Here's your morning TNB Tech minute for Tuesday, February 24th. I'm Julie Chang for the Wall Street Journal. Meta has agreed to buy 6 gigawatts of AI computing power from Advanced Micro Devices in a deal worth over 100 billion dol. The five year deal announced today is AMD's move to challenge Nvidia in the GPU market. Meta will purchase enough of AMD's latest chips to power data centers and is expected to deploy the first gigawatt this year. Under the arrangement, AMD has agreed to give Meta warrants to buy up to 160 million AMD shares, or about 10% of the company for a penny apiece, as long as certain milestones are met. Last week, Meta said it would buy several million of Nvidia's GPUs as well. We exclusively report that Apple will move some Mac Mini desktop computer production from asia to the U.S. apple's COO told the Wall Street Journal that the reshoring effort will begin later this year at a Foxconn facility in North Houston. The move is part of Apple's pledge, announced last summer to invest $600 billion in the US over four years. Apple's spending commitment, like similar ones from dozens of companies, come after pressure from the Trump administration to dial up domestic investment. In return, those companies would get tariff exemptions. News Corp. Owner of the Journal, has a commercial agreement to supply news through Apple Services, and Anthropic launched new updates to Claude Cowork today. Cowork is a platform that lets users build AI agents that understand company context and can connect to a host of enterprise apps like Slack. On Tuesday, Anthropic announced additional integrations with Google Apps, including Gmail, as well as DocuSign, LegalZoom and others. Anthropic also announced new plugins or customizable agents for workflows across financial analysis, investment banking, equity research and other areas. It expands upon its previously announced plugins for the legal sector. That's your TMB Tech Minute. Join us again this afternoon for more.

What does proactive AI auditing look like in practice? Here's Steve Soder, vice president and industry principal at workiva.

Well, I think auditing has traditionally been a backward looking exercise. The reality, though, is that the value that an AI auditor and this type of governance is going to bring to a business is looking forward. The paradigm shift is being able to proactively address risks by skating to the puck, as opposed to ending up being behind the curve as the risks emerge. One is proactive, the other is reactive, and it's the proactivity that's going to make this successful.
