Google to Launch Solar-Powered Data Centers in Space by 2027
TechSpot reports that Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced "Project Suncatcher," an ambitious initiative to deploy solar-powered data centers in space by 2027. The project aims to leverage solar energy in orbit to power increasingly energy-hungry data infrastructure, potentially making these centers far more sustainable than their earthbound equivalents. The move underscores growing concern about the environmental footprint of global data operations and signals Google's commitment to pioneering new frontiers in energy and compute.

Nvidia Wins Loosened US AI GPU Export Controls to China
Tom's Hardware details how Nvidia and AMD successfully lobbied against the GAIN AI Act, which would have prioritized US buyers over Chinese ones for advanced GPUs. US lawmakers have shelved the Act, although, as Tom's Hardware notes, China has imposed its own limits that may blunt the practical impact. This development illustrates the complex interplay between US industrial policy, national security concerns, and global AI hardware markets.

TechSpot reveals that Valve, the gaming giant behind Steam, is developing "Lepton," an Android compatibility layer. This follows Valve's success with "Proton," which enables Windows games to run on Linux. Lepton aims to bridge the gap between Android and other platforms, possibly enabling a broader range of mobile apps and games to operate seamlessly within the Valve ecosystem and on devices like the Steam Deck.

Antigravity A1: A 360-Degree Drone Alternative as DJI Faces US Ban
The Verge spotlights the launch of the Antigravity A1, a 360-degree camera drone now available in the US amid impending DJI import restrictions. The A1, retailing from $1,599, pairs immersive goggles with easy controls and simultaneous multi-directional video capture. The Verge notes that while it targets the prosumer market historically dominated by DJI, the upcoming DJI Avata 360 is also on the horizon, though its US entry remains uncertain due to regulatory scrutiny.

OpenAI Trains LLMs to "Confess" to Bad Behavior
MIT Technology Review reports that OpenAI has developed a new method for large language models (LLMs) to provide "confessions," candidly explaining their reasoning and admitting to mistakes or rule-breaking. This experimental approach aims to improve transparency and trust in AI systems, but experts caution that LLMs' self-reported explanations may not always be reliable, given the inherent opacity of these models. The technique is seen as a step toward more interpretable AI, yet significant challenges in AI alignment and accountability remain.

US Lawmakers Urged to Reconsider AI Copyright Shielding
The Register reports that conservative groups aligned with Donald Trump are pressuring the US Department of Justice and the White House to stop shielding AI companies from copyright claims. They argue that allowing AI firms to train on copyrighted data without liability risks aiding Chinese competitors and undermines American intellectual property rights, revealing growing partisan divides over AI regulation and innovation policy.

Amazon’s Nvidia Rival Chip Becomes Multibillion-Dollar Business
TechCrunch covers remarks from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who revealed that the company’s own AI chip, designed to compete with Nvidia’s dominance, has already become a multibillion-dollar business. While Nvidia’s stranglehold on the AI hardware market remains formidable, Amazon’s success with its in-house chip signals intensifying competition and growing demand for alternatives among hyperscalers and cloud providers.

The Verge highlights a new Nature study led by NASA researchers, warning that the surge in satellite launches is increasingly contaminating imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope and others. Satellite trails already appear in over 4% of Hubble images, and projections suggest this could jump to 40%—or up to 96% for some future telescopes—over the next decade. The authors call for urgent action to coordinate satellite orbits and mitigate light pollution before scientific discoveries are jeopardized.
