Sam Altman-backed fusion startup Helion is in talks with OpenAI. The potential deal involves selling 12.5% of Helion's power output to OpenAI. This addresses AI's massive energy demands for training and inference.
Seattle-area startups Helion and Zap are racing to develop commercial fusion energy to meet the massive power demands of AI data centers. The industry is shifting toward smaller-scale reactors and hybrid nuclear strategies to hit a 2028 deployment target.
China has successfully completed the world's largest fusion reactor superconducting magnet, a 582-ton toroidal field coil. Additionally, they tested a domestically produced high-temperature superconducting solenoid with world-leading performance.
Chinese researchers are leveraging AI to overcome the 'impossible triangle' of fusion energy simulation, which traditionally forces a trade-off between speed, accuracy, and computational cost. This approach aims to accelerate the development cycle of clean energy by optimizing plasma simulation software.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faced questions about his stake in fusion startup Helion Energy during testimony in the Musk v. Altman trial. Separately, Congress raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest.
Helion is developing a downsized 'Tiny Merge' fusion testbed at its Everett R&D facility to validate key technologies. The compact setup aims to accelerate progress toward aggressive deadlines set by Microsoft.
Helion Energy CFO Prag Jain explains how fusion energy could meet surging AI infrastructure power demands. Discussion with Bloomberg’s Lynn Doan at Bloomberg Invest 2026 in New York.
General Fusion has become the first fusion energy company to go public on a major exchange. This milestone coincides with a broader industry trend, as global funding for fusion energy projects reached $4.5 billion.
General Fusion has officially listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker 'GFUZ', marking the first time a fusion energy company has gone public. This milestone highlights the growing capital interest in clean energy infrastructure.
General Atomics is building a new facility in San Diego to test fusion breeding blankets. These components are essential for enabling nuclear fusion reactors to generate power while producing their own fuel.
