Texas Freezes Every New Data Center Until the Grid People Have Looked at It
Texas built its whole reputation on saying yes to industry, so it means something when Texas says wait. Governor Greg Abbott has frozen approval of every new data center until the electricity regulators go through them one at a time, and each applicant must now declare its tax breaks, its water use and its owners. The queue waiting to plug into the Texas grid runs to 474 gigawatts, more than five times the most power the state has ever used at once. Critics call it theatre, since a governor's letter is not a law. If your 2027 plans assume American computing capacity will simply be there, that assumption just got a timeline.

Your Television Has Been Working for a Data Broker
Your television is something you watch, and it has also been working as someone else's plumbing. Samsung has started pulling apps from its smart TVs after Mnemonic, a Norwegian security firm, found code inside them that rents your home internet connection out to strangers, including a Pac-Man game Samsung had featured as an editor's pick. The researcher watched the traffic through his own set: bulk harvesting of LinkedIn profiles, and data gathered to train AI. A request from a living room gets let in where one from a data center gets blocked. The vendor says everyone opted in on a consent screen, and you would have tapped it too, to play Pac-Man.

The Best Free Video Model Just Landed, and Europe Is Not Allowed to Download It
We have spent two years getting comfortable with a simple arrangement: the American labs keep their best models locked up, and the Chinese labs hand theirs out. MiniMax has now handed out H3, a video model that makes clips up to fifteen seconds long with speech, music and sound created alongside the picture, running on one good gaming graphics card. The licence excludes the EU, the UK, the US and South Korea. Disney, Universal and Warner are suing MiniMax over what it trained on, and those four markets regulate AI video hardest. The free model is sitting right there, and we are the ones who cannot legally take it.

A British Chip That Does Its Maths with Light Just Tripled in Value
Every AI company on earth is queuing for the same scarce hardware at one supplier's price, so anyone with a way around it gets a hearing. Olix, a British startup called Flux Computing until January, raised $312 million at roughly three times the valuation it carried six months ago, backed by the UK government's sovereign AI fund and chip designer Arm. Its chips do the calculations with light instead of electricity, skipping the expensive memory that makes conventional AI hardware so costly. The catch is large and honest: you cannot buy one until late 2027, and optical computing has been five years away for about twenty years.

Sequoia Puts a Billion Dollars into Small Nuclear Reactors Built for AI
Read this one next to the Texas story, because it is the same problem seen from the other end. Valar Atomics, a three-year-old company making small factory-built nuclear reactors, raised $1 billion led by Sequoia at three times the valuation it carried a few months ago. In June it ran an Nvidia system off one of its reactors, and is now planning a nuclear-powered AI facility in Utah with Nvidia. The bet underneath is that the public grid will not stretch far enough and the industry will bring its own power. Whether a reactor gets built faster than a power line is what we are all about to find out.
