The first generation of enterprise AI projects taught businesses how to retrieve information. A user asks a question, the system finds relevant context, and a model turns it into an answer.
AI agents change that equation because they retrieve information dynamically and adjust their own state in the process. As tasks evolve they juggle everything from plan development, and outbound tool calls, to updating records, and recording results.
Multiply that activity across hundreds or thousands of agents and the data layer starts behaving very differently - with significant implications for both cost and accuracy. These implications are becoming major considerations when moving agentic AI projects from pilot to production.
Why pilots can hide the real costMemory becomes an operational systemEarly pilots tend to be narrow by design. Typically, there’s one team working with a limited dataset and relatively simple, short-lived interactions. Take as an example requesting a summary of a document. The model completes a request and that task is done. Here, model access, tokens, and context retrieval appear to account for most of the bill.
When shifting from passive chatbots to multi-agent systems, however, the economics flip. Traditional generative AI costs scale linearly with users, whilst the cost of running multi-agent deployments tends to escalate with task complexity. Proof-of-concept expenditure typically multiplies as tasks become more complex.
For example, AWS puts a text-based proof of concept handling about 100 interactions a day at around $40 a month. Its estimate for an agent-based proof of concept using a knowledge base and guardrails at roughly the same volume is around $840 a month. Anthropic's write-up on its multi-agent research supports this finding.
The data shows multi-agent systems use 15x more tokens than chat interactions and that economic viability requires the value of the task to be high enough to justify the expense.
In multi-agent systems, therefore, it’s easy to see why costs accrue. Agents use dynamic loops, tool calls, retries, and context transfers to complete a task. But there’s another important dimension - agents need to remember and reason across increasing volumes of data.
Agents have longer operational lives than a typical chatbot session. They have to remember yesterday's actions, preserve the evidence behind a decision, and make that information available to other agents in the fleet. Every completed task becomes a new state.
As the agent fleet grows, the business is paying not only for the next answer but also for the expanding operational provenance required to operate efficiently, and safely.
Early generative AI systems often treated memory as context - retrieved when required. Persistent agents create a different requirement. Memory becomes a live operational system that is constantly updated.
That matters for both performance and cost. A narrow write path can create contention as more agents update records. Separate copies of the same context increase storage and synchronization work, and keeping every historical record on the fastest storage tier makes rarely used information unnecessarily expensive.
When designing the data layer to support agentic fleets, the service level dictates how memory is accessed and managed. Leaders should establish how quickly each kind of memory must be available, who can update it, which agents should share it, and how long must it remain immediately accessible.
Designing memory for a fleet of agentsThree main principles will become increasingly important as the variety and complexity of agent deployments grows.
The first is concurrency. Leaders should ask whether write capacity can grow as the number of agents grows. Infrastructure designed mainly for read-heavy applications may behave very differently once large numbers of autonomous processes start updating state at the same time.
The second is shared memory. If several agents are working on the same customer, asset, or process, creating separate copies of the same context can introduce cost and inconsistency. A common source of state can make collaboration easier, provided access controls and provenance remain clear.
The third is separating active memory from historical memory. An agent may need the last few minutes of a workflow immediately, while records from six months ago might only be required for an audit or an unusual query. Treating those two categories identically is an expensive default.
Frequently accessed state can remain close to the compute layer, while older information moves to lower-cost durable storage. Compute can then scale according to current activity rather than the total memory accumulated since the system was launched.
How historical changes are stored poses a similar question. Saving every full version of a record makes retrieval straightforward but consumes more capacity. Saving only incremental changes uses less space, but reconstructing an old state can take longer. Periodic snapshots combined with smaller changes between them can offer a useful middle ground.
What to establish before scalingThese read like technical considerations, but they set the economic model for the deployment, and they are cheaper to resolve before an agent fleet expands than after.
Once it is accepted that agents create information as well as consume it, earlier design choices become measurable rather than abstract. For example, how much state each agent writes and how often; how many agents may update the same customer, asset, or workflow at once; how much memory needs immediate access versus cheaper durable storage after a day, a week, or a month; and whether context can be shared safely rather than copied per agent.
Each of these steps carries a cost, and together they determine the figure that decides viability at scale - the cost per task is both the number of agents and the volume of retained memory.
Resolving these considerations before expansion changes the design of the pilot. A team can test the write load, retention rules, and the expected sharing model in production while the system is still small, which is the point at which hidden costs are both visible and cheap to fix.
AI economics start below the modelEven if model prices continue to fall and inference becomes more efficient, large-scale agent deployments will still create a growing stream of operational data that has to be written, shared, protected, retrieved, and retained.
The cost of that activity will depend heavily on the architecture underneath the model, but companies planning the next stage of AI adoption should measure the whole lifecycle of an agent task, including the memory it leaves behind. Doing that before a pilot becomes a fleet gives technology leaders a much clearer view of whether an AI system will remain economical when it reaches production scale.

Usually, software bugs are fixed quite quickly, but for weeks now, some Android Auto users have been experiencing a frustrating glitch that causes their phone’s cellular signal icon to disappear from the Android Auto display.
This hasn’t happened to every Android Auto user, and for some users, it’s been an intermittent bug, with the icon sometimes present and sometimes disappearing. But it’s annoying enough and widespread enough that Google has officially commented on it.
As spotted by 9to5Google, a representative for the company posted on Reddit that: “We’re aware of reports about the missing cellular signal, and we’re actually currently rolling out a fix that should hopefully address this issue! The fix isn’t widely available yet, though, so it may take some time to reach your device – if you want to receive it sooner, though, you can enroll in the Android Auto beta.”
Thankfully, it seems you no longer need to enroll in the beta to get the issue fixed, as many users report that Android Auto 17.8 addresses the problem, and the stable version of this OS package is now rolling out.
(Image credit: Future)How to fix this Android Auto bugSo, if you’re experiencing this bug, you should definitely download the latest version of Android Auto. To do so, just head to the Google Play Store on your phone, type ‘Android Auto’ into the search bar, and hit the update button on it if one is present.
If there’s no update available, your phone may have already automatically downloaded version 17.8, but to check which version you’re running, head to Settings > Apps (or Apps & notifications). Then, just scroll down to Android Auto, tap on it, and the version number should be at the bottom of this screen. Alternatively, you should be able to see the version at the bottom of the settings screen inside the Android Auto app.
If you’re running version 17.8, then this should fix the issue, but if you’re still experiencing the bug, it’s worth clearing Android Auto’s cache. To do this, head to Settings > Apps > Android Auto again, and this time tap ‘Storage,’ followed by ‘Clear cache.’
And if your phone isn’t running Android Auto 17.8 and there aren’t any updates available, your best option is probably just to wait and check again over the next few days. However, if you can’t wait, there’s always the option of sideloading it from a legitimate site like APKMirror.
To do this, just download the relevant file to your phone, then find it in your phone’s file manager app, and tap on it to begin the installation process. However, while this should generally be safe, we’d still, in most cases, recommend waiting for the update to be rolled out to you through official channels.
For over a decade, enterprise cybersecurity was built on a straightforward setup: a human user sits behind a screen, authenticates and carries out tasks within a session.
Traditional identity and access management (IAM) frameworks were designed around this single assumption. They validated credentials at login, established a trusted perimeter for the duration of the session, and monitored subsequent activity.
But the emergence of the agentic enterprise is challenging that assumption.
The issue facing modern internet security operations is no longer just whether an identity was verified during initial access. As autonomous software agents, coding assistants, and automated workflows are beginning to operate across cloud environments, code repositories, APIs and internal systems are dealing with a level of speed and autonomy that traditional controls were not designed to manage.
The issue now is whether organizations can see, govern and control what happens after access is granted, especially when the actor is software making decisions in real time.
Attackers increasingly exploit systems through the path of least resistance, rather than searching for complex technical vulnerabilities. This makes stolen or compromised login credentials a prime target, allowing attackers to look legitimate when gaining access without needing sophisticated attack methods.
At the same time, shadow AI, short-lived credentials and machine-driven actions are expanding the attack surface. As enterprises continue to deploy AI tools faster than many security teams can secure them, visibility gaps and governance blind spots will persist.
Where traditional IAM failsOne of the biggest challenges to securing the agentic enterprise is that traditional identity controls are too static for machines which operate continuously. Legacy IAM and privileged access tools are effective at validating access at a point in time. But AI systems do not authenticate and stop. They make choices, invoke tools and change systems after the initial login has been triggered. This creates a need for identity controls which evaluate behavior in context as actions occur, not just at login.
Poor visibility across agentic systems is another barrier. Many organizations still lack a clear inventory of which AI agents exist, what data they can access, who approved them and what actions they are taking on whose behalf. When agents are distributed across fragmented cloud and SaaS environments, those questions become harder to answer and security blind spots grow quickly.
Finally, credential exposure presents a significant risk. In human-led systems, long-lived secrets, shared credentials and broad delegated access are already problematic. They become even riskier when handed to autonomous or semi-autonomous tools operating at machine speed. Security leaders need a model that reduces that exposure, improves attribution and preserves a clear chain of accountability back to a human owner or policy decision.
Securing the human-AI workforceNavigating this new threat landscape means evolving enterprise security from a system designed primarily for human administrators into infrastructure that can support humans and artificial identities together. This is the broader shift behind IAM infrastructure for the agentic enterprise: making identity easier to operate programmatically, governing AI agents across their lifecycle and evaluating trust continuously as actions occur.
One part of that shift is governance. Organizations need to identify AI agents, assign ownership, define boundaries and understand what those agents are allowed to do. Another necessary shift is runtime trust: ensuring access is evaluated in context and that risky behavior can be contained quickly without relying on static credentials or blind trust. The final part of this change is operability. As more work moves into APIs, terminals, orchestration layers and AI-assisted workflows, identity management systems need to be easier to use beyond the admin console.
Organizations need to treat this as a key operational design matter, moving beyond asking only who logged in and start asking what is acting in the environment, what it is authorized to do and whether teams can intervene when risk changes.
Securing identities at machine speedThe agentic enterprise is no longer theoretical. AI systems are already influencing operations and decision-making across the business.
The challenge for cybersecurity leaders is not to restrict what these systems can do outright. It is to ensure they operate safely, accountably and within clear enterprise guardrails. As unglamorous as it may be, governance is going to be one of the most important factors in determining if a company succeeds or fails in the long run with its AI programmes.
Organisations which can effectively operate and secure AI will be the ones that build identity, accountability and runtime control into the operating fabric of the enterprise from the start. Innovation must be made governable, without being stifled and the organizations that get this right will be better positioned to use AI with confidence.

• Browse the full Prime Big Deal Days sale
I've spent the last ten years covering Prime Day sales, which may be an unnecessarily long amount of time, but it also means I've learnt how to make the most of each one. This Prime Big Deal Days sale is effectively the same thing in all but name, with another 48 hours of offers that are exclusive to Amazon Prime members across tech and toys to fashion and essentials.
I've found it's always one of the better times of the year to pick up Amazon devices, and that's no clearer with some of the price cuts to Kindles, Ring doorbells, Blink cameras, Fire TVs, and so on. One of the highlights I've spotted already is the Amazon Kindle for £84.99 (was £134.99) — that's the lowest price this year.
I've also found dozens of excellent offers in many other categories. I've summarised the highlights below, but some I want to shout out in particular are the Nintendo Switch 2 for a record-low price, this five-star Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer for £129.99 (was £199.99), and the fantastic Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Headphones for £134 (was £169).
Expect many more live updates from me and the rest of the expert TechRadar team throughout the day as we guide you through the sale and hand-pick our favourite offers. Even amidst price hikes and stock issues in some categories, the sale looks like a solid preview of what we might see in this year's upcoming Black Friday deals in November.
Just remember, you need an Amazon Prime membership to access most of these offers, but new and returning subscribers can get a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to cover you for the sale.

It's a huge 11L model that's considerably cheaper than many smaller options I've seen in the sale. We haven't personally reviewed this model at TechRadar, but it's from a trusted brand and down to the lowest price since Black Friday for Prime Day.View Deal
AF300UK Air Fryer: was £199.99 now £123.49
The Ninja AF300UK 7.6L model is down to its lowest price all year at Amazon right now. It's definitely worth it at this price, given we awarded it the full five stars in our Ninja AF300UK review. It's smaller than some of the largest models but a good option if you don't need as much space and want to spend less. We particularly praised the multiple settings, the ability to sync cooking times and the quality of the food it made.View Deal
Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer: was £229.99 now £161.45
The Ninja Foodi Max is the ultimate air fryer for many and it's now down to a great low price at Amazon. It offers six different functions, including Max Crisp, air frying, roasting, baking, reheating, and dehydrating. With two baskets, you get two independent cooking zones with the option to have them sync or match up, depending on your needs. Its extra large capacity is perfect for family cooking or batch cooking as it gives you plenty of room for a 2kg chicken or 1.4kg of fries in each compartment.View Deal
Crispi: was £149.99 now £109.99
Here's a best-ever discount on Ninja's portable air fryer — and a great Prime Day deal. This bundle includes the PowerPod lid, plus two resealable glass containers to carry your dishes until you're ready to cook. According to our testing, it cooks exceptionally quickly, is easy to use and a breeze to clean, making this one of the best air fryer deals I've seen this year.View Deal
The Nespresso Vertuo Next is a small and convenient pod coffee machine — and it's now back to its lowest price this year. With multiple drinks in multiple sizes available at the touch of a button, it could be the ideal no-fuss pick for your home, your room or a shared kitchen if you're at uni.View Deal
Promising simplicity of use, the De'Longhi Magnifica Evo has a straightforward touch control panel that allows you to brew your favourite cup of coffee with the minimum amount of effort. It also has a silent integrated grinder with 13 settings, plus a handy milk frother, so it’s a good all-in-one solution for those who love a cup of joe but want to skip all the faff of making the drink. We liked it enough in our De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Next review, in which we awarded it four stars out of five.View Deal
Sage makes some of the best coffee machines we've ever tested here at TechRadar, so I definitely want to shout out this offer on its excellent The Barista Express. We awarded it 4.5 stars in our review for its ease of use, bevvy of customisable settings and tasty results. While it's still a pricey machine, it's worth the investment if you really want to get into your coffee-making at home.View Deal
We may be about to hit the colder months, but the Ninja Creami ice cream maker is still a quick and convenient way to make all of your favourite frozen treats, milkshakes and sorbets at the touch of a button. While it was a little cheaper than this last Black Friday, today's offer is the best I've seen all year for the popular appliance.View Deal
Artisan Stand Mixer: was £549 now £319.99
KitchenAid is a mainstay in the Bake Off tent and still the leader when it comes to high-quality stand mixers – but they do come with a hefty upfront cost. This healthy £230 discount on the premium Artisan model definitely takes the sting out, though. It comes with a stainless steel bowl and three attachments for mixing, kneading and beating – everything the amateur or intermediate baker needs for the kitchen.View Deal
Aquatak 120: was £109.99 now £82.99
I did a lot of research before picking up this pressure washer for myself a couple of years ago and it's been an excellent buy for simple cleaning tasks around the home, such as patios, decking, walls and cars. While we haven't tested this model at TechRadar, it's been praised elsewhere for its solid build quality, strong water pressure and portability. You also get a good selection of attachments in this bundle, including a patio cleaner, wash brush and detergent nozzle.View Deal
Battery Video Doorbell + Ring Indoor Camera: was £119.98 now £39.99
This excellent value bundle includes the latest version of the Ring Video Doorbell and a Ring Indoor Camera for a cheap and easy way to get started with home security. We've tested these and have been impressed with the video quality, high zoom, and night vision colour, but it's a shame that some of this device's value is only usable with a Ring Protect subscription. However, if you're fine with paying for a subscription or already using a Ring-based home security system, it's worth the cost.View Deal
The new Blink Mini 2K+ has a couple of nice upgrades compared to the previous model, including a built-in spotlight, night view in colour support and the option to use it outdoors with the weather-resistant adaptor. Aside from that, it offers the same raft of security features such as motion detection, two-way audio and smartphone app integration. Get it now for a record-low price.View Deal
The Blink Video Doorbell is now £3 more than its lowest-ever price on Amazon, which is great news if you're interested in buying your first smart doorbell. This latest model comes with a head-to-toe HD view, infrared night vision, and two-way audio – all you'd want in a basic video doorbell. You can watch packages get delivered and answer the door in real time from the Blink app, but you can't save footage without a Blink Subscription or a Sync Module (which is included here). Thankfully, you get a 30-day Blink Subscription Plan trial with your purchase, so you can try before you buy.View Deal
The Blink Outdoor Camera 2K+ is packed with the essentials. It has 2K video quality, so you can see what’s going on more clearly. You can also zoom in on what’s happening with 4X zoom, and use the two-way audio to talk to a delivery person or whoever is visiting. It’s simple to set up and weatherproof, with two AA batteries powering the device for up to two years. Plus, this bundle includes a free Blink Battery Doorbell.View Deal
The newest Ring Battery Doorbell Plus model drops to £50 in Amazon's latest sale. Its camera features 1536p HD resolution, night vision with color, and an improved motion sensor. It also includes an increased head-to-toe field of view of 150 by 150 degrees.View Deal
Indoor Camera Plus: was £49.99 now £24.99
This half-price offer gets you an easy-to-install Ring Indoor Camera for a new low price. The Alexa-enabled plug-in security camera features motion-activated notifications, 2K resolution video support, a privacy cover and two-way talk to allow you to see, hear and communicate throughout your home.View Deal
Echo Dot (5th Gen): was £54.99 now £29.99
Amazon's best-selling Echo Dot is down to under £30 for Prime Big Deal Days. This is an OK offer, but far from the previous record-low of £22.99. Nevertheless, the Echo Dot offers an improved audio experience, plus a new temperature sensor and all the handy features from Alexa, like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free. As far as a cheap and cheerful smart speaker goes, it's one of the better options out there.View Deal
Amazon's Echo Spot smart clock is down to its record-low price for Prime Big Deal Days. As well as a time display and wake-up alerts, this compact bit of kit can play music, check the weather and control other smart devices throughout your home.View Deal
Fire TV Stick HD: was £59.99 now £19.99
You can get the upgraded version of Amazon's standard Fire TV Stick for £19.99 — that's just £3 more than the record-low price. In our Fire TV Stick review, we found the original version was a cheap way to add essential smart features to your TV, including access to streaming apps in HD, Alexa voice controls, and the ability to control other smart home devices.View Deal
Fire TV Stick 4K Select: was £64.99 now £21.99
Amazon's newest 4K streaming stick is down to within £2 of its lowest-ever price for Prime Big Deal Days. Considering it's only a few quid more than the cheaper HD version, you might as well pay for the upgrade and get access to higher resolution streaming — as long as you have a 4K TV. It lacks a few premium features found in the more expensive Plus and Max models, such as improved Wi-Fi and Dolby Atmos, but this is more than enough to cover general everyday use.View Deal
Amazon's new Fire TV Stick 4K Plus streams shows and movies to your TV in ultra-high-definition 4K resolution. This updated version now supports Dolby Vision for improved colours, Wi-Fi 6 for better connectivity, and includes 2GB of RAM for faster performance. This offer isn't particularly great, given it was £10 cheaper during the last Prime Day, but it's still good value for an all-around streaming device.View Deal
This is £9 more than the record-low price for Amazon's premium streaming device. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max streams the same content at the same quality as the standard 4K version, but the extra power inside delivers faster app navigation. Plus, it uses Wi-Fi 6E technology to deliver a more stable, consistent streaming experience.View Deal
The latest version of the standard Kindle is on sale as part of the Prime Big Deal Days sale. It's a basic ereader, but it still boasts a four-week battery life and space for thousands of books. Given it's significantly cheaper than the Paperwhite, this is clearly a better pick for the infrequent reader who's after a more budget-friendly option. At £85, though, this deal is a little underwhelming, given it's been as low as £69.99 before.View Deal
The Kindle Colorsoft just fell to its lowest-ever price as part of this year's Prime Big Deal Days sale. As Amazon's first colored Kindle, it's a must-have if you love reading travel guides, graphic novels, and other genres with a lot of images and photographs — or just want to view your entire ebook library in its full colour glory. The ereader is also USB-C and wireless charging compatible, lasts up to eight weeks on a full battery, and has enough storage for thousands of books.View Deal
This is the new lowest-ever price for the newest version of the Kindle Scribe with 64GB of storage. This ereader combines some of the best features of the Kindle Paperwhite, such as the glare-free and auto-adjusting display, along with the option to take notes, comment on documents, and doodle using the included stylus pen. We were a little disappointed by the original Kindle Scribe because of some missing features, but after some updates and upgrades to this new model, we were happy to award it an impressive 4.5 stars, as it offers good value for such a multi-functional device.View Deal
Amazon's best-selling Echo Show 5 is down to £54.99 for Prime Big Deal Days — its lowest price in almost two years. The latest version of the Echo Show 5 features a compact 5.5-inch display but packs impressive sound with deeper bass and clearer vocals. Voice controls are enabled through Amazon Alexa, while you can use the smart screen to listen to podcasts, watch movies, stream videos, play music, and more.View Deal
Amazon's larger smart display just got its biggest discount all year for Prime Big Deal Days. The Echo Show 11 boasts a vibrant 11-inch full HD screen and spatial audio support for room-filling sound when listening to music or watching videos. With Alexa+ support, too, you get access to all of its advanced AI features and an easy way to connect and control other smart devices around your home.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — TelevisionsC6 55-inch C6 4K OLED TV: was £1499 now £1399
Not many TVs can cover the wide range of content that the LG C6 does, be that movies, gaming, sports etc, and even fewer can do it so well. The C6 delivers on almost every front, and stands out as a brilliant value option in an expensive market. The 55-inch model has dropped to £1,399 at Amazon, and while not a record-low, it's a great price for this TV. View Deal
Ember TV 32-inch 2-Series HD TV: was £249.99 now £129.99
Amazon's Prime Day sale includes this 32-inch TV on sale for a record-low price of £129.99. While the Amazon 2-Series TV is just a basic HD display, you get smart capabilities with the Fire TV experience and Amazon Alexa on board for hands-free control at a bargain price. It's far from the best TV in the world, but if you need something small and basic for the kitchen or a kid's room, then this is fine for the job.View Deal
Ember 50-inch 4-Series 4K TV: was £499.99 now £279.99
The 50-inch Amazon Ember TV is the mid-sized version of the budget-friendly 4-Series range and it's now down to its lowest-ever price. It's a nice buy if you're on a budget, as the premium 4K resolution delivers excellent clarity and picture quality for TV shows, movies, sports and general viewing. All major streaming apps are ready to go, too, plus there's voice control support through Alexa. It's an all-around solid TV for the price that I'd buy if I needed an affordable and capable display.View Deal
Ember TV 55-inch Omni Mini-LED TV: was £849.99 now £599.99
Amazon has taken the biggest step up in terms of quality with its latest Omni Mini-LED Series Fire TVs. That's clear in the price, which puts these very close to top-end OLED displays from the likes of Sony, Samsung and LG. However, you still get a lot for your money with this Amazon option, including a large 55-inch Mini-LED panel that boasts fantastic contrast, colors and image sharpness, a 144Hz game mode for a fast and responsive experience on consoles, and smart features.View Deal
Ember 55-inch QLED TV: was £749.99 now £429.99
Amazon's Ember QLED Series is a big step up in the otherwise cheap and cheerful range of smart TVs. This set boasts premium features, including a QLED display for better brightness and contrast, HDR and Dolby Vision for brighter and more vivid colours, local array dimming for richer blacks and HDMI 2.1 support to deliver a top-quality picture for all-around viewing and fast response times for gaming. It's not always easy to find a TV of this size and with these high-end features for just over £400, so it's an excellent buy for the budget-conscious without compromising on quality.View Deal
Beam (Gen 2) Soundbar: was £449 now £338
This second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar is an older model, but this considerable discount drops it to around the same price we last saw on Black Friday. Even with its age, it's still a great offer for a compact and stylish soundbar that also drops the subwoofer for another space-saving measure. It offers easy integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem if you want a larger home theatre system, and Dolby Atmos support provides a more immersive experience when watching movies. We also found it's great at playing music in our Sonos Beam (Gen 2) review, so it's a good choice if you need an all-in-one soundbar for multiple uses.View Deal

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel Core i3
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB
If you're looking for a cheap Windows laptop in the Prime Day sale, then I'd recommend this HP 15 as your best option. It features some decent entry-level components, including an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. All really basic stuff, sure, but if it's just for school, college, admin work at home, or occasional everyday use, it's more than up to the job.View Deal

Processor - AMD Ryzen 5

Here's one of the best budget Windows laptops in the Prime Big Deal Days sale. It features an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD to ensure good performance for general use and a solid amount of speedy storage for the price. It's a top buy right now if you're on a budget and need a basic laptop for everyday use, college, admin tasks and light work.View Deal
IdeaPad Slim 3: was £719.99 now £399.99
Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel Core Ultra 5
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB
This is a great price for a relatively modern laptop that comes with a well-performing Intel Core Ultra 5 CPU. On top of that, you get 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD for storage, and respectable battery life, which represents good value for money overall. And with its 14-inch display, it's easily portable if you're always on the move. I think it's a solid everyday machine for the price.View Deal

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - AMD Ryzen 7
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB
Here's a solid and affordable Windows laptop available at the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale.

It's a great buy if you want a powerful and capable laptop with decent battery life for everyday use, work, or school.View Deal
Aspire 14: was £574.53 now £484
Display: 14 inches OLED
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB
If display quality is just as important to you as power, then strongly consider this Acer Aspire deal at Amazon. It comes with a large and high-end OLED screen that offers a clear and sharp image, whether you're working on documents or streaming your favourite TV shows. Specs are impressive elsewhere, too, including an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage that ensure excellent overall performance, great multitasking capabilities and speedy load times.View Deal
Display - 13 inches
Processor - Snapdragon X Plus
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB
The latest Microsoft Surface Laptop is one of our favourite Windows devices and received a glowing five-stars in our Microsoft Surface Laptop review, so I'm obviously going to call out this solid saving at Amazon. This particular specification includes a powerful Snapdragon X Plus processor, a healthy 16GB of RAM and a reasonable 512GB SSD. That storage feels a little light for the price, but the levels of performance and battery life from the CPU are top-tier to go alongside the swish-looking display and keyboard.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — HeadphonesOpenRun Pro 2: was £169 now £134
Treat yourself to one of the best pairs of bone conduction headphones at their lowest-ever price — one that we last saw during Black Friday. Not only do they deliver outstanding sound, but they're also incredibly comfortable. They're highly recommended by our Fitness & Wearables Editor, Matt Evans, and are now more affordable, making them a great buy for runners and gym goers.View Deal
These top-tier headphones were £20 cheaper a little earlier this year, but it's still a strong saving on the excellent WH-1000XM6. These headphones offer beautifully balanced audio output, top-tier touch controls, ergonomic comfort, and noise-crushing active noise cancellation. They're fantastic all-rounders, as our Sony WH-1000XM6 review digs into.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — SmartwatchesHere's a small discount on the Apple Watch SE 3. Apple's cheaper smartwatch is currently our pick for the best Apple Watch to buy if you're on a budget, as it delivers a full health and fitness tracking experience, all the convenient on-wrist features you need, and that familiar Apple style, but at a fraction of the price.View Deal
Watch Series 11: was £319 now £259
The latest Apple Watch 11 is £60 off in the latest Amazon Prime Day sale, though I did see it for as low as £219 just a couple of weeks ago. Still, this is the thinnest Apple Watch yet, with a wraparound LTP3 OLED display, it's a great-looking watch with Apple Intelligence-powered smarts and a boosted battery compared to previous devices, clocking in at 24 hours of average use.View Deal
The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the simplest fitness trackers around, but it works very well, and is now got a decent price cut for Prime Big Deal Days. It has a small screen that shows the time, how many steps you’ve taken, and your current heart rate as well. It’s subtle, so it fits on your wrist well – whether you’re at work or working out. Extensive battery life of up to seven days means minimal hassle, too.View Deal
Galaxy Fit 3: was £41.94 now £31
At almost £30, now is a great time to buy Samsung's budget fitness tracker. As well as all the basic fitness, health and sleep tracking features, the Galaxy Fit3 is an excellent extension to your smartphone that lets you check your messages, control your music and navigate easily with simple gestures. Everything centres around the impressive 1.6-inch AMOLED display, and battery life is also not a problem, with 13 days on a single charge.View Deal
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 has been superseded by a brand-new model, so Amazon is shifting all of its remaining stock for a low price. We were incredibly impressed with the smartwatch in our review, as it felt like a big step forward for the wearable. There's the stylish design, as well as advanced health and fitness tracking features, and a smart running coach. This offer will disappear in a flash with such limited stock, so I'd grab it while you can if you want one of the best smartwatch deals we'll see all year and you're happy with slightly older tech.View Deal
We're now up to the GT 7, but this is a super-low price for a well-featured smartwatch. It might be a little behind some of its competitors when it comes to this style of watch, but at this price, there are many reasons to consider buying one if you want a stylish and capable fitness tracker that we scored an impressive 4.5 stars in our Huawei Watch GT 5 review.View Deal
I'm not sure how I feel about smart rings, but our fitness editor, Matt Evans, is a big fan of the Oura Ring 4. He said it was "nearly the perfect fitness tracker" in our review, praising the design, ease-of-use, long-lasting battery and detailed health information it offers. This fascinating bit of tech is now down to its lowest-ever price on Amazon — although be warned that some sizes and colours are selling out.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — Health & BeautyThe Suri Pro Sonic Electric Toothbrush is 20% off at Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days. This is a strong offer for the fantastic, eco-friendly alternative to other electric toothbrushes. In fact, we scored it four-and-a-half out of five in our Suri 2.0 Sonic Toothbrush review. As I've found with the original 1.0 version, it performs and cleans well, offers an impressive 40-day battery life, fast wireless charging over USB-C, a useful pressure sensor, and comes with handy extras like a magnetic wall mount and UV cleaning travel case.View Deal
iO Series 3: was £175 now £59.99
The iO range is usually a more expensive option in Oral-B's range of electric toothbrushes, but this is a decent deal on the entry-level option that's also bundled with a few handy extras. It doesn't boast many high-end features but it has the basic ones you really need to brush your teeth effectively and efficiently, including a two-minute timer and a visible pressure sensor. Plus, you get spare brush head and a carry case included for free.View Deal
Sonicare DiamondClean 9000: was £319.99 now £129.99
This deal drops the advanced and top-rated Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush to a little over £130 – a great low price that's only been beaten during Black Friday. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean features four different brushing modes and the pressure sensor will notify you when you're brushing too hard.View Deal
The Philips OneBlade 360 is a quick, simple and affordable electric razor that's suitable for a wide variety of face and body grooming needs. This jam-packed bundle was a little cheaper over Prime Day, but today's offer is still a solid one. This bundle includes the handle, as well as a spare blade, a 5-in-1 comb, a body kit, and a USB-A charging cable.View Deal
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days — GamingAmazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 at its lowest price ever for Prime Big Deal Days. Given that the console was only recently hit with a price hike, I'm surprised that you can score such a big price cut on it right now, so definitely take advantage while you can if you've been thinking of picking it up, as this price almost certainly won't be beaten all year.View Deal
Ideal for younger gamers, the Nex Playground comes with games ready to play out of the box, such as Fruit Ninja, Whac-a-Mole, and more. It's now down to a record-low price at Amazon. This neat little console relies on intuitive motion controls and is a locked-down system designed specifically with young children in mind.View Deal
The Meta Quest 3S is one of the best value VR headsets you can buy, and this Prime Day deal makes it even better value for money. Design and image quality do take a small hit to reach this lower price, but this is still a capable entry-level headset for playing some of the best VR games on the platform.View Deal
RAM and graphics card prices have been dreadful lately, but at least the same issues haven't impacted CPUs just yet. As an example, this AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is down to its lowest price in months for Prime Big Deal Days. It's a solid mid-range CPU for general use and gaming — and it's even the one I'm using right now in my PC. I've been very impressed with it, and at this price, it's hard to beat for value for money.View Deal
Pro 32GB 6400Mhz CL32 DDR5 RAM: was £509.99 now £399.99
Yes, there's apparently a "deal" on this high-end set of Crucial RAM, but when you look back and see that similar sets were under £100 in late 2025, it feels terrible to even consider buying at these prices. Still, if you're in desperate need of some quality RAM, it likely won't get any better than this for a while.View Deal
Star Wars Millennium Falcon: was £734.99 now £598.39
If you want one of the biggest building challenges Lego can provide, then this 7,542-piece Millennium Falcon from the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series is the one for you. And with over £130 sliced off its original price tag, the force is strong with this deal in the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale. Just be aware that it was up to £60 cheaper in previous events.View Deal
Whether it's your first sale or you're a veteran now, thanks for joining me for yet another rummage through the digital shelves at Amazon for its latest Prime Big Deal Days sale. While Black Friday is still about two months away, this event serves as a preview of what's to come, allowing us to get in some early shopping ahead of the peak season.
And there are lots of genuinely good offers up for grabs by the looks of it. I'm here to share all of the best ones with you right here over the next two days — along with some handy assists from the rest of the TechRadar team — so let's get into some highlights from day one.
October 6, 2026 – 4:29 AMLet's start with the inevitable Kindle deal(Image credit: Amazon)Amazon just unveiled a couple of new Kindle models, so naturally, there are discounts on the previous-generation version for Prime Big Deal Days.
Now, I should point out that a couple of these have actually been cheaper in the past, but the days of such aggressive price cuts appear to be far behind us now. This is still a decent offer for the standard Kindle, though, an is unlikely to be beaten over Black Friday.
Amazon Kindle: was £139.99 now £84.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 4:38 AMHere's an excellent value smart home bundle(Image credit: Ring)There's usually a standout value smart home bundle from Amazon in every Prime Day or Big Deal Days sale. Here's this year's: a Ring Battery Video Doorbell and a Ring Indoor Camera for £39.99 — that's a whopping £80 off the full price and excellent value for money if you want to dabble with a simple and easy home security setup.
Ring Battery Video Doorbell & Ring Indoor Camera: was £119.98 now £39.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 4:47 AMHere's one I actually bought last time(Image credit: Future)When I think back to this time last year when I decided I'd upgrade my ageing PC, I feel I got extremely lucky. The RAM and storage crisis was only just picking up, so I managed to sneak in with some key components before the costs really skyrocketed.
One of the items I bought was this AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, and it's been an impressive CPU in my new rig over the last 10 months for work, productivity, and a bit of light gaming. It gets a huge thumbs up from me if you're looking for a solid budget-friendly CPU.
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X: was £249.99 now £139.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 4:57 AMA tip top toothbrush(Image credit: Future)I was always put off by the thought of dropping lots of money on an electric toothbrush when most of the cheaper alternatives were fine. But when I finally picked up the original Suri about a year or so ago, I didn't regret my purchase at all. The newer 2.0 version is now on sale for Prime Big Deal Days, featuring an impressive 40-day battery life, fast wireless charging over USB-C, a useful pressure sensor, and comes with handy extras like a magnetic wall mount and UV cleaning travel case.
Suri Pro Sonic Electric Toothbrush: was £105 now £83.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:06 AMListen up — or don't(Image credit: Future)This one has been popular in a few previous sales, so I'm just letting you know that the handy loop earplugs are on sale again. Whether it's for sleeping, ear protection at a gig, muffling that horrendous tube screech on the Northern line, or just dulling a bit of the chaos of the outside world, these are a great little buy.
Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs: was £19.95 now £15.95 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:15 AMCan one human ever have too many USB cables?My partner would say yes, as I have several drawers and storage boxes and cupboards with various numbers of USB cables chucked in them. It's one of those things that just feels handy to have and weird to throw away. Anyway, if you're finding yourself a little short, this two pack of 3ft USB-A to USB-C cables is super-cheap right now.
Anker USB-C Charger Cable (2-Pack): was £7.99 now £5.69 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:26 AMNaturally, Fire TV Sticks are discounted(Image credit: Future)It wouldn't be an Amazon sale without big discounts on Fire TV Sticks. And today's are especially juicy, notably on the Amazon Fire TV 4K Select, which is reduced by 66% to just £21.99. That's because Amazon is dropping this model (and the slightly pricer Plus model) to replace them with a new 4K Stick that it's just introduced. So if you're looking to buy today, you get the benefit of a good ol' fashioned clearance sale.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select: was £64.99 now £21.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:36 AMSpeaking of Fire TVs…Amazon Ember TVs (they used to be called Fire TVs) are a regular feature of any Prime Day sale. And while they may not be the most powerful or advanced displays, we rate several of them as good options if you want a capable budget to watch live TV or stream your favourite shows.
Amazon Ember 50-inch 4K TV: was £499.99 now £279.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:43 AMAn Apple Watch for just £199(Image credit: Future)If want the health and fitness features of the Apple Watch for a lower price tag than the latest flagship version offers, this deal on the Apple Watch SE 3 is ideal. You get heart rate tracking (including warning of irregularities), fall detection, sleep tracking, select notifications on your wrist, workout tracking and more. It's not a very big discount over its previous £219 price, but it's only ever been £2 cheaper than this, so it's a great deal, especially if you want to get a nice gift bought for someone early.
Apple Watch SE 3: was £219 now £199 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 5:53 AMOr step up to the Apple Watch Series 11(Image credit: Future)If you want more features than the Apple Watch SE 3 offers, the Apple Watch Series 11 is available from just £259, down from its £319 launch price. This is last year's model, with the Series 12 having just been released — but for some people the old model might actually be preferable, because Apple increased the size of the screen bezel in the latest one. In any case, you're getting tons of the same features as the SE 3, but with a better screen, more accurate tracking, blood oxygen detection, an ECG and more.
Apple Watch Series 11: was £319 now £259 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 6:01 AMA strong early laptop dealAll of the back-to-school sales are now behind us, but if you've found your current laptop isn't cutting it in the classroom, or just want a capable new device for home use, then there are a couple of good options in the Prime Big Deal Days sale.
The one is recommend the most is this Asus Vivobook 15. It's a little older now, sure, but it still offers impressive overall power and performance for the price, with a 15.6-inch display, excellent AMD Ryzen 7 processor, a useful 16GB of RAM, a reasonable 512GB of SSD storage, all for around £400.

October 6, 2026 – 6:29 AMWhat're ya buyin', stranger?It's all well and good if I'm recommending deals I've spotted, but it's much better if you let me know what you're on the hunt for this Prime Day. Let me know below and I'll keep an eye out for any relevant bargains!
October 6, 2026 – 6:55 AMThis deal has the powerWhen I was looking into picking up a pressure washer a couple of years ago for a few light jobs around the house, this name came up repeatedly as a great option that also offered good value for money. So I bought it.
Today it's on sale again, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and affordable pressure washer. As well as its solid build quality, strong water pressure and portability, you also get a good selection of attachments in this bundle.
Bosch EasyAquatak 120: was £115.62 now £82.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 7:21 AMDo I finally buy the coffee machine of my dreams?(Image credit: Breville)Every time there's an Amazon sale, I look longingly at one of those super-fancy coffee machines and think about how wonderful it would be to have one in my kitchen. Is this the time I finally get one? Probably not again. However, at this record-low price for the highly-rated Sage Barista Express, it's extremely tempting.
Sage Barista Express: was £629.95 now £449 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 7:50 AMI've just refreshed a few of the deals sections and will be taking a quick break for lunch. When I'm back, I'll have another search through the sale to see if any new categories are worth adding and I'll continue spotlighting the very best tech offers and basket-filling bargains from the sale.
October 6, 2026 – 8:41 AMI'm back and full of beans (well, leftover meatballs and pasta) so the deals hunting continues. Let's see what some of the top picks are from several other writers across TR this afternoon.
October 6, 2026 – 9:04 AMThe very best TV deal in the sale(Image credit: Future)You can always trust our resident TV expert, James Davidson, to have a top pick from any Amazon sale. This time around, his recommendation is currently the display that sits atop our best TV guide. Yep, it's the fantastic LG C6.
LG C6 55-inch OLED TV: was £1,499 now £1,399 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 9:19 AMSounds good to me(Image credit: Future)In a blind audio test, this Bose portable speaker came out on top, fending off some tough competition from JBL and Ultimate Ears. Harry Padoan is a huge fan, and now finds it easy to recommend at this new low deal price.

October 6, 2026 – 9:52 AMThrowing this one into the mix(Image credit: FAB Communications)A regular fixture of the Bake Off tent, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer is a well-rated appliance and number one bestseller on Amazon. With how good they are, you can see why. If you've fancied getting one yourself to show off your baking skills, then this shiny new model is down to its lowest-ever price for Prime Day.
KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer: was £549 now £319.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 10:16 AMI'm clinging onto summer with this oneIt's not a tech deal, but am I buying it? Absolutely yes. I stocked up on this 24-pack of Inch's cider during the summer Prime Day, and I'm almost out, so it's about time to refill the fridge. Yes, the warm weather may be coming to an end, so it's not exactly cold cider weather any more, but I'll still enjoy one of these when the sale is all over. Of course, I will be drinking responsibly.
Inch's Apple Cider 24 x 440ml cans: was £21.17 now £17.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 10:55 AMThis one's my typeOne item that was potentially on my shopping list for Prime Day was a new keyboard. My current one is great, but it's starting to show signs of its age and so I was thinking about replacing it. And, would you look at that, along comes this awesome deal on the highly-rated Keychron V6.
Keychron V6 Wired Mechanical Keyboard: was £69.99 now £52.99 at Amazon
October 6, 2026 – 11:27 AMStill some of the best bone conduction headphones you can buy(Image credit: Shokz)When it comes to bone conduction headphones, there's one brand that regularly stands out above the rest: Shokz. Our fitness experts rate many of its headphones and earbuds as top choices for exercise and running, so I need to shout of this record-equalling low price on the fantastic OpenRun Pro 2 for Prime Big Deal Days.
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2: was £169 now £134 on Amazon
I've been a reMarkable handwriting tablet fan for years now - and my favourite of the line-up, the trusty reMarkable 2 bundle, is now part of Amazon's October Prime Deals.
• Best for: Professionals who want to keep digital hand-written notes and sketches on an ultra-thin, ultra-light tablet.
• The deal: The reMarkable 2 with Marker Plus stylus and grey folio is now £379 (was £529) at Amazon.
• Why we like it: The reMarkable 2 is still delivers the best handwriting experience of any of the line - even the new reMarkable Paper Pure can't compete on the smoothness of this tablet. Hitting its lowest ever price, this bundle comes with the Marker Plus, which features a digital 'eraser' at one end, and a folio cover for protecting the screen.
Today's best reMarkable 2 deal2 With Marker Plus and Grey Book Folio: was £529 now £379
The reMarkable 2 still delivers the best handwriting experience of any reMarkable tablet I own. And with the company discontinuing this model, it's now at its lowest ever price. The bundle comes with a stylus, book folio, and 9 replacement marker tips. View Deal
I've been using the reMarkable 2 as my primary writing tablet for several years now - with a reMarkable Paper Pro Move and reMarkable Paper Pure as backups I picked up along the way. I've never regretted that choice.
After spending months looking into the best handwriting tablets, the reMarkable was the clear winner. It even beats the cheaper Kindle Scribe if you're focused on writing and drawing alone.
In our review, we said: "When it comes to the best writing and sketching experience you can get on an E Ink screen, there’s none better than the reMarkable 2." Having tried out a few different options now, I still think that's the case.
When I reviewed the reMarkable Paper Pure, I found that while the newer budget model is faster, the writing experience feels harder. Using the reMarkable 2 is softer, and more comfortable for extended periods of writing.
Think of the reMarkable 2 as like using a well-loved pencil on the first few pages of a new notepad, compared to using a biro on the last few pages of an A4 pad, which is what the new reMarkable tablets feel like.
Price context & historical valueFor the full bundle set, this is the lowest price I've seen the reMarkable 2 - presumably as the company shifts its focus to the Paper Pure (I called it the reMarkable 3 in all but name). The previous low price was £420 back in June. If memory serves, £379 traditionally only got you the tablet and Marker Plus in previous sales, so you're effectively getting the book folio free here.
For more business essentials, I'm live-tracking the best October Prime Day home office deals.
Should you buy it?✅ Buy the reMarkable 2 bundle if...
You write lots of notes and don't have space for a thousand notebooks (or is that just me?). The writing experience here remains unparalleled.
❌ Skip the reMarkable 2 bundle if...
You write in darker environments where the Paper Pro and Paper Pro move are better picks thanks to the frontlight.

CEO of Amazon Web Services Matt Garman has released a statement in defense of AI data centers that labels the technology as “The race our nation can’t afford to lose”.
Within it, Garman calls on the United States to band together against “misinformation and outright lies” that are being spread about AI data centers to prevent the country from missing out on the huge benefits that will be provided to the economy, national security, and local communities.
“A lapse in our nation’s focus or resolve could put us behind, and potentially irreparably so,” Garman says.
Debunking the mythsThere has been a significant amount of messaging about the positives and negatives of the AI data center buildout, with falsehoods and misinformation fueling both sides.
Garman’s statement starts with a section aimed at countering the ‘myths’ spread about AI data centers, such as water use, higher energy costs, and pollution - but keep in mind that Garman makes no distinction between AI data centers and regular data centers.
For example, Garman argues that data centers account for “0.5% of total U.S. direct industrial water use”, but draws on the figures of direct water use to argue this point.
The indirect water usage of data centers is far higher, and often isn’t included in water estimates for AI data centers. The indirect water usage includes upstream factors such as the water used to generate the huge amounts of electricity that data centers rely on. Data centers are also being built in regions that have experienced long-term droughts, exacerbating water shortages and their effects on local ecosystems.
Garman also labels the rise in US energy bills caused by data centers as “misleading and convenient scapegoating,” arguing that “the accelerated adoption of AI is precipitating a build-out that was destined to happen.” What Garman fails to mention is that the infrastructural build-out is being fueled by AI data centers.
Up until very recently, new grid connections for data centers haven’t been paid outright by the developers. Instead, grid operators have funded new connections and upgrades to power lines through increased bills on rate-payers. It is only the backlash from rate payers that has preceded the introduction of Trump’s voluntary Ratepayer Protection Pledge - and the much more binding (and bipartisan) Ratepayer Protection Act. Had there been no public backlash, these measures would not have been necessary.
The next myth Garman attempts to counter relates to the pollution caused by “large backup diesel generators”. Garman states that these are necessary as the services “consumers, businesses, and governments rely on every day” are provided by data centers. This is, in its exact wording, true.
But the pollution many of those in the US are arguing against is attributed to the fossil fuel burning gas turbine engines that many AI data centers use as an alternative to connecting to regional power grids - particularly if their connection requests are denied. The turbines at some campuses give off the same noise pollution as an international airport, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The sounds they produce have also been involved in causing neurological symptoms in local residents.
The demand for gas, pushed higher by AI data centers, could see the US use more natural gas than Germany and Japan combined by 2035, and the associated pollution could cause generational health decline and cost $25 billion in associated costs.
The final myth that Garman seeks to debunk is that ‘Community members get nothing from data centers’, arguing that data center operators are “often the single largest taxpayer in a community” and that this “reduces the taxes paid by families, but it also funds investments in schools, fire and police departments, parks, roads, and other community services.”
But data center operators are also the largest beneficiaries of tax cuts and credits too. Numerous states have begun repealing tax cuts for data centers after seeing billions lost in expected revenue - billions that otherwise could have been used for funding investment in community services.
Garman also points to the boom in construction jobs associated with the AI data center buildout, but doesn’t include that many of these jobs are temporary. Once the construction of a data center is complete, these jobs often disappear unless there is continuing demand within the local region, and operational data centers themselves require a very small number of employees.
Amazon’s new community commitmentsIn an effort to get local communities onboard with data centers, Garman’s statement also lays out a number of ‘codified’ community commitments that Amazon will adhere to.
These commitments fall under four pillars; Protecting & Enhancing Communities; Providing Jobs & Economic Benefit; Engaging Communities; and Building & Operating Responsibly.
The full list of commitments is available here, but there are a few key points to look at. Outside of vague commitments to covering the cost of grid connections and infrastructural upgrades, paying their fair share of taxes, and paying the workers they hire, Amazon will contribute "$1 billion over the next five years" to jobs and education, energy affordability and water solutions, and community investment.
Given that Amazon operates 236 data centers that are operational or under construction, this $1 billion figure amounts to around $4,237,000 per data center over the full five years, or about $847,000 per data center per year.
Amazon has also announced a commitment to “no longer use nondisclosure agreements with the government agencies we work with on our projects.”
This is by far the biggest announcement included in Garman’s statement, yet it takes up just a single line. Local communities have long called out for more transparency around AI data centers.
In numerous cases, NDAs have been used to prevent local governments from discussing planned data centers with their constituents. In numerous other cases, data centers have only been announced to local communities after the necessary permits are secured, preventing local residents from being involved in the consultation process and limiting their ability to oppose new projects.
The community commitments offered by big tech companies such as Amazon and Meta looking to build AI data centers are not out of the goodness of their hearts. They are a direct result of the community backlash against AI data centers that has occurred across the US.
Had this huge opposition not happened these benefits would not be offered, but they are being jazzed up by big tech companies as a benefit they are providing to communities rather than the efforts of grassroots movements and every day Americans fed up with being subject to rising bills, increased noise pollution, and an economic system that favors those with money and power.
If you're searching for a new mobile controller, then there's no need to wait for Amazon Prime Day. Best Buy's Techtober Sale is live right now, with the brilliant Razer Kishi Ultra available for just $104.99 (was $149.99) – a $45 saving.
• Browse the full Best Buy Techtober Sale
This is comfortably the best mobile controller that I've ever tested and, believe me, I've gone hands-on with countless models across the price spectrum. It's supremely comfortable in the hands, offers rare full-size thumbsticks and buttons, and comes with some brilliant software that enables compatibility with games that don't traditionally support mobile pads. It even has full RGB lighting, which means it looks awesome to boot.
There is a catch, though. This model is being phased out in favor of the newer(though not meaningfully better) Razer Kishi V3 Pro, so it's become pretty hard to find. This Best Buy offer is labelled as clearance, so it might be your last chance to get your hands on it before it's gone for good!
Today's best mobile controller dealRazer Kishi Ultra: was $149.99 now $104.99
This is a near-perfect mobile controller that I awarded a rare full five-star score thanks to its incredibly comfortable form factor, brilliant performance, and compatibility with a wide range of USB Type-C phones and even smaller tablets. Currently on clearance, I'd snap it up while you can!View Deal
The Razer Kishi Ultra used to have a spot locked down on our best mobile controllers guide, only replaced by the Razer Kishi V3 Pro when availability started to become more limited.
It's still an excellent pad, though, and in my eyes, actually the better of the two models. It's not only cheaper, but it has RGB lighting, which the V3 Pro entirely lacks. Performance is otherwise extremely similar, so you're not losing out by going for this slightly older design.
The United States has approved construction of a 300MW small modular reactor as electricity demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure continues rising.
The decision gives Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) the authorization to construct GE Vernova Hitachi's BWRX-300 reactor at its Clinch River site.
The same reactor technology is also gaining attention in Britain, where investors are proposing a large deployment across multiple locations.
BWRX-300 gets regulatory approval in AmericaThe US Nuclear Regulatory Commission completed its assessment in 14 months, allowing TVA to proceed with construction at Clinch River.
However, the utility still requires another license before loading nuclear fuel or beginning electricity generation from the approved reactor unit.
TVA is considering as many as four BWRX-300 units at the Tennessee location, although construction timing remains undecided.
The reactor uses boiling-water technology, with natural circulation helping to move coolant without depending entirely on powered pumping equipment.
Its safety design also uses gravity, pressure and stored water to protect certain operating conditions without external power.
At 300MW, each reactor would generate roughly one-quarter of the capacity provided by newer reactors operating at Georgia's Vogtle facility.
“This construction permit is more than a regulatory achievement — it's foundational for America's nuclear future,” said Mike Skaggs, TVA's interim president.
The approval comes as utilities seek dependable electricity sources capable of operating continuously while AI facilities increase demand across power networks.
Nuclear generation can provide steady output without depending upon weather conditions, although construction costs and lengthy development periods remain major concerns.
The BWRX-300 is intended to address some construction difficulties through simpler architecture, fewer components and greater use of manufactured equipment.
Britain and Canada could pursue the same reactor technologyThe BWRX-300 is not limited to the US project, with SGE proposing as many as 14 of the reactors across three UK sites under the country's advanced nuclear policy.
Britain's government introduced its Advanced Nuclear Framework earlier this year to support privately financed nuclear developments and strengthen future electricity supply.
SGE’s plan could require approximately £35 billion, equivalent to about $46.5 billion, if the entire proposed programme proceeds.
Canada is also preparing to deploy the same reactor design, with Ontario Power Generation developing its first unit and preparing its construction programme.
In Texas, Blue Energy has applied for permission to develop BWRX-300 reactors intended to supply electricity directly to data center facilities.
The repeated use of one design is expected by developers to improve procurement, manufacturing and construction efficiency across multiple projects.
That expectation remains unproven in America, where recent large nuclear developments have experienced substantial delays and costs exceeding initial estimates.
TVA's project will therefore provide another test of whether smaller standardized reactors can satisfy large electricity users without repeating those construction difficulties.
