US data centers could outconsume Germany and JapanBloombergNEF projects U.S. data centers may consume about 18 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas by 2035—more than Germany and Japan combined. Onsite plants add 2.9–3.4 bcf/day and grid-connected growth could add ~15 bcf/day, potentially raising gas prices and utility costs.

The 2026 Inference Hardware RevolutionBy 2026 the AI focus shifted from training to inference: reasoning models, chain-of-thought outputs and agentic AI have sharply increased inference load, prompting vendors like Tensordyne to build inference chips (Napier) and Nvidia to call it an "inflection point of inference" at GTC 2026. Data centers and vendors are adjusting products and investments for continuous, high-volume inference.

Ordewell: ordered plans of coding-agent tasksOrdewell turns one goal into an editable, typed plan of tasks where each task has its own runner, model, and mode and only completes when a unique completion marker appears. Plans can be rewritten before tokens are spent, preserve completed work, and support multiple runners (built-in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode). Requires Node.js ≥20 and the TUI needs tmux.
