Medium launches TK, an AI writing assistant built into its editor

Medium released a new app called TK that embeds an AI assistant directly inside its writing editor. Users can invoke it by typing "@TK" followed by a request, and the tool can answer quick factual questions, retrieve previously saved notes, and offer editorial or headline feedback aligned with Medium's style guides.

Medium launches TK, a private note-taking and journaling app

Medium is releasing a new app called TK that blends note-taking and journaling with a private, social-network-like sharing feature. CEO Tony Stubblebine describes it as the company's biggest launch since 2017, when Medium shifted from an ad-driven model to subscriptions under then-CEO Ev Williams. The app lets users jot quick notes, retrieve them later, and share writing privately with friends or followers.

US medium-lift rocket race heats up as four new vehicles near debut

Thirteen years after Orbital Sciences' Antares first flew, four new American medium-lift rockets are in development, each built with domestically manufactured engines rather than relying on foreign hardware as Antares did. The push comes as SpaceX reportedly plans to stop selling Falcon 9 launches commercially as soon as 2028, leaving a gap in the 2-to-20-metric-ton launch class.

Data center power stacks buckle under AI's millisecond load swings, engineers warn

AI training campuses can swing 70% of their electrical load within milliseconds and disconnect just as abruptly to protect expensive compute hardware, a pattern conventional grid infrastructure was never designed to handle. Analysis of the setup shows the standard power stack—medium-voltage feeds, transformers, and uninterruptible power supplies—fails at three points: undersized battery buffers, converters run in bypass mode that let raw swings and grid transients pass unfiltered, and protection logic built for far smaller loads that trips offline at the worst possible moment. The 2024 Virginia grid disturbance was traced largely to this outdated protection logic disconnecting under stress.
