<li><strong>Meta goes big on AMD for AI infrastructure</strong>: Meta has inked a multiyear deal with AMD, reportedly worth up to $100 billion, to acquire MI540 GPUs and CPUs. This massive investment aims to add 6GW of compute capacity to accelerate AI model development, diversifying Meta’s AI compute stack beyond Nvidia. The agreement 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>Hetzner price hikes due to AI hardware demand</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 dramatic increases in hardware costs, specifically DRAM, NAND flash, and server CPUs, driven by the AI industry’s insatiable demand. This highlights how smaller providers, lacking the long-term vendor contracts of hyperscalers like AWS and Google, are directly passing these rising costs 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 for efficient inference without cloud processing, prioritizing low latency, privacy, and offline capability across mobile, web, and desktop platforms. It achieved 91.6% on the ScreenSpot-V2 GUI grounding benchmark, competing with much larger models, and could potentially reduce Siri’s reliance on Google Cloud. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qj9GoBvQx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pentagon demands Anthropic remove AI guardrails</strong>: The Pentagon is reportedly threatening Anthropic with a “supply chain risk” designation or the Defense Production Act if they don’t remove AI guardrails on Claude for military use. Because apparently, the DOD, despite a Biden-era directive to avoid single-vendor reliance, is now completely dependent on Anthropic for classified frontier AI access. Who needs ethical AI when you have national security, right? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/vbdfUwGoN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NPM supply chain attack targets AI coding tools</strong>: Socket researchers uncovered a new npm supply chain attack, SANDWORM_MODE, involving 19 typosquatted packages impersonating developer utilities and AI coding tools like Claude Code. The malware harvests tokens and credentials, deploying a malicious MCP server for prompt-injection attacks. The article’s title, “Shai-Hulud-style NPM worm hits CI pipelines and AI coding tools,” is a prime example of sensationalist clickbait, because nothing says serious security threat like a Dune reference. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/q6c2RLQKH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent browser sandbox announced for the future</strong>: A new project called “browser sandbox” was announced by <code>@nickscamara_</code> for creating a secure browser environment for AI agents with “zero config.” The announcement date is in the future (2026-02-24), and the information is truncated, which is always a great sign of a fully baked, non-promotional, and completely transparent project. Can’t wait for this future tech that’s already being announced. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/AY0JUdVv6" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
