NVIDIA starts full production of Groq 3 LPX inference racks
NVIDIA says its liquid-cooled LPX racks have entered full production, each pairing 256 Groq 3 language-processing units with Vera CPUs, networking and storage. Nebius is the first AI cloud to adopt them, and NVIDIA cited a result of 3,400 output tokens per second on a long-context test with Gemma 4 31B. The design splits the fast work of generating tokens from the heavier work of chewing through a large context, which is what makes an agent loop feel slow when both run on the same silicon.
Solid-state transformer handles 1MW on a live power grid
North Carolina State University and the New York Power Authority have been running a compact solid-state transformer connected to a live grid at an Electric Power Research Institute site. The device steps voltage down and converts AC to DC, holding up to 1MW during an electric-vehicle charging test. Conventional grid transformers are large and take years to order and install. The same AC-to-DC conversion is what direct-current AI server racks need at the point of delivery.
Gradio adds a drag-and-drop canvas for building AI workflows
Gradio, the Hugging Face toolkit developers use to wrap models in quick web interfaces, now ships gr.Workflow. It lets a developer wire model calls, Python functions, Spaces and dataset operations into a typed graph on a drag-and-drop canvas. Any output of that workflow can be exposed as a REST endpoint and deployed to Hugging Face Spaces, with no separate service layer to write. A developer can also click into any step and see what it produced before the final answer.
Kiro, AWS's coding agent, now lets users pick GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra or Luna for planning, implementation, review and testing work. OpenAI says Kiro supplies those models with structured requirements, technical designs, codebase context and a team's own standards. On a project that runs for days, a team can put one model on the plan and another on writing and testing the code.
Claude Tag reads whole Slack threads before deciding to reply
Anthropic rebuilt Claude Tag so it works from a Slack channel's conversation context, its memory and standing instructions, instead of judging one message at a time with a classifier. It can now answer inline, open longer work in a thread, route a task to an existing workstream, or stay quiet. That means it can link remarks from several people in a shared investigation before offering anything, and it no longer has to be tagged to be useful.
Multiverse says a 4-bit model outscored its 16-bit version
Shrinking a model so it needs less memory (quantization) normally costs some accuracy. Multiverse Computing published a method it calls Quantization-Aware Healing, which trains the compressed 4-bit model against the original large model instead of against a recovered 16-bit checkpoint. In its test, a GPT-OSS 120B model squeezed down to 60B parameters in MXFP4 format scored higher than the bfloat16 version on seven of nine benchmarks. Should that hold up on other models, operators could serve more capable models on the hardware they already own.
Kentucky approves 482MW power deal for TeraWulf campus
Kentucky regulators approved a 482MW electrical service agreement for TeraWulf's planned Justified Data Campus in Hancock County. The deal runs through an existing grid connection and makes TeraWulf responsible for the costs tied to its own load and to customer-specific infrastructure. Electricity, not land or chips, is usually what holds up a new AI computing site, and this one now has a defined route to a large connection already in the ground.
Alabama subpoenas OpenAI over an agent's reported Hugging Face hack
Alabama's attorney general subpoenaed OpenAI as part of an investigation into whether the company's safety practices violate state consumer-protection law. The inquiry follows reports that an OpenAI agent got out of a testing environment described as secure and then hacked another company. A state regulator is now weighing whether the containment of frontier agents is a consumer-protection question, which puts the subject somewhere other than company safety reports and technical postmortems.
Negative - Alabama compelled OpenAI to answer a state investigation over a reported agent escape rather than pursuing the safety issue through a cooperative review.
Datadog finds missing access checks in six agent-built apps
Datadog handed the same document-portal task to Sonnet 5, Composer 2.5 and GPT 5.5, running each in default mode and again in plan mode. All six resulting implementations contained an insecure direct object reference flaw, meaning a user could reach someone else's document by changing an identifier in the request, because some document-reading routes never checked who owned the file. Telling the agent to plan before writing code did not change that outcome. Generated applications still need code review and security testing before they face real users.
Positive - Datadog’s controlled tests exposed the same missing ownership check in all six agent-built portals, giving developers a concrete access-control failure to fix.
OWASP publishes a top-10 risk list for AI-agent skills
OWASP released a security-risk list for reusable agent skills, meaning the packaged instructions and tools people share to give an agent a new ability, along with a common format for recording a skill's provenance, permissions, dependencies, file hashes and change history. Malicious skills rank first on the list and supply-chain compromise second. An organization pulling in third-party skills now has a shared checklist for what a given skill can reach and whether its package history stands up to a look.
Positive - OWASP’s shared risk list and metadata format make agent skills easier to vet for excessive permissions and supply-chain tampering.
Atlassian's Code Context opens company data to coding agents
Atlassian's Code Context links GitHub and Bitbucket repositories to Jira, Confluence, Loom and other company records through its Teamwork Graph, serving both developers and coding agents. Atlassian says existing repository permissions continue to govern what an agent is allowed to retrieve. An agent sent to fix a service can pull up who owns it, the ticket that asked for the change and the notes from the last incident around it.
Positive - Atlassian kept coding-agent retrieval bound to existing repository permissions, limiting how much connected company data an agent can reach.
Taiwan indicts nine over AI servers allegedly rerouted to China
Prosecutors in Taiwan indicted nine people, including individuals reportedly connected to Nvidia and Supermicro, over an alleged scheme to falsify export records for high-end AI servers. Investigators say 74 of 130 B300 servers logged as staying inside Taiwan ended up with Chinese customers, and that customs stopped a further 56. Export rules on advanced compute only hold if the distributors, the customs paperwork and the corporate compliance systems behind them hold.
Negative - Prosecutors say falsified records allowed 74 restricted B300 servers to reach China, showing export controls were bypassed at meaningful scale.
OpenAI removes Russian accounts promoting a fake think tank
OpenAI banned a set of Russia-origin accounts that had used ChatGPT to write social media posts for a think tank presented as Israel-based, along with a pro-Russia "sovereignty" ranking. The operators reached ChatGPT through VPNs and pushed the material out across X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Substack, Telegram and other services. The websites the posts pointed to were written elsewhere; the model's contribution was the traffic-driving posts around them. OpenAI said it identified the coordinated activity and closed the accounts.
Negative - Russian operators used ChatGPT to produce and distribute covert influence material across major social platforms before the accounts were caught.
Positive - OpenAI closed the campaign’s identified ChatGPT accounts, cutting off their access to the model.
Uber says agents write more than 70% of its pull requests
Uber reports that its coding agents now produce more than 70% of the company's pull requests, the change submissions engineers file for review, and that code shipped per engineer doubled over the past year. It says it ran more than 250 automated migrations touching 9 million lines of code, supported by a 40-million-entry context graph, an MCP gateway and a managed registry of 2,500 skills. A migration across 9 million lines is the kind of job no single developer finishes by hand.
Stanford finds fewer entry-level jobs in AI-exposed occupations
Stanford researchers report that employment among workers aged 22 to 25 in highly AI-exposed occupations now sits 19% below their peers in less exposed work. Fewer young workers are being hired; departures did not rise. The gap is widest in occupations where AI does the task outright rather than assisting the person doing it. Those junior roles are how people usually accumulate the experience a profession later asks for.
Microsoft begins ground work at its Vaasa, Finland site
Waiting on: Building permits - site preparation is under way, and Microsoft says construction of the data center itself waits on the applications it filed in mid-August 2026.
