Blender is considering removing OpenGL in 6.0. Drawing on official meeting notes and developer documentation, this article looks at the difference between Vulkan support and Vulkan by default, texture memory limits, Cycles compute APIs, and the OS and driver conditions for migration.
A look at how Apple, Qualcomm and MediaTek's 2nm-generation chips approach on-device AI, based on primary sources: running only the needed parts of a 30-billion-parameter model, memory and heat design, and what a 55% gain in generation efficiency does and doesn't mean.
An MIT committee warns that generative AI is straining coursework, faculty-student relationships and research training. We examine the limits of its campus surveys, a study of AI tutoring, and the recommendations for protecting assessment and human connection.
Reflection has announced Beam, a new AI model. We look at its four-week reinforcement learning run on 10,500 GPUs, the asynchronous infrastructure that ran about 1.3 billion sandboxes, and what its efficiency estimates, full weight size, and API limits mean for practical use.
Pi 1.0 is now officially available. This guide explains how the harness connects AI models to tools, then walks through installation, organizing and saving notes, reusing history and skills, and connecting MCP. It also covers how reducing tool descriptions differs from restricting permissions, model costs, and what Pi Durable is for.
WormGPT shut down on the day its creator was identified in 2023, yet the name lives on in other products, some of them wrappers that call legitimate AI behind the scenes. Price lists, lawsuits and eight reports of AI-enabled malware and intrusions show how stolen keys and accounts let attackers sidestep the controls providers still hold.
Valve has added an FPS distribution graph to the Steamworks dashboard for Steam Deck Verified games, complementing the average FPS and user survey tools introduced in April. Loading screens and user-set FPS caps are included in the data. Here is how it differs from Verified criteria and how developers can use it to investigate post-update problems.
Basic Linux support for the Pixel 10 series is moving toward Linux 7.4. We look at the Tensor G5 hardware definitions, boot requirements, what works so far, bootloader compatibility, and how this differs from Android's common kernel.
A Quinnipiac University poll found 77% of U.S. adults favor slowing or pausing powerful AI until its safety can be assessed. We look at the original question, results by age, concerns about competition with China, distrust of AI companies, and the impact on politics and data center construction.
In June 2026, Google began rolling out Fake call detection on Android, which checks the caller's device rather than listening to the voice. In January 2026, it was reported that NTT Docomo had developed generative AI that judges recorded call content. Here is what each approach examines and where each falls short.
