    Microsoft's Dutch data center project faces protest, protesters concerned about the environmental impact of AI infrastructure

    Over 100 protesters broke into Microsoft's under-construction Dutch data center yesterday, protesting the environmental impact of AI infrastructure expansion. Protesters are primarily concerned about the power and water consumption of large data centers and their environmental impact, demanding a halt to large-scale new construction projects. Microsoft responded that it respects the public's right to express opinions peacefully but does not recognize illegal acts, and the event ended with the police clearing the scene and arresting 150 to 200 protesters.

    Microsoft is gradually terminating its AI cloud computing power rental from Oracle.

    After Microsoft decided not to renew the contract, it gradually phased out the AI computing power it rented from Oracle. Sources familiar with the matter said that this computing power was shut down because it no longer met the company's specification requirements, and the Oracle hardware used older-generation NVIDIA chips.

    Reports say TSMC considers entering advanced memory chip manufacturing, potentially for NVIDIA's 3D DRAM

    TSMC is considering expanding its business scope, entering advanced memory chip manufacturing to gain a larger share in the rapidly expanding AI hardware supply chain. TSMC has recently started planning to produce an advanced memory chip named '3D DRAM' at NVIDIA's request. TSMC is evaluating two paths: one is to build a dedicated new factory, and the other is to acquire an existing wafer factory and transform it into a memory production facility.

    China is reported to have recruited AI executives to monitor NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun

    China reportedly recruited Megaspeed executive Alice Huang to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, attempting to obtain US AI chip information and possibly influence Nvidia's supply of the most advanced chips to China. Alice Huang has close ties with Nvidia executives, and Megaspeed is a customer of Nvidia. Three committees in the US House of Representatives have demanded that Huang attend a closed-door meeting regarding his 'interactions' with Alice Huang.

    Latest updates on AI data centers

    AI data center construction has drawn global attention due to issues such as energy consumption, environmental impact, and community opposition. OpenAI and Amazon have committed to cooperating with local communities and covering energy costs, but the U.S. Congress may pass restrictions. AMD CEO Lisa Su stated that the company prioritizes data centers, and OpenAI is gradually renaming data centers to 'compute campuses'.

    Huawei and Linggong Data Center reveal China's computing power gap

    Huawei is building a large AI data center in Linhe, Inner Mongolia, which is one of the largest AI computing power centers in China, but its computing power is only one-tenth of that of the largest US data center, Colossus 2. The Ascend 910C chips deployed in the center are inferior in both performance and energy efficiency to Nvidia H100, and their production capacity is far lower than Nvidia's, resulting in Chinese AI infrastructure supporting only 40% of the computing power of leading US facilities at the same power level.

    AI reverse engineering or forcing the acceleration of the PC version of 'Grand Theft Auto VI'?

    Reverse engineering tools for AI might bring the PC version of 'Grand Theft Auto VI' ahead of schedule; experts believe the cost of converting the PS5 version to PC using AI could be 'tens of thousands of dollars,' but the results may not match Rockstar's native version, yet still sufficient to meet the needs of some players. Rockstar has not yet announced the official release date for the PC version of 'Grand Theft Auto VI,' but it is reported that its target is the first quarter of 2027.

    Ramp data shows AI spending stagnation, as Anthropic's IPO is approaching.

    Ramp's report shows that corporate token spending only increased by 1.5% from August to September, while it grew by 42% month-on-month in July, and token usage is still rising. Ara Kharazian, chief economist at Ramp, believes that the price cuts by OpenAI and Anthropic and corporate discounts make AI usage cheaper, and the top 1% of spending companies are slightly below the monthly per capita peak of $10,000 in summer. Ramp data shows AI spending stagnation, coinciding with Anthropic's upcoming IPO. Ramp's spending data gives a price signal opposite to usage growth, which can be used to observe the tension between model companies' revenue and IPO valuations.

    Why it matters: Ramp's spending data provides a price signal opposite to usage growth, which can be used to observe the tension between model companies' revenue and IPO valuations.

    If AGI is so close, why are so many people leaving? The new labs and their bets

    Ilya Sutskever and other top AI researchers are leaving major companies to establish new labs like Safe Superintelligence and Core Automation, attracting industry attention. These new labs (neolabs) focus on filling AI research gaps not covered by major companies, such as continuous learning and new learning paradigms, attracting massive investments from investors like Nvidia. They aim to explore the future direction of AI through more flexible mechanisms rather than relying on the large-scale model strategies of major companies.

    METR audit finds Anthropic may have already crossed its AI acceleration warning threshold in July

    METR's internal audit of Anthropic shows that since October 2025, the rate of improvement in its model test scores has been about 1.9 times faster than before (from March 2024 to October 2025). AECI's annual growth rate has increased from approximately 15 points to 29 points, equivalent to completing two years of progress in one year.

    Why it matters: METR's audit of Anthropic's internal data shows the model's improvement rate is about 1.9 times faster than before, but a large amount of key evidence has been deleted, and readers can judge the boundaries of external audits in terms of transparency based on this.
