SpaceX’s $2.8B AI Power Bet, OpenAI’s Math Breakthrough, and the Rise of Medical AI Agents | UpNext AI – May 21, 2026
The AI race is increasingly becoming an infrastructure race. WIRED reports that SpaceX has committed more than $2.8 billion toward gas turbines to power AI data centers supporting Elon Musk’s xAI ambitions. According to the report, the company is rapidly expanding capacity as demand for AI compute collides with power grid constraints, highlighting that access to electricity may be as important as access to GPUs in the next phase of AI competition.
Meanwhile, OpenAI claims one of its reasoning models has produced a proof that disproves a geometry conjecture dating back to 1946. TechCrunch…
