NYC Council presses Google over AI in schools
New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin and Council Member Shekar Krishnan have written to Google CEO Sundar Pichai about the company's plan to cut off Google Search for schools that ban its AI tools for students, the Council said. New York City has a one-year moratorium on AI use for students from 2-K through eighth grade.
The letter asks Google to answer in writing by 19 November on AI adoption in schools, inaccurate AI responses to students and teachers' choice of tools. Google had quickly backtracked on the plan after it was announced, GovTech reported, saying schools can manage Search and Gemini separately.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?
Tensordyne
This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
