Meta is stepping up its efforts to boost AI capabilities by forming a new partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The deal will see Meta deploying tens of millions of AWS Graviton5 cores, a type of CPU designed for high-performance workloads. Each Graviton5 chip packs 192 cores, and Meta plans to expand this deployment as
Meta is ramping up its AI infrastructure with a new deal to deploy millions of AWS Graviton5 cores. This move boosts Meta’s ability to handle complex, agentic AI workloads and signals a focus on balancing scale with system control. The partnership will see “tens of millions” of these chips integrated into Meta’s AI projects, including
Syenta, an Australian company developing new ways to connect chips inside AI systems, has secured $26 million in a Series A funding round. The company was founded by Dr. Jekaterina Viktorova and grew out of research at the Australian National University. Its technology aims to solve a growing problem in AI: the bottleneck that occurs
Amazon announced a new $5 billion investment in the AI startup Anthropic. While the money is significant, experts say the move is mainly about increasing the company’s computing capacity. This boost aims to address Anthropic’s current infrastructure challenges while strengthening their partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Expanding AI Infrastructure to Support Growth As part
Apple Silicon is on the verge of a major leap forward. The company is likely to be the first to incorporate revolutionary chips at the 1.4- and 1-nanometer scale. If successful, this will keep Macs, iPhones, and iPads ahead of the competition in performance and energy efficiency. Experts believe TSMC is working on developing these
The global shortage of memory chips continues to impact the tech industry, with supply struggling to keep up with rising demand. The surge is mainly driven by the rapid growth of artificial intelligence applications and other high-tech sectors. Despite plans to boost production, most manufacturers are only able to meet around 60% of the worldwide
nEye.ai, a startup based in Silicon Valley, is working on a bold idea: as AI systems grow bigger, the bottleneck won’t be the chips themselves but the data connections between them. The company’s innovation involves integrating optical switches directly into data center hardware, making data transfer faster and more efficient. Recently, they announced raising $80

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, often recalls the moment he personally delivered an AI supercomputer to OpenAI back in 2016. That machine included Nvidia’s CUDA toolkit, which played a crucial role in transforming early AI experiments into the powerful applications we see today. Huang credits CUDA as the backbone of Nvidia’s success in AI
The U.S. government has unexpectedly pulled back on a plan to regulate the export of artificial intelligence chips worldwide. The proposal, released earlier this week by the Commerce Department, surprised many in the tech industry. Chips are a crucial part of AI systems, and restricting their export could have big implications for how AI develops
