AWS triples its Nvidia commitment to 3M GPUs — the 1M order ran out early

AWS and Nvidia announced 2 million additional GPUs — Blackwell Ultra, Rubin and Rubin Ultra — for deployment across 2027–2028, taking the committed total from more than 1 million to more than 3 million. The earlier 1M commitment, made at GTC 2026 for deployment starting this year, was exhausted ahead of schedule. The deal also covers 100,000 GPUs of secure AI-factory capacity for the US government.

The 100% on ARC-AGI-3 is a harness result, not a model result — and only on the public set

NVIDIA's AVO agent scored 100.00 RHAE on ARC-AGI-3's 25-environment public set using Claude Opus 5, which scores 30.2% on its own. The held-out semi-private and private sets were not run. Headlines called it a perfect benchmark score for the model; it is a measurement of the scaffold, and the tracker does not record it.
