July 4, 2026: The AI infrastructure race intensifies as Together AI's $800M raise (backed by Aramco Ventures) signals Gulf capital flowing directly into the AI compute supply chain. Meanwhile, two critical Microsoft vulnerabilities — SharePoint RCE and the BlueHammer Defender exploit — are both under active attack, with ransomware gangs weaponizing the security tools meant to stop them. Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5 pushes frontier model economics to $2/MTok, making production AI agents viable. The EU AI Act's August 2 enforcement deadline looms for any AI product touching European markets. In MENA, Zain's $1.5B Syria license and Qatar's satellite pact with Turkey mark the largest connectivity infrastructure investments the region has seen this year.
