Tech millionaires claim China is behind a wave of local opposition to U.S. data centers, while providing little direct evidence.
DiffusionGemma Last May Google briefly released an experimental Gemini Diffusion model. I tried the preview at the time and recorded it running at 857 tokens/second. It was an exciting model, but Google made no further announcements about it. That research has returned in the best possible way: as a new open weight (Apache 2 licensed) Gemma model, google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it . NVIDIA are currently hosting the model for free on their NIM cloud API. I used that API to generate this pelican , which took 4.4s (according to time uv run generate.py ) to return 2,409 tokens - so at least 500 tokens/second.

Google released DiffusionGemma, a 26-billion-parameter model that generates text not token by token but through diffusion, similar to how image AI turns noise into a picture. According to Nvidia, it hits about 1,000 tokens per second on a single H100 GPU, roughly four times faster than comparable autoregressive models. The speed comes at a cost, though. Output quality is lower, so Google is positioning it as an experimental tool for developers for now.

Anthropic just released Claude Fable 5, calling it the most powerful AI model it has ever made widely available and praising its skills in biology, among others. But the model won't answer basic biology questions - the kind you'd expect a high schooler to handle. Instead, it hands off the query to the former flagship […]

Sam Altman told employees he expects an OpenAI IPO "within the next year," but a delay to 2027 is possible. He frames it as caution around self-improving AI, though Anthropic's stronger growth numbers and imminent IPO may be the real reason to wait.

Anthropic's security team found that its Mythos Preview AI model can turn security patches for Firefox and the Windows kernel into working exploits within hours, for a few thousand dollars and no specialized knowledge. Eight complete attack chains were finished before Microsoft's auto-updates had reached a single device. The old patch rhythm is obsolete, Anthropic argues.
