The state of California opened its largest office complex on Wednesday, a $1.03 billion, 1.25 million-square-foot group of buildings on Richards Boulevard in Sacramento.
The May S. Lee State Office Complex will serve as a workplace for more than 5,000 state workers, including employees of the Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the Department of Health Care Access and Information, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the state’s Civil Rights Department, the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, the Department of Real Estate and the state Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
Built to a high level of sustainability, the complex features 90 EV charging stations and the largest all-electric kitchen in the country, according to California Department of General Services.
The complex is named after May S. Lee, the state’s longest serving worker, who died last year at age 102. She worked for 79 years for the state of California.

The last year has seen e-bike startups VanMoof and Cake file for bankruptcy amid a backdrop of micromobility doom and gloom. Bloom, a new Detroit-based startup, thinks it has the answer: take on all the hard, behind-the-scenes work and let these startups focus on the exciting stuff, like product design and branding. It's an idea that founders Chris Nolte and Justin Kosmides are so passionate about that they packed up and moved to Detroit to build it -- Nolte with his 1-year old child and spouse in tow, and Kosmides with his four-pawed companion Artie.
Amazon is launching a new tool, Bedrock Studio, designed to let organizations experiment with generative AI models, collaborate on those models, and ultimately build generative AI-powered apps. Available in public preview starting today, the web-based Bedrock Studio -- a part of Bedrock, Amazon's generative AI tooling and hosting platform -- provides what Amazon describes in a blog post as a "rapid prototyping environment" for generative AI. Bedrock Studio guides developers through the steps to evaluate, analyze, fine-tune and share generative AI models from Anthropic, Cohere, Mistral, Meta and other Bedrock partners, as well as test different model settings and guardrails and integrate outside data sources and APIs.

GitHub on Tuesday announced that Copilot Chat, its AI chat interface for asking coding-related questions and code generation, is now generally available in its mobile app. At first glance, a mobile app may not be the most obvious place to use GitHub's Copilot Chat. As Mario Rodriguez, GitHub's recently promoted SVP of Product, told me, the mobile app is already very popular for performing tasks like starring repos and some of the social features GitHub has to offer.
OpenAI says that it's developing a tool to let creators better control how their content's used in training generative AI. The tool, called Media Manager, will allow creators and content owners to identify their works to OpenAI and specify how they want those works to be included or excluded from AI research and training. The goal is to have the tool in place by 2025, OpenAI says, as the company works with "creators, content owners and regulators" toward a standard -- perhaps through the industry steering committee it recently joined.
