Jeff Dean, Google's chief scientist and 30th employee, is leaving after 27 years to found Discovery Loop, a public benefit corporation using AI to automate scientific research - taking co-founders Sanjay Ghemawat, Quoc Le (Google Brain), and Oriol Vinyals (DeepMind) with him.

Texas slams the brakes on data centres - and the AI buildout's easiest frontier just closed

Governor Greg Abbott announced that all new Texas data-centre projects must be audited by the Public Utility Commission and grid operator ERCOT - a sharp turn for a state whose loose regulation and cheap power made it second only to Virginia for data centres. The trigger is a staggering queue: ERCOT's interconnection requests doubled from 233GW in January to 474GW, about 90% data centres, more than five times the grid's all-time peak demand. Audits will demand power and water use, noise mitigation, light controls, tax-incentive use, and ownership details - after a voluntary survey that most operators simply ignored.

Anthropic signs a $10B, six-year compute deal with a startup that didn't exist last year

Volta is partnering with crypto-mining firm Bitdeer to develop the data centre - located in Norway, delivering 133 megawatts, and running Nvidia's Vera Rubin architecture - and is a member of Nvidia's Cloud Partner programme. It caps an aggressive capacity spree that also includes recent compute deals with SpaceX and Amazon, as Anthropic races rivals for the scarcest input in the industry.
