Recent data releases from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT DR6) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI DR2) provide new insights into the viability of Early Dark Energy (EDE) as a resolution to the Hubble tension. In this talk, I will explore the implications of these recent measurements for EDE models. In particular, I will show that while ACT DR6 does not statistically prefer EDE over the standard ΛCDM model, it allows for a significantly larger maximum EDE contribution compared to previous constraints from Planck NPIPE, despite ACT’s improved precision on small angular scales. I will also discuss the role of prior volume effects in Bayesian analyses and highlight the importance of complementing Bayesian inference with frequentist approaches
