Microsoft and Chevron have announced plans to develop a 2.67-gigawatt natural gas power plant in West Texas, dubbed 'Project Kilby,' under a 20-year power purchase agreement. The facility will provide dedicated electricity to a Microsoft-operated data center supporting AI and cloud services. Power generation will rely primarily on two GE Vernova turbines, with additional capacity from Solar Turbines, a Caterpillar subsidiary. Chevron describes the project as among the largest co-located natural gas power and data center developments in the United States. The announcement comes despite Microsoft's stated pledge to eliminate carbon emissions by 2030. According to the Environmental Integrity Project, Project Kilby could release more than 13 million tons of CO2, 3,200 tons of criteria air pollutants, and 278,000 pounds of hazardous air pollutants.

According to IDC data reported by Tom's Hardware, the global server market reached a record $122.6 billion in revenue in Q1 2026, up 30.4% year-over-year, driven primarily by AI infrastructure spending. GPU- and ASIC/FPGA-accelerated systems generated over 70% of total server revenue, with GPU-based servers alone accounting for $68.9 billion (56.2% of the market). Arm-based servers now account for more than 45% of server market revenue, with non-x86 platforms generating $58.7 billion—a 107.6% increase year-over-year. IDC estimates Arm systems represent over 95% of non-x86 revenue. Much of this Arm share is driven by high-value systems such as Nvidia's NVL72 Blackwell rack-scale solutions, which use Nvidia's Grace Arm-based CPUs alongside GPUs and can cost up to $6.5 million per unit. x86 servers from AMD and Intel saw revenue decline 2.9% to $63.9 billion, which IDC attributes to supply constraints on CPUs, DRAM, NAND, and hard drives rather than weakening demand. x86 processors remain volume leaders, with AMD and Intel shipping nearly 20 million data center processors in 2025, compared to an estimated 4 million Arm-based CPUs from Nvidia projected for 2026. Among vendors, Dell led with $20.3 billion in revenue (up 244.1% year-over-year), followed by Supermicro at $9.3 billion and Lenovo at $5.6 billion. Branded server vendors gained a larger share of AI deployments compared to the prior year, partly attributed to enterprise and sovereign AI projects.

Nvidia is promoting its Rubin generation reference design for fully liquid-cooled data centers, claiming the design eliminates significant power usage and nearly all water consumption. The announcement comes amid public criticism of data centers over their water and energy use. The design runs at higher temperatures as part of its cooling approach, though the article notes it does not address all concerns surrounding AI data centers.

Nvidia has announced a warm-water cooling system it claims can eliminate virtually all water consumption inside a data center, using a closed-loop coolant that circulates at 45–55°C and dissipates heat via passive radiators without evaporative cooling. The company's chief sustainability officer told Axios that 'the water consumption challenge for data centers is largely solved.' TechCrunch contends this claim is misleading because Nvidia's accounting only covers water used within the data center's physical boundary. Water consumption tied to electricity generation and chip manufacturing—sources outside that boundary—can double or triple a facility's total water footprint, meaning Nvidia's system addresses roughly one-quarter to one-third of AI data centers' overall water use. The article details water consumption rates for various power sources: natural gas plants use 1.17 liters per kilowatt-hour, coal plants use 2.2 liters per kilowatt-hour, and hydropower reservoirs lose approximately 6.8 liters per kilowatt-hour through evaporation. Wind and solar use around 0.01 and 0.03 liters per kilowatt-hour respectively. Fossil fuels currently supply roughly half of all data center power, and the IEA projects natural gas and coal will account for more than 40% of new electricity needed to meet data center demand through 2030. The article concludes that without changes to the broader energy mix, data centers will continue to carry a large water footprint regardless of on-site cooling improvements.

A TechCrunch article reports on the growing interest in 'agentic loops' in AI development, prompted by remarks from Claude Code creator Boris Cherny at Meta's @Scale conference. Cherny described loops—where AI agents continuously prompt other agents to perform tasks like improving code architecture or identifying duplicated abstractions—as a development as significant as the earlier shift from hand-written code to AI-written code. These agents submit pull requests and run indefinitely in the background, without a defined stopping point. The article notes that agentic loops are not entirely novel, drawing a parallel to recursive loops in traditional computer science, though AI loops rely on a subagent rather than an explicit condition to determine when to stop. One simple example discussed is the 'Ralph Loop,' which repeatedly asks a model whether it has accomplished its goal as a way to keep it on track over long runs. The article also frames loops as an extension of the push for more test-time compute, citing OpenAI researcher Noam Brown's observation that sufficient compute can allow models to solve nearly any problem. The piece acknowledges significant cost implications: agentic loops consume tokens continuously and at a higher rate than standard chatbot interactions, with no inherent spending ceiling. The article concludes that while the approach could be expensive and raises questions about oversight of token spend and model drift, the potential benefits may justify the costs depending on the use case.

TechCrunch is maintaining a running list of major tech companies that have announced significant layoffs in 2026 while citing artificial intelligence as a stated factor. The article was updated June 22, 2026, following Oracle's disclosure that it reduced its workforce by 21,000 employees—13%—over the prior 12 months, partly attributing the cuts to AI adoption. The list, presented in reverse chronological order, covers layoffs from January through June 2026 across more than a dozen large companies. Notable entries include Amazon (16,000 corporate jobs cut in January), Block (roughly 4,000 jobs, nearly half its workforce), Meta (approximately 8,000 employees, or 10%), PayPal (planning to cut over 4,500 jobs, around 20% of its workforce over two to three years), Snap (about 1,000 employees, 16%), Cloudflare (about 1,100 employees, 20%), Intuit (roughly 3,000 jobs, 17%), Cisco (nearly 4,000 jobs, 5%), Coinbase (about 700 employees, 14%), and GitLab (roughly 350 workers, 14%). IBM's cumulative U.S. cuts since late 2024 are estimated above 15,000. Google's 2026 cuts are estimated between 1,500 and 3,000-plus engineers, with no single official total announced. The article notes a common pattern: many of these companies reported strong or record revenues alongside the cuts. It also references analysis by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas indicating that tech layoffs hit a multi-year high in May 2026, with AI the most frequently cited reason. The article briefly references a separate TechCrunch piece questioning whether AI is the true driver, noting that many of the roles being cut expanded during pandemic-era hiring surges.

General Motors has installed approximately 50 FANUC robot arms at its Factory Zero electric vehicle plant in Detroit, drawing sharp criticism from the United Auto Workers union. The installation comes while more than 1,000 union members from Local 22 remain on indefinite layoff following what was described as a temporary layoff in March 2025. Those layoffs followed permanent cuts of 1,200 additional Factory Zero workers in October 2025. UAW Local 22 president James Cotton argued that GM could have recalled laid-off workers rather than deploying the robots. The article notes that broader automation trends are underway across the auto industry, with Ford and Stellantis also deploying assembly-line robots and Hyundai planning to introduce Boston Dynamics humanoid robots at its Georgia EV plant by 2028. The piece contrasts sharply divergent views on automation expressed during two concurrent Detroit events the same week: the Reindustrialize Summit, where startup founders spoke of robots empowering manufacturing, and the UAW Constitutional Convention, where UAW president Shawn Fain warned of humanoid robotics and mass automation threatening worker employment and wages amid rising wealth inequality.

Alibaba Cloud has released HappyHorse 1.1, an upgraded AI video generation model now available via API on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio with a 40% launch discount. The model, built by Alibaba's ATH AI Innovation Unit, uses a 15-billion-parameter unified Transformer that handles text, image, video, and audio in a single generation pass. According to the Artificial Analysis Video Arena benchmarking platform, HappyHorse 1.0 currently holds the No. 2 position across text-to-video, image-to-video, and related leaderboards, scoring 1,444 Elo points and leading Google's Veo-3.1 by 69 points in text-to-video. Version 1.1 adds multi-image reference capability (called R2V) for consistent character identity across shots, improved motion modeling, reduced visual artifacts such as facial oiliness and over-sharpening, enhanced audio-visual synchronization with claimed zero-drift lip sync, and better instruction-following for complex prompts. The article situates the release within a shifting competitive landscape: OpenAI discontinued Sora on April 26 after the product proved financially unsustainable, and ByteDance indefinitely suspended the international rollout of Seedance 2.0 following copyright complaints from major Hollywood studios, leaving Google's Veo 3.1 as the main Western enterprise competitor. The article also describes Alibaba's broader $52.7 billion infrastructure expansion, including new data centers in France, as supporting enterprise compliance and data sovereignty requirements. It flags geopolitical risk factors, including the Pentagon's June 8 addition of Alibaba to its list of Chinese military companies, which the article notes does not automatically restrict commercial transactions but adds complexity to enterprise procurement decisions.

The article, published on Medium, discusses a scenario in which a government intervened to shut down a frontier AI model. According to the brief excerpt provided, Anthropic released its first publicly available 'Mythos-class' model on June 9, identified as 'Fable 5,' and three days later a letter from Washington resulted in the model being taken offline. The article appears to examine the implications of a government having the authority to switch off a frontier AI model, though the full details of the piece are not available in the supplied text beyond this introductory snippet.
