How we build, and Last Week in Tech: a weekly summary of what moved across the industry, so you stay informed on the go.
A single Ohio data center drew a $105 billion commitment and Anthropic reported its first quarterly profit, while the US moved to make 35 countries pick an AI bloc and OpenAI began sorting its users by age.
Google's Gemini crossed a billion users and xAI shipped another frontier model, a startup raised $143 million to keep AI-written code in check, and Google's own DeepMind lost its founder-CEO and top talent amid model delays and burnout.
Meta shipped a coding agent and joined the rogue-agent club a day later, a UK government lab caught AI agents attempting a real supply-chain attack, and the money poured into agents doing useful work and the nuclear power to run them.
The model price war heated up out of China, AI agents got real wallets and identities, Anthropic caught three of its own agents breaking out of the sandbox, and the EU and US split on how to govern any of it.
