We are opening the project to foster collaboration, gather feedback, and solicit contributions (e.g., on client renderers). Expect changes.At a Glance¶A2UI is currently v0.8, Apache 2.0 licensed, created by Google with contributions from CopilotKit and the open source community, and is in active development on GitHub.The problem A2UI solves is: how can AI agents safely send rich UIs across trust boundaries?Instead of text-only responses or risky code execution, A2UI lets agents send declarative component descriptions that clients render using their own native widgets.

That’s why data centres are peppered around the world, rather than being concentrated only in cooler countries like Norway or Sweden. Rest of World set out to document how many data centres globally are located in regions that are too hot for optimal operations. The industry standard for that range is 18ºC to 27ºC, recommended by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, or Ashrae. Cooler temperatures improve server operation efficiency; in hotter temperatures, data centres face significant challenges in cooling their facilities. We plotted temperature data from the Copernicus Climate Data Store, a project organized as part of the European Union’s efforts to open-source climate data against locations from Data Center Map, a widely referenced resource and marketplace for data centre-related services. We found that of the 8,808 operational data centres worldwide as of October 2025, nearly 7,000 are located in areas outside the optimal range. The vast majority are in regions with average temperatures that are colder than the range. Only 600, or less than 10% of all operational data centres, are located in areas where average annual temperatures are above 27ºC. However, our analysis, conducted with the help of nonprofit Climate Central, showed that in 21 countries— including Singapore, Thailand, Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates — all data centres are located in areas with average annual temperatures of above 27ºC. Nearly all data centers in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia are in regions that are too hot. Nearly half of Indonesia’s 170 data centres are in hot places, while in India — a key market for big tech and social media companies — about 30% are located in overly hot regions.
