Google's teases an early Pixel 10 drop: What to expect
What To Expect From Pixel 10 Series
Google might be switching up the Pixel playbook again. After nudging last year's Pixel 9 launch to August—just ahead of Apple's iPhone 16 reveal—the company now seems ready to move even earlier. Rumours suggest the Pixel 10 could make its debut as soon as late June or early July.Adding fuel to the fire, select Pixel Superfans have been invited to an exclusive 'Pixel Penthouse' event in London on June 27. And yes, it's as fancy as it sounds—hands-on access to unreleased Pixel devices, Q&As with Googlers, and a stash of Pixel-themed goodies for the chosen few.All this, while the Pixel 9a has already made its way into users' hands.But here's the catch—only 25 fans get in. To secure a spot, invitees have to prove their Pixel smarts by answering a series of questions from Google.For years, Google stuck to October for Pixel launches. The problem? Apple drops iPhones in September, and many buyers don't wait—they just grab the latest iPhone, leaving Pixel overshadowed before it even hits shelves.To get ahead, Google pushed the Pixel 9 launch up by a month last year. Now, they're accelerating even more. By eyeing a June event, Google clearly wants to beat Apple to the punch before the iPhone 17 reveal in September.The Pixel 10 is expected to be powered by Google's Tensor G5 chip , with 12GB of RAM on the base model. The Pixel 10 Pro may offer up to 16GB of RAM.Early benchmarks show the Tensor G5 running Android 15, but the Pixel 10 series is likely to launch with Android 16 pre-installed.Leaks suggest a triple-lens camera setup on both Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, featuring a 64MP main sensor, a 64MP ultra-wide lens, and a 64MP periscope telephoto lens with up to 50x digital zoom.Design-wise, the Pixel 10 is reported to resemble the Pixel 9 Pro, including a horizontal camera bar across the range.

Facebook parent Meta becomes the latest American company to 'go nuclear' for AI
Meta has signed a 20-year agreement to secure nuclear power to meet the growing energy demands for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook's parent company. According to a report by Associated Press, the deal will also boost the output of Constellation Energy's Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois. Announced on June 3, the agreement is part of a broader trend of tech companies partnering with nuclear energy providers as AI usage surges. Financial terms were not disclosed. The Clinton plant, originally set to close in 2017 due to financial losses, was sustained by Illinois' zero-emission credit program, which expires in 2027, as per the report. The Meta deal, effective from June 2027, will increase the plant's clean energy output by 30 megawatts, preserve 1,100 local jobs, and generate $13.5 million in annual tax revenue, the companies said. 'Securing clean, reliable energy is necessary to continue advancing our AI ambitions,' Meta's head of global energy, Urvi Parekh, said. The report notes that tech giants face dual pressures: increasing energy supplies for AI and data centers while meeting ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals. Constellation, which owns the shuttered Three Mile Island plant, announced in September a plan to restart it to supply Microsoft's data centers, the AP reports. The Pennsylvania plant was the site of the U.S.' worst commercial nuclear accident in 1979. Amazon and Google have also invested in small nuclear reactors, with Amazon announcing plans two days after Google last fall, and Google investing in three advanced nuclear projects with Elementl Power last month, according to the report. The AP report adds that 25 states passed legislation supporting advanced nuclear energy last year, with over 200 nuclear-friendly bills introduced this year, per the Nuclear Energy Institute. However, the U.S. faces challenges in scaling nuclear production, with no next-generation reactors operating commercially and only two new large reactors built in nearly 50 years, completed significantly over budget and behind schedule in Georgia, the AP states. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are also investing in solar and wind energy, which produce no greenhouse gas emissions, the AP adds. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Meta becomes latest big tech company turning to nuclear power for its AI needs
Washington: Meta has cut a 20-year deal to secure nuclear power to help meet surging demand for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook's parent company. The investment with Meta will also expand the output of a Constellation Energy Illinois nuclear plant. The agreement announced Tuesday is just the latest in a string of tech-nuclear partnerships as the use of AI expands. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed. Constellation's Clinton Clean Energy Centre was actually slated to close in 2017 after years of financial losses but was saved by legislation in Illinois establishing a zero-emission credit program to support the plant into 2027. The Meta-Constellation deal takes effect in June of 2027, when the state's taxpayer funded zero-emission credit programme expires. With the arrival of Meta, Clinton's clean energy output will expand by 30 megawatts, preserve 1,100 local jobs and bring in $13.5 million in annual tax revenue, according to the companies. "Securing clean, reliable energy is necessary to continue advancing our AI ambitions," said Urvi Parekh, Meta's head of global energy. Constellation, the owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, said in September that it planned to restart the reactor so tech giant Microsoft could secure power to supply its data centres. Three Mile Island, located on the Susquehanna River just outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was the site of the nation's worst commercial nuclear power accident in 1979. Also last fall, Amazon said it was investing in small nuclear reactors, two days after a similar announcement by Google. Additionally, Google announced last month that it was investing in three advanced nuclear energy projects with Elementl Power. US states have been positioning themselves to meet the tech industry's power needs as policymakers consider expanding subsidies and gutting regulatory obstacles. Last year, 25 states passed legislation to support advanced nuclear energy, and lawmakers this year have introduced over 200 bills supportive of nuclear energy, according to the trade association Nuclear Energy Institute. Advanced reactor designs from competing firms are filling up the federal government's regulatory pipeline as the industry touts them as a reliable, climate-friendly way to meet electricity demands from tech giants desperate to power their fast-growing artificial intelligence platforms. Amazon, Google and Microsoft also have been investing in solar and wind technologies, which make electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions.
