not much happened today

**Google's Project Suncatcher** prototypes scalable ML compute systems in orbit using solar energy with Trillium-generation TPUs surviving radiation, aiming for prototype satellites by 2027. **China's 50% electricity subsidies** for datacenters may offset chip efficiency gaps, with **Huawei** planning gigawatt-scale SuperPoDs for DeepSeek by 2027. **Epoch** launched an open data center tracking hub, and **Deutsche Telekom** and **NVIDIA** announced a $1.1B Munich facility with 10k GPUs. In agent stacks, **MCP** (Model-Compute-Platform) tools gain traction with implementations like **LitServe**, **Claude Desktop**, and **Reka's MCP server** for VS Code. Anthropic emphasizes efficient code execution with MCP. Context engineering shifts focus from prompt writing to model input prioritization, with reports and tools from **Weaviate**, **Anthropic**, and practitioners highlighting instruction-following rerankers and embedding approaches. DeepMind's **IMO-Bench** math reasoning suite shows **Gemini DeepThink** achieving high scores, with a ProofAutoGrader correlating strongly with human grading. Benchmarks and governance updates include new tasks and eval sharing in lighteval.
