Data center electricity use could quadruple by 2035

A new report from BloombergNEF predicts that U.S. data centers will consume four times more electricity by 2035, accounting for one-fifth of the nation's total power generation. The surge is driven by AI compute demand, with nearly half of new capacity going to training and inference. The forecast is 83% higher than BloombergNEF's previous estimate, reflecting rapid data center development and strained electrical grids.

Google Unveils Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and Cyber Model

Google has released three new Gemini models: 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber. The 3.6 Flash model offers improved coding and knowledge work with 17% fewer output tokens and lower costs. The 3.5 Flash-Lite is the fastest in the series at 350 tokens per second, designed for high-throughput agentic tasks. The 3.5 Flash Cyber model, available only to governments and trusted partners via CodeMender, focuses on finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Google also noted that Gemini 3.5 Pro is being tested with partners and that pre-training for Gemini 4 has begun.

NVIDIA NeMo Automodel and Hugging Face Unite for Diffusion Model Fine-Tuning

NVIDIA and Hugging Face have collaborated to bring production-grade distributed diffusion training to any Diffusers-format model on the Hugging Face Hub through the NVIDIA NeMo Automodel open-source library. The integration supports models like FLUX.1-dev, Wan 2.1, and HunyuanVideo, enabling full fine-tuning and LoRA adaptation without checkpoint conversion or model rewrites. The workflow uses YAML-driven configuration, pre-encoded datasets, and scalable parallelism from one GPU to hundreds.

Hassabis sees AI singularity soon; LeCun says LLMs not intelligent

At Google I/O 2026, DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis declared humanity is entering the singularity, predicting AGI within five years. Yann LeCun of AMI Labs countered that current language models lack true intelligence, which he defines as solving new problems without prior training. Gemini co-lead Oriol Vinyals offered a middle ground, acknowledging models are strong in code and math but still missing experiential learning.

California Governor Signs Executive Order to Protect Workers from AI Job Loss

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the first executive order by a U.S. governor aimed at shielding workers from AI-driven job displacement. The order directs state agencies to work with researchers, unions, and the AI industry on strategies including subsidies for companies that keep employees, expanded retraining for office workers, and a review of universal basic capital. Newsom cited predictions that half of all office jobs could vanish within five years and criticized the tax system for rewarding automation over hiring.
