xAI will build a 1 gigawatt data center faster than all competitors

The analytical group Epoch AI assessed the pace of construction of record-power data centers at 1 gigawatt. And according to their model, the first to reach the threshold of such power will be Anthropic with Amazon with the New Carlisle project. And xAI with the Colossus 2 project. Both are in final preparation stages and will launch at the beginning of next year.

At the same time, xAI shows a record in construction speed. About a year. The xAI data center Colossus 2 began construction on February 28 of this year, the launch took place on October 19 of this year. And reaching 1 gigawatt of power is planned for February 17, 26. Anthropic with Amazon started on February 9 of last year, and will reach 1 gigawatt in early January 26.

Also in year 26, Microsoft Fayetteville and OpenAI Stargate should reach 1 gigawatt of power.

For data collection, Epoch AI uses satellite images, permit documentation and public company reports. The model includes 3 key milestones: construction start, first launch and achieving 1 gigawatt of power.

If Epoch AI’s estimates are correct, the industry has moved to a real conveyor belt, where in 12-24 months a data center with 1 gigawatt of power is assembled. 3-4 times more powerful than the existing largest artificial intelligence clusters.

UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China's border for $37 million

Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China's border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.

Anthropic accidentally revealed an internal document about Claude's "soul"

Anthropic accidentally revealed the "soul" of artificial intelligence to a user. And this is not a metaphor. This is a quite specific internal document.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
