US trade deficit hits a record $1.2 trillion as AI hardware imports surge under the Trump administration β€” massive demand for chips from Asia outpaces domestic production, fueling a 60% increase in imports in 12 months

AI-related imports across the computing and electronics sector have led to a big increase in the U.S. trade deficit, hitting a record $1.2 trillion in 2025, despite efforts from the Trump administration to reduce the gap.

Researchers reach superconductivity at ambient pressure, record high temperature β€” milestone of -122Β°C reached by using pressure quenching, still 140 degrees off room temperature target

Researchers from the University of Houston managed to increase the critical temperature for superconductivity by about 18 K at ambient pressure, but at βˆ’122Β°C, they are still 140Β°C away from the target.

Meta's new MTIA lineup joins hyperscalers' unified push for dedicated inferencing chips β€” companies diversify AI chips in effort to diversify from sole reliance on Nvidia

As Meta introduces its lineup of new AI chips, the company joins other tech giants in diversifying the AI accelerators used for specific workloads, and says that mainstream GPUs built for large-scale pre-training are less cost-effective for inference workloads.
