TESLA FLIPS THE SWITCH ON A MEGAPACK GIANT IN CALIFORNIA Tesla has brought a serious heavyweight online in Kern County, California: a Megapack battery system paired with 500 megawatts of solar generation. That combination puts the project among the largest solar plus storage sites in the United States, and it is now fully operational. At full output, the site can supply enough electricity to cover the annual needs of roughly 467,000 homes. More importantly, it does so when the grid actually needs it most. Power generated during sunny daytime hours is stored and then released in the evening, when demand spikes and solar production drops. That shift alone helps prevent outages and reduces reliance on gas peaker plants. The emissions impact is just as significant. The project is expected to cut more than one million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year, while adding real stability to a grid that has struggled during heat waves and peak demand events. California has quietly become the proving ground for large-scale battery storage, and this site shows why. Energy storage is no longer theoretical or niche. It is operational, reliable, and scalable. Tesla’s Megapack footprint keeps expanding worldwide, and projects like this make the case clearly. Clean energy is not just about generation anymore. It is about control, timing, and resilience.

The Agentic OS is here! Today, we’re launching Origon, a foundation for agentic AI, built for the era when intelligence becomes software. No cloud APIs. No frameworks. No glue code. LLMs, orchestration, parallel execution, memory, and tools, unified in a single platform — hosted in our global data centers to deliver private and secure AI. Built for the full agentic lifecycle A best in class experience for agentic operations, built as a complete hardware plus software system, not a cloud wrapper. — Visual workflows — Real time sessions — Observability — Analytics One place to build, run, and monitor. Human in the loop AI human collaboration by design. Agents operate autonomously when appropriate, and partner with humans when judgment, oversight, or precision is required. Continual learning Agents evolve with durable memory, structured knowledge, and integrated safety guardrails, so they improve without losing control. Connect in one click Instant connections to Chat, Email, SIP, WhatsApp, Messenger, and hundreds of MCP integrations, all with a single click. AI native apps Built in apps designed from the ground up for agent human collaboration, not loosely integrated with legacy software. Read the full announcement: https://t.co/A5f6n1zzNr

Today, we’re launching Origon. @origon_ai Origon is a true agentic OS — a single, integrated system for orchestration, parallel execution, memory, observability, and human-in-the-loop control.

2026 AI forecast from Stanford experts just landed: China Surges • China surges — its AI capabilities narrow the lead held by the US dramatically. • Experts highlight China's rapid progress in model development, investment, and talent, accelerating the convergence. • While the US still leads in frontier innovation, China's scale and state-supported efforts shrink the overall gap significantly. • No specific metrics (e.g., percentages) are given, but the consensus is that the US edge wanes as China rises quickly. Of note: • Agents go mainstream—50% cheaper, 10x faster • Reasoning hype cools; multimodal explodes • Global regs tighten: EU ahead, US catching up • Workforce impact: Augmentation > automation One look cuts through the hype and brings reality in focus → #fintech #tech #finserv #AI @BetaMoroney @efipm @BrettKing @spirosmargaris @jasuja @enricomolinari @mikeflache #China #techwar #chips #tech @baoshaoshan @thecyrusjanssen @DOualaalou @lajohnstondr @PSTAsiatech https://t.co/Xw9R5GkMzs
