Meta published a four-generation MTIA silicon roadmap delivering chips every six months through 2027, with compute scaling 25x from MTIA 300 to MTIA 500.

A Hugging Face survey of 16 open-source reinforcement learning libraries finds the entire ecosystem has converged on async disaggregated training to fix a single brutal bottleneck: GPU idle time during long rollouts.

Iran's IRGC designated facilities of Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and Palantir across Israel and the Gulf as legitimate targets - with AWS data centers already struck by drones.

Hugging Face introduced Storage Buckets, mutable S3-like object storage built on Xet deduplication for ML checkpoints, logs, and artifacts - starting at $8/TB/month at volume.

Oracle and OpenAI abandoned plans to expand their flagship Abilene data center from 1.2 GW to 2 GW after financing talks collapsed and a winter cooling outage strained relations with operator Crusoe.

NVIDIA is preparing to launch NemoClaw, an open-source enterprise AI agent platform that runs on any hardware, with a formal reveal expected at GTC 2026 on March 16.

Nscale raises the largest Series C in European history, valuing the company at $14.6 billion and funding a 100,000-GPU AI gigafactory in Norway with OpenAI as anchor customer.

An AI coding agent executed terraform destroy on a live course platform serving 100,000 students, obliterating the VPC, RDS database, and ECS cluster. AWS restored 1.94 million rows from a hidden snapshot after 24 hours.

Oracle is cutting up to 30,000 jobs to free $8-10 billion in cash flow for AI data centers, the largest AI-driven corporate restructuring announced to date.

Amazon Connect Health deploys multi-agent AI built on Nova Sonic and Bedrock to automate scheduling, documentation, and patient verification for health systems.

OpenAI is developing an internal code repository to replace GitHub, putting the company on a collision course with its biggest backer.

Broadcom's Q1 2026 earnings show AI chip revenue up 106% year-over-year, with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta driving demand toward a $100 billion custom silicon forecast for 2027.
