Wired AI News | Score: 0.35 | neutral | Published: 05:30 Jun 16, 2026 (Eastern)

As companies increase their reliance on generative AI tools, they are managing rising costs associated with "tokenomics," or the expense of the computing power required for AI models to analyze and generate content. While some organizations, such as 8x8 and Baseball Lifestyle 101, report that AI-driven productivity gains and savings from cutting other software costs outweigh these expenses, others like Meta, Uber, and Salesforce have introduced usage caps due to financial concerns. Executives are increasingly focused on monitoring token consumption and balancing AI budgets, with mentions of "tokens" in earnings call transcripts significantly rising over the past year.

US Residential Solar Installations Set To Stall For Years As Market Hits Wall

Zero Hedge | Score: 0.35 | negative | Published: 06:55 Jun 16, 2026 (Eastern)

A report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance projects that U.S. residential solar installations will experience a prolonged slump, failing to reach 2023 record levels within the next decade. Factors contributing to this downturn include higher interest rates, the expiration of certain federal tax credits, and shifting state policies, which have increased upfront costs and payback periods for homeowners. While major solar companies are adjusting their forecasts and shifting focus toward commercial projects, California and Florida continue to see growth in installations due to state-level incentives and high electricity prices. Additionally, the market for residential solar batteries is expected to decline by 26% in 2026, though a higher percentage of new solar systems currently include battery storage.
