Michigan township combats nuclear weapons data center by passing ban on new electrical infrastructure — 220,000-square-foot hyperscale project is backed by University of Michigan and the Los Alamos National Laboratory

Ypsilanti Township is blocking a University of Michigan data center designed for researching nuclear weapons by temporarily stopping the electrical substation it needs to operate. It also put a one-year moratorium on the data center's water connection request earlier this year/

Quick takes

OpenAI's Ultrafast API tier runs GPT-5.6 Sol up to 14× faster on Cerebras infrastructure, targeting as high as 750 output tokens per second.
Models
Codex deployments are collapsing multi-year enterprise engineering backlogs into days or weeks, including Asana's roughly $12K testing rewrite that replaced an expected five-year effort.
Models
Enterprise AI demand looks switchable rather than sticky, as businesses bounce between OpenAI and Anthropic when each lab ships a new model.
Models
Privacy is becoming a live enterprise competitive axis, with OpenAI reaffirming Zero Data Retention and previewing Private Safety Processing against Anthropic's customer-data protections.
Models
AI infrastructure politics is hardening as data-center opposition becomes a bipartisan midterm rallying cry while NVIDIA matches GPU buyers with Nordic operators chasing cheap power and land.
Chips
Frontier labs are shipping coding-and-agent-focused model tiers in parallel, spanning Gemini 3.7 Flash, Grok 4.6 for long-running agents, and GPT-5.6 surfaces including Replit Free Mode.
Models
Enterprise coding agents are compressing multi-year engineering programs into weeks, as Asana reports replacing a testing system expected to take five years in two weeks with Codex for about $12K.
Models
Enterprise AI demand looks lab-switchable rather than sticky, with new data showing businesses moving between OpenAI and Anthropic as successive models ship.
