AI Breakthroughs, Mega-Compute, and Security Risks

• Good morning, multiple outlets are reporting a breakthrough from Johns Hopkins where

untrained AI models mimic human brain architecture to match performance of systems trained

on millions of images, slashing training costs and energy use dramatically. •

• This challenges data-heavy paradigms, improving cost-performance ratios for faster, sustainable AI deployments.

• • This significantly Optimizes power and cooling strategies by cutting datacenter

energy demands given regional heat-water tradeoffs. • • And moving to

models,... • • Official announcements from OpenAI and xAI reveal a Q1

2026 audio model redesign with natural speech and real-time features, plus Grok 4.2's
