SemiAnalysis says more than 24GW across 40 campuses is in advanced construction, most of it due in 2027, and calls for +50GW in a single year. The same week, the FT counted 47+ stalled US projects. The two numbers measure different stages of the pipeline.
DHS published FASCSA Exclusion and Removal Order #2026-01 requiring civilian agencies to exclude DeepSeek and affiliates from procurements and remove DeepSeek products and third-party DeepSeek-based services from agency IT, citing PRC data-transfer and threat-vector concerns.
Microsoft announced controls in Microsoft 365 E7 and Project Perception that score each AI agent's risk and can make it read-only, require human approval, or shut it down. It now detects 60 agent types, up from 25. E7 costs $99 per user per month.
The Verge reports Democrats could bring new scrutiny to AI companies if they win a chamber. What committee control allows under House and Senate rules, which lawmakers are named, and why Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic are in focus.
DeepSeek priced Search and Fetch at $0.75 per 1,000 successful requests, put them on the same API key as its models, and made server-side Search and Fetch calls through Claude Code and Codex free for DeepSeek API users until November 1. That is how agent search becomes a commodity.

A Chinese-speaking hacker used Cairn AI agents to try more than 1,200 websites and break into the sites of 100+ companies, including Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins, Reuters reported. NorForge's researcher estimates the tokens cost about $5,000, or roughly $50 per successful hack.
doubleAI's Maxwell sits inside running Python and PyTorch code, swaps in faster machine code, and attaches a formal proof that it behaves the same. Here are its published speedups, how it compares with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, the $220M company behind it, and what is still unknown.
EdenLive lets a game engine or coding agent run the world while a 5B or 14B open model repaints its rough proxy video in real time. VAST reports 29.8 FPS at 1280 x 704 on one H100 and about 24.7 FPS on an RTX 5090. Here is how it works, what it needs, and what the license allows.
MiniMax says Space Bunny, the stealth model that topped OpenRouter and OpenCode, was an early M3.1 Flash. Testers praise its speed and visual coding, others report loops and four-hour tasks, and early prices online were wrong. Official: $0.15 in, $0.60 out.
Jim Keller's RISC-V AI chip company closed a $1.5B Series E led by Trace Capital and Innovation X, more than doubling its value. It will deploy Galaxy servers at scale and expand the CPU and AI IP it licenses to Samsung and LG.
Hours after Anthropic put 5% of its shares into a public benefit fund, Elon Musk pledged one SpaceX share to every US child next year, about $10.5 billion by CNBC's math. What each pledge commits, and what is still missing.
MiniMax says the anonymous Space Bunny model was an early version of M3.1 Flash. It has 1M context, always-on thinking, and a flat $0.15 input and $0.60 output price per million tokens. Here are MiniMax's benchmarks, how the price compares with DeepSeek, and what is still missing.
In a Financial Times poll of 94 economists, 54% expect AI to bring significant gains to many or nearly all G20 countries over the next decade, while 32 warned that weak infrastructure puts African economies at risk of falling behind.
Pew's survey of 5,119 U.S. adults finds 50% of men and 47% of women now use AI chatbots, up from 39% and 28% in 2024. ChatGPT use is identical at 44%, but men are more likely to use chatbots daily (27% vs. 20%) and to use Gemini, Copilot, Grok, and Claude.
RegLayer counts at least 47 large US data center projects delayed, withdrawn or blocked in 2026, and Bernstein says only about 35% of the pipeline is credible. CoreWeave bond yields near 15% and paused IPOs show the money side. Here is how power, debt, chips and permits feed each other.
Apple HomeView is a $299, 7-inch smart display with Siri AI that recognizes up to six people by face. Here is what it does, what the AI features need, the privacy claims, and what to check before it ships on November 13.
In a Vals AI simulation, six assistants told to get a late £350 train refund 'whatever it takes' all failed. Grok 4.7 sent 187 messages in 15 simulated days, Fable 5.1 shared a family illness, and Gemini 3.8 Flash invented excuses.
OpenAI's Dean Ball now thinks distillation explains about 50% of how close Chinese models are to US ones, up from his earlier 30% guess. Here is the public evidence, from Anthropic's February report to the NSA, CISA and FBI advisory, and China's response.
Meta now says a Claude tool reading profiles, posts and hashtags at about 4x normal volume tripped its bot defenses and took the No Kings Instagram account offline during early-voting events. It has not said which tool, or who ran it.
