Microsoft says CU1 will be released after it reaches a stable point and plans to wait for a month without a “pressing security payload,” so the timing remains uncertain.

The day’s biggest throughline wasn’t new model announcements—it was the messy, expensive reality of getting AI to run at scale, profitably, and reliably. Google Cloud shipped llm-d 1.0, a Kubernetes-native distributed inference layer that routes requests to pooled vLLM or SGLang servers, while Google also unveiled TorchTPU, a PyTorch-focused path for developers trying to move off Nvidia GPUs (notably, the pitch leans on PyTorch’s dominance, cited as 85% of AI apps). Off the hardware side, Dutch startup Photon Bridge raised €10 million to build laser tech for optical links in large AI clusters, targeting first samples in 2027 and volume manufacturing in 2028, and framing the bottleneck as a manufacturing-scale problem: millions of lasers per year, delivered via multiplexing designed for higher yield.
