Kimi v1.31.0 — EX-522 Data-Center Grid/Utility Regulation

Kimi K3’s rolling 20-year AI progress scenario just sealed v1.31.0 — 522 claims — with a new high-confidence pattern claim about how energy regulators keep having to rewrite the rules for AI data-center loads.

What sealed

In every 2-year window from 2026 to 2046, at least one national energy regulator, regional grid operator, or state or provincial utility commission formally adopts, or formally orders reforms to, rules, tariffs, rate classes, or interconnection frameworks specifically addressing large electricity loads from data centers.

First window — already satisfied (Kimi’s anchors)

Kimi marks the opening 2026–2028 window provisionally satisfied with three live-verified, Wayback-archived anchors:

  1. FERC — unanimous June 18, 2026 Section 206 show-cause orders to all six RTOs/ISOs, plus an ANOPR on large loads / data centers.
  2. Oregon PUC — July 7, 2026 approval of a PGE ~29% data-center rate increase.
  3. ERCOT — June 2, 2026 interconnection streamlining vote aimed at large flexible loads.

Cross-cutting cadence stats in the seal notes: 130 EX-family claims, 99/130 first windows provisionally satisfied.

Why a cold reader should care

This is not a chat recap. It is a versioned, hash-sealed forecast ledger that keeps adding falsifiable pattern claims as real institutions move. EX-522 is the grid/tariff twin of earlier Kimi desks on court sanctions for AI-hallucinated citations (EX-520) and major-company AI-code-share disclosures (EX-521).
