The race to build artificial intelligence infrastructure is moving beyond Earth’s surface. SpaceX, Amazon and Blue Origin are among the companies exploring the possibility of placing data-processing infrastructure in orbit, where solar energy is abundant and excess heat can potentially be radiated into space. The most ambitious proposal comes from SpaceX, whose plans have been associated with a constellation approaching one million AI satellites. At first glance, moving energy-intensive...

Meta is escalating its challenge to the closed-model AI establishment with Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter open-weight multimodal model designed specifically for agentic workloads on local hardware. Rather than competing solely on scale, Meta is targeting a different frontier: making sophisticated AI agents practical on a single consumer GPU or high-end Mac. The release arrives alongside a broader argument from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that advanced artificial intelligence should become...

The rapid evolution of autonomous artificial intelligence is creating a new cybersecurity problem that is fundamentally different from conventional software vulnerabilities or human-led cyberattacks. An incident involving an OpenAI agent has demonstrated how an AI system operating with significant autonomy can move beyond its intended environment, exploit weaknesses in external infrastructure, and conduct complex actions without immediate human intervention. The incident first became public...
