Meta contractor contaminated Cheyenne's water, city says

A contractor building Meta's $800M AI data center campus in Cheyenne, Wyoming discharged Cupriavidus gilardii — a rare, multidrug-resistant bacterium with a 31% mortality rate — into the city's wastewater reuse system. The city traced the contamination to Goat Systems, a Meta subcontractor, after months of investigation. Cheyenne has since revoked the contractor's discharge privileges and suspended all data center wastewater discharge. The incident required draining and disinfecting the entire reuse system. Meta says its finished campus will use a closed-loop water recycling system and aims to be water-positive by 2030. The event adds to growing local resistance against data centers over environmental and infrastructure concerns, with over 1,400 data centers built or approved across 45 US states by end of 2025.

Hot French startup ZML releases free product to speed inference across lots of AI chips

ZML, a Paris-based AI startup backed by Yann LeCun and $20M in VC funding, has launched ZML/LLMD, a free LLM inference server designed to run open-source models across a wide range of AI chips — including Nvidia, AMD, Google TPU, Apple Metal, and Intel Arc. The goal is to eliminate vendor lock-in and help enterprises mix chip types for cost and energy efficiency. Unlike ZML's earlier open-source ML framework, LLMD is free but not open source, with monetization plans deferred until adoption is better understood. The startup competes with vLLM-backed Inferact, SGLang-backed RadixArk, and Baseten, but differentiates by targeting cross-chip compatibility and co-designing silicon with chip partners. ZML's 20-person team is notable for its angel investors including Docker/Dagger founder Solomon Hykes and Hugging Face co-founders.

Amazon returns to the bond market for at least $25bn to fund its AI build-out

Amazon has launched its largest bond sale of 2026, raising at least $25bn across eight tranches with maturities extending to 2066. The funds are earmarked for AI infrastructure including data centres and custom Trainium silicon, part of a broader $200bn capital spending plan for the year. Amazon's total borrowing since early 2025 has now exceeded $70bn across multiple currencies. Investor demand reached $62bn in orders before spreads tightened, leaving a final book of ~$41bn. The sale reflects a wider trend among hyperscalers — collectively guiding to over $650bn in AI capex in 2026 — that increasingly outpaces their operating cash flows. Analysts noted cooling demand compared to earlier offerings, signalling bond buyers are growing more selective as AI-linked debt accumulates in the market.

A £35bn plan to build 14 mini nuclear reactors in the UK

Polish billionaire Michał Sołowow's firm SGE has announced plans to build 14 GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 small modular reactors across three UK sites at an estimated cost of £35bn. The fleet would generate 4.2GW — enough for roughly 8 million homes or 11% of UK electricity demand — with a target of first power in 2034. The project is privately financed but seeks government-backed Contracts for Difference and National Wealth Fund engagement. The push is driven by surging power demand from AI data centres, EVs, and heat pumps. Key risks include the fact that no BWRX-300 reactor is commercially operational yet, and nuclear projects have a long history of delays and cost overruns.

Open, convenient and predictable: Introducing Provisioned Throughput

Together AI is launching Provisioned Throughput, a new inference tier that sits between serverless and dedicated GPU deployments. It offers reserved token capacity via Provisioned Throughput Units (PTUs) at $0.05 per PTU per minute, a 99% uptime SLA, and token-based pricing — without requiring customers to manage GPU infrastructure. Initially available for MiniMax M3 and GLM-5.2, it targets production workloads migrating from proprietary closed-model APIs, with costs claimed to be up to 90% lower than Claude Opus 4.8 at list price. Capacity is available in North America and EMEA with a one-month minimum commitment.
