<li><strong>Meta goes big on AMD for AI infrastructure</strong>: Meta has inked a massive multiyear deal with AMD, reportedly worth up to $100 billion, to acquire MI540 GPUs and CPUs. This move aims to significantly expand Meta’s data center capacity by 6GW, accelerating its AI model development and diversifying its compute stack beyond Nvidia. The agreement also includes a performance-based warrant for AMD to issue Meta up to 160 million shares, contingent on AMD’s stock reaching $600. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/vYZNsZv8f" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI demand drives significant price hikes at Hetzner</strong>: Hetzner, a major European cloud provider, is hiking prices by up to 50% starting April 1, 2026, across all regions. The company attributes this to a dramatic surge in hardware costs, particularly for DRAM, NAND flash, and server CPUs, driven by the insatiable demand from the AI industry. This highlights a growing divide, as hyperscalers like AWS and Google are insulated by long-term vendor contracts, while smaller providers are forced to pass these costs directly to users. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/van1jyyDC" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Apple unveils on-device UI AI model</strong>: Apple researchers introduced Ferret-UI Lite, a lightweight, 3B-parameter multimodal AI model designed for on-device UI understanding and interaction. This model aims to enable visual perception and control of user interfaces directly on mobile, web, and desktop platforms, prioritizing low latency, privacy, and offline capability. It contrasts with larger, cloud-dependent GUI agents and could potentially reduce Siri’s reliance on external cloud services. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qj9GoBvQx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Pentagon demands Anthropic remove AI guardrails</strong>: The Pentagon issued an ultimatum to Anthropic: remove AI guardrails on Claude for unrestricted military use or face designation as a ‘supply chain risk.’ Anthropic, apparently still clinging to quaint notions of ethics, refuses to allow its AI to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. Because, you know, a single vendor for classified frontier AI access is totally a robust strategy, especially when that vendor has a conscience. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/vbdfUwGoN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft and Salesforce confirm vague AI suspicions</strong>: Microsoft Research and Salesforce AI apparently analyzed over 200,000 AI conversations and confirmed “industry suspicions.” What suspicions? What findings? Who knows! The social media post from @rryssf_ is a masterclass in generating curiosity without delivering a single piece of actual information. It’s almost as if they’re trying to prove that AI can generate clickbait just as effectively as humans. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/FAzFsVs8B" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Future project promises secure AI agent browser sandbox</strong>: A new project called “browser sandbox” was announced by <code>@nickscamara_</code> for AI agents to interact with the web in a “secure” and “zero config” environment. The announcement date is in the future, which is always a great sign for a project’s immediate availability and concrete details. It’s almost like they’re pre-announcing a pre-announcement for something that might eventually exist, maybe. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/AY0JUdVv6" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
