OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank announced five new US data center sites for the Stargate project, bringing total investment to over $400 billion in the next three years and nearly 7 gigawatts of planned capacity. The new sites in Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and an unnamed Midwest location put them ahead of schedule to meet their $500 billion, 10-gigawatt commitment by end of 2025. The flagship Abilene, Texas site is already operational with Oracle Cloud infrastructure and racks of NVIDIA chips, with capacity to scale past a gigawatt, enough to power 750,000 US homes.

Google Labs introduced Mixboard, an experimental AI-powered concepting board that helps users explore and expand ideas through images and text on an open canvas. Users can start projects from text prompts, upload their own images, or generate unique visuals with AI, then edit boards using natural language with their new image editing model Nano Banana. The platform offers one-click options like "regenerate" and "more like this," plus generates contextual text based on any images on the board, available now as public beta in the US for creative projects from home decor to product design.

Alibaba announced Qwen3-Max, its largest AI model to date with over 1 trillion parameters, showing particular strength in code generation and autonomous agent capabilities that require fewer human prompts than ChatGPT. The model, revealed at Alibaba's annual Apsara Conference, outperformed rivals including Anthropic's Claude and DeepSeek-V3.1 in third-party benchmarks like Tau2-Bench according to the company. CEO Eddie Wu said Alibaba will increase AI spending further as industry development and infrastructure demand have "far exceeded expectations," with the company pivoting from open-source to commercial strategy for this flagship model.

Google Cloud's 2025 DORA Report surveyed 5,000 tech professionals and found AI adoption among software developers surged to 90%, up 14% from last year, with developers spending a median of two hours daily using AI tools. Over 80% report enhanced productivity and 59% see improved code quality, though a "trust paradox" exists with only 24% having high trust in AI despite widespread use. The report introduces seven team archetypes from "Harmonious high-achievers" to "Legacy bottleneck" teams, showing AI acts as both "mirror and multiplier" that boosts efficiency in cohesive organizations but highlights weaknesses in fragmented ones.

Cloudflare released VibeSDK, an open-source platform that lets anyone deploy their own AI-powered "vibe coding" platform with one click, enabling users to build websites by describing what they want in sentences. The system includes isolated sandbox environments for safe code execution, integration with LLM models through Agents SDK, project templates, and deployment to Cloudflare's global network supporting millions of applications. Built-in AI Gateway provides observability and caching across multiple AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, tracking costs and performance while allowing companies to customize the platform for internal teams or embed in products.

Citigroup unveiled Citi Stylus Workspaces with new agentic AI capabilities designed to help employees complete complex, multi-step tasks more efficiently across the organization. The upgraded internal AI platform enables autonomous task completion beyond simple chatbot interactions, streamlining workflows that previously required multiple manual steps and systems. This launch positions Citi among major banks adopting agentic AI technology to transform productivity, allowing the AI to handle routine banking operations while employees focus on higher-value client services and strategic decisions.
