Bill Gates-backed AirLoom begins building its first power plant

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-05 17:10:00

Wind power has run into some headwinds, and not the kind that spin its turbines. Recently, President Trump has decided to wage war against the technology, an unwelcome bit of friction that coincides with rising costs in recent years. Onshore wind power went for $61 per megawatt-hour last year, according to Lazard, bucking a decade-long downward trend. “We have a lot of headwinds,” acknowledges Neal Rickner, CEO of wind startup AirLoom Energy.

technologyreview.com Antonio Regalado 2025-09-05 21:00:00

“We haven’t designed or validated AlphaGenome for personal genome prediction, a known challenge for AI models,” Google said in a statement. Underlying the AI system is the so-called transformer architecture invented at Google that also powers large language models like GPT-4. This one was trained on troves of experimental data produced by public scientific projects. Lareau says the system will not broadly change how his lab works day to day but could permit new types of research. For instance,

“I remember we were building a micro-app like that and it took at least a month, now it takes 3 minutes.” I messaged a colleague after trying out Lovable and sharing what I (it?) made. “It’s truly shocking” he responded. Using Lovable for the first time was like taking my first Waymo ride.
