Stay ahead on AI.
All in ONE place.

Sunrun, a solar and home energy storage company, is launching a pilot program to build a distributed AI compute network by placing small compute nodes in customers' homes equipped with its solar and battery systems. Customers will be compensated for hosting the nodes, while Sunrun sells the aggregated compute power to enterprise AI buyers. The program targets Sunrun's 1.1 million customers, who can join a waitlist. It comes as over 70 percent of Americans oppose new data centers due to pollution, noise, and resource concerns.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri says users who dislike AI content should opt out of seeing it in their feeds, but the platform won't filter AI posts entirely. Speaking on Lenny Rachitsky's podcast, Mosseri said Instagram should label AI content rather than ban it, and that AI fans should be able to have an all-AI feed. He acknowledged detecting AI is increasingly hard as models improve, and suggested labeling camera-captured content instead. Instagram also launched Meta's Muse Spark AI image generator, drawing exploitation concerns from child safety advocates.

Anthropic and UST are partnering to deploy Claude across 20,000 of UST's engineers, architects, and consultants worldwide. UST, which builds engineering systems for semiconductor, automotive, and manufacturing clients, is integrating Claude Code into its iDEC chip validation platform, where it reads hardware schematics, writes regression tests, and compares live equipment data against digital twins. The pipeline already cuts validation cycle times by 50 to 70%, condensing four-day turnarounds into 48 hours. UST is also embedding Claude into healthcare, telecom, and banking platforms.

Google has made AlphaEvolve generally available to all users. AlphaEvolve is a code optimization and discovery agent built on Google's Gemini model, designed to help organizations, researchers, and developers tackle some of their most difficult business problems. The tool uses AI to automate and improve code-based problem solving at scale, broadening access beyond any earlier limited release. Its general availability marks a significant step in Google's push to bring advanced AI coding agents to a wider audience.

Microsoft AI has partnered with poet and Poetry Pharmacy author William Sieghart and creative studio Gravity Road to launch Ode Poetry, a digital experience at odepoetry.ai that uses MAI audio models to replicate Sieghart's one-on-one poetry consultation sessions at global scale. The app uses MAI-Transcribe-1.5, which achieves a 4.86% Word Error Rate on the FLEURS benchmark, and MAI-Voice-2 to recreate Sieghart's distinctive vocal style from a short audio sample.

Anthropic has reset the hour and weekly rate limits for all Claude users. The reset affects both limit types simultaneously across all user tiers. Rate limits on Claude typically restrict how many messages or tokens users can send within a given timeframe, and resets like this temporarily restore full access for users who had hit their caps. No reason was given for the reset, but it offers immediate relief to heavy users who had reached their usage ceilings.
