Jensen is a legendary founder and CEO. The Nvidia board should not rush decisions. It’s better if they let shareholders vote on this.

The alpha from using swarms is ridiculous. We have folks using swarms of 100s of agents to build large systems and products from scratch with a single prompt.

The UI is also very delightful 😀

What a day! I tested Gemini 4 Carbon on real work. 2 repos, 105 replanted bugs. Find and fix what you can.

It scores just behind Fable 5.2. The results:

- Fable 5.2 (max): 58 for $139.65
- Gemini 4 Carbon (high): 57.3 for $31.32
- Sonnet 5.5 (max): 51.3 for $154.03
- GPT-6 Astra (max): 45 for $33.03
- GPT-6.1 Sol (max): 44.3 for $5.88
- Gemini 4 Argon (high): 40.7 for $7.16

Google's own benchmarks looked super strong, but nobody could access the model. Turns out they didn't lie: +16.6 points over Argon, at less than a quarter of Fable 5.2's cost.

Nobody should be laughing at Google anymore.

Gemini 4 Carbon is now available in Cursor!

At high effort, it's the top model on CursorBench at 60.4%

Four distinct TPU systems in a single generation in one year! Instead of waiting years for a traditional semiconductor cycle, hardware engineers co-designing systems alongside Google Deepmind means we can keep innovating quickly for customers.

[Amin Vahdat @AminVahdat]

Thrilled to share a big milestone from our AI & Infrastructure team at @Google.

Today we’re expanding our 8th generation TPU portfolio with:
• TPU 8i Max: Built for massive context windows and the highest compute density per rack
• TPU 8tx: Purpose-built for secure, confidential inference

This marks the first time we’ve introduced four distinct TPU systems in a single generation, in one year.

For developers, hardware is only as good as the software stack. And we want you to be able to build with TPUs as easily and efficiently as we do at Google. You can now:
↳ Run native PyTorch & Hugging Face models via TorchTPU (zero code rewrites)
↳ Cut KV transfer latency >90% with open-source TPU Sync
↳ Eliminate idle compute waste with Agent Compute Engine

Read more about our newest TPUs on our blog: https://t.co/8eaFhq3jhi

I look forward to connecting with builders, researchers, engineers and organizations pushing the boundaries of AI and computing!

.@washingtonpost reports a new joint Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania study finding data centers have "only a small effect on residential electricity prices."

Data centers were responsible for "just 4 percent of the utility rate increases over the last five years."

**Weak Connection Between Data Centers & Overall Electricity Prices**

"Multiple studies by different researchers and organizations have failed to find a strong connection between data centers and the overall trajectory of U.S. electricity prices in recent years."

🚨Coordinated Democratic Social Media Campaign to Win Midterms Revealed🚨

CNN’s Van Jones says Democrat operatives coordinated tens of thousands of people through the “American Accountability Network” to amplify their unaffordability message across social media.

“The Republicans never figured out what we were doing,” Jones said.

He described the participants as “online humans, not bots” and claimed the campaign generated 32.5 million daily hits on Instagram, 88.8 million on X and 185 million on Facebook

"Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative.....They couldn't get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore because we figured out how to get around all that."

I’m fighting to block a proposed 400-megawatt data center from being built on federal land at NAVWAR, here in San Diego. If built, this would be the largest data center in the state. Our community has been clear: we don’t want this!

Lots of updates this week so want to make sure everyone can build for the weekend. Lots more to come next week!

.@RepYassAnsari, what exactly do you mean by “See you soon”?

You’re a member of Congress responding to a private citizen who disagrees with your proposal to pause advanced AI development.

Are you threatening congressional retaliation? Government investigations? Or just trying to sound intimidating?

You’re a public official. Explain yourself.

Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

Mr. Vice-President,

Please allow me to present a different perspective.

The problem was not the Iran War. It was the cease fire.

If you start a war, you need to win it and finish it – otherwise don’t start it.

This war should have been over six months ago, with the Strait of Hormuz wide open and oil flowing. The second and third tiers of Iranian leadership should have been destroyed, and we should have supported the pro-western forces who could have taken leadership. We stood on the brink of a new, more peaceful Middle East - and then we blinked. We had a chance not only to deny Iran nuclear weapons, but to get rid of the world’s biggest supporter of terrorism.

Instead, we had a cease fire, which was followed by months of will we or won’t we finish the job. Every day was a different message. There still is. Is the war over? Is it about to begin? No one knows. There is confusion and inconsistency.

In June 2025, America was not involved. This was an Israel vs Iran issue.

No one forced the United States to attack Iran then, or in February of 2026. It was a decision made by President Trump. In my opinion, it was the right decision.

Once the decision was made, we should not have stopped until the regime fell. But instead, you negotiated a cease fire that didn’t last, didn’t work and left us in no man’s land, with higher prices and our troops still deployed.

Our troops could have been home, the Navy returned to its bases, a peaceful regime in place , new alliances forged, and gas prices below $3.00 a gallon.

No, Mr. Vice President. It’s not the war. It’s the so-called cease fire.
