Version: Retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 (SHA-256 928dbbff2ee3df5da04a0885c70a80d180bd0bf86fab97d8ce31961d45613d3b). Release page as served on 2026-10-28; "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 8, 2026". A state government release quoting xAI's chief executive; xAI's own site (x.ai) refuses direct retrieval. Retrieved again at admission on 2026-10-30 (SHA-256 3d61a71935560c2dc81ae494898c086df3dccdca5417830fb8d04e0973ec0c20). Its wording can change; earlier wording is not authenticated.

Attribution: Office of Governor Tate Reeves (State of Mississippi), “Tech leader xAI investing more than $20 billion in Southaven”, 2026-01-08.
Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.
Check notes: Candidate pack passage, compute, power and orbit (research/compute-power-orbit). The quotation (10 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 and again at admission on 2026-10-30, in a fresh retrieval (SHA-256 3d61a71935560c2dc81ae494898c086df3dccdca5417830fb8d04e0973ec0c20; the bytes differ from the pack’s retrieval). Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-29/30, item 29) answered the record’s question blind from fresh retrievals and agreed with the record. No human editorial review.
