SpaceX is reportedly in discussions to supply the U.S. Department of Defense with massive data center capacity for AI workloads, expanding a partnership that already includes launches, Starlink, and missile tracking. The move could reshape military cloud computing and raise strategic dependencies on a single vendor.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has announced a legal challenge against the Pentagon's unprecedented decision to label the AI firm a national security supply chain risk. While the designation bars Anthropic's Claude models from direct Department of Defense contracts, the company and its cloud partners maintain that the ruling does not affect broader commercial availability.
Drone strikes have damaged three Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers in the UAE and Bahrain, marking a significant escalation in the targeting of commercial tech infrastructure during regional conflicts. The attacks, linked to the ongoing US-Israeli confrontation with Iran, have caused structural damage and service disruptions, highlighting the physical vulnerability of the global cloud.
