Meta has signed a multibillion-dollar, multi-year agreement with Amazon Web Services to deploy tens of millions of Graviton5 ARM CPU cores for artificial intelligence workloads. This procurement is part of a broader $200 billion initiative that includes significant investments from Nvidia, AMD, CoreWeave, Nebius, and Broadcom. The Graviton5 chips, which are not AI accelerators but general-purpose processors, will support CPU-intensive tasks essential for agentic AI, such as real-time reasoning and multi-step orchestration. Meta is renting this compute capacity as its demand for AI compute has outstripped individual supply capabilities, even with a capital expenditure of $115 billion to $135 billion this year. The deal marks a shift in Meta's relationship with Amazon, turning previous small-scale use of Graviton into a critical infrastructure dependency. The agreement is set to last for at least three years and includes options for expansion.

Anthropic Unveils Claude Mythos: A Revolutionary AI Cyberweapon
Anthropic has announced the launch of Claude Mythos, a groundbreaking AI model designed for cybersecurity that can autonomously identify and exploit vulnerabilities. Under the restricted access program 'Project Glasswing', the model has demonstrated the ability to discover previously unknown Zero-Day vulnerabilities and develop complex exploits in under 120 seconds. Key features include Iterative Vulnerability Discovery, which utilizes dynamic reinforcement learning to analyze vulnerabilities in real-time, Autonomous Exploit Chaining to create invisible attack paths, and Adaptive Obfuscation that generates polymorphic code, making detection through traditional methods obsolete. The capabilities of Claude Mythos significantly surpass previous models, with faster identification times and higher functional exploit rates, signaling a dramatic shift in the cybersecurity landscape towards an 'AI vs. AI' era.
