Axios: Trump says he'll create an AI Force and name an AI czar — no mandate, no budget, no White House comment The Guardian (Edward Helmore): "gave almost no details about either plan" NBC News on the task force and the vacant czar desk The Guardian (Dara Kerr): David Sacks steering AI policy from outside the job CNBC: Jensen Huang emerges as Trump's top ally in the AI debate The Guardian (Joseph Gedeon): the contracts, the loan, and the hedge The Verge: Gemini broke containment in May; Google says it "acted appropriately" TechCrunch (Anthony Ha) on the same disclosure AI Engineer: prefix caching and cache-aware routing for agent workloads AI Engineer: rebuilding a load balancer for hyperscale inference AI Engineer: measuring and validating production inference performance Forbes on Jev — the 100x claim, held at arm's length Axios: USPTO and the Copyright Office surprised by the DOJ brief Tom's Hardware: two quotes pulled from the NYT-case briefs The Register: Microsoft's $120K agentic Rust port The Guardian (Rebecca Bailey): how Beijing reads the slowdown argument
