Amazon Web Services leadership has issued a mandate to conserve CPU cycles as AI workloads strain the company’s cloud infrastructure, with reports of exploding wait times for CPU server capacity (IEEE Spectrum). The pressure reflects broader infrastructure challenges as inference demand scales across the industry.

OpenAI dissolved its “Preparedness” team, which evaluated whether the company’s own AI models could pose catastrophic risks, reassigning its work to other groups (The Decoder). Separately, Anthropic disclosed that its internal filtering system for biological and chemical weapons risks was inactive for nearly a year, during which approximately 133 million unfiltered interactions with its models occurred (The Decoder).
