<li><strong>AWS data centers hit by drone strikes in Middle East</strong>: Amazon Web Services facilities in the UAE and Bahrain suffered structural damage and power disruptions following Iranian drone and missile attacks on March 3, 2026.

AWS has warned of a prolonged recovery period as fire suppression systems caused additional water damage to server racks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/rar5XOK6I" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic launches programmatic tool calling to slash latency</strong>: Anthropic introduced Programmatic Tool Calling (PTC) for Claude Opus and Sonnet 4.6, allowing the model to execute complex multi-step tool orchestrations within a sandboxed container. By keeping intermediate results out of the main context window, PTC reduces input token bloat by 24% and significantly improves accuracy on search-heavy tasks. This architectural shift addresses the ‘token tax’ typically associated with agentic workflows by returning only the final processed output to the LLM. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0Sd168FyP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
