How Much Water Does AI Use? Consumption Now Exceeds World’s Bottled Water, Suggests New Study
Anthropic has released an open-source tool called Bloom to test how AI models behave under normal and stressful conditions. Bloom automates behavioural testing by generating scenarios, running them at scale, and scoring responses for traits like bias or sycophancy. Anthropic says it simplifies a process that was previously manual and time-consuming...

Hubble Captures Gas Escaping Sideways Spiral Galaxy NGC 4388 in Virgo Cluster
Hubble has captured a glowing plume of gas escaping the spiral galaxy NGC 4388 in the Virgo cluster. Moving through hot intracluster gas, the galaxy sheds material, partially energised by its central black hole. Multi-wavelength observations reveal the impact of both environmental forces and central activity on galaxy evolution.
