump administration to address an AI-driven memory chip shortage, warning that soaring DRAM prices and constrained supply could raise costs for consumer electronics, automobiles, medical devices, and broadband infrastructure while disrupting supply chains through at least 2027.

Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like β€˜a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ β€” structures take three months to build and use jet engines for power

Meta is reportedly building more tents that house expensive data centers across the U.S., as it reportedly cuts construction time from two to three years to just a few months. It's also bringing its own power instead of relying on electricity from the grid.

AMD's Helios MI455X AI platform breaks cover, initial systems use UALink-over-Ethernet interconnects β€” AMD's Vera Rubin rival surfaces, but the downsides of Ethernet could hamstring performance

AMD’s Helios set to compete against Nvidia’s NVL72 VR200 rack-scale system later this year, but its UALink-over-Ethernet interconnection may affect performance in certain workloads before real UALink interconnects are deployed.

Microsoft unveils Project Solara AI, a chip-to-cloud platform built to power a new generation of 'agent-first' enterprise devices β€” hardware designed to run AI agents instead of traditional apps

Microsoft has unveiled Project Solara, an Android-based chip-to-cloud platform for AI-first enterprise devices. The system combines Qualcomm and MediaTek hardware, Azure-hosted agents, and adaptive interfaces, with reference designs including a wearable AI badge and a desktop AI hub.
