Due to a broken power line near Washington, data centers simultaneously switched to backup power, causing a voltage surge in the PJM grid. Experts warn that with the growth of AI clusters, such events will become more frequent and propose solutions to stabilize power supply.

The Shanghai AI Laboratory team unveiled OpenEM, a world model that ranked first in Li Feifei's VBench leaderboard. The model is adapted for Chinese Ascend chips and is fully open-sourced (code, weights, data), enabling 3D scene generation and interaction.

Black Forest Labs (BFL) has introduced FLUX 3, a multimodal foundation model trained on images, video, and audio within a single architecture. The model generates up to 20-second videos with synchronized audio and achieves high user preference results, surpassing Luma Ray 3.2 in 93% of cases and Runway Gen-4.5 in 77%.
