RPCS3 has implemented its own HLE version of cellSysmodule, which manages PS3 system module loading. Dependence on Sony's binary has been reduced, but 76 modules remain LLE-default in the current source.
Linus Torvalds has declared that Linux will not become an anti-AI project, signaling a policy of accepting AI as a useful tool for development. While maintaining the principle that the human who signs off bears responsibility for generated code, he is pushing forward the introduction and streamlining of AI-based automated review.
TSMC's Q2 2026 earnings showed net profit surging 77.4% year-over-year, driven by expanding AI-related demand and cost improvements. Backed by strong demand forecasts, the company raised its capital expenditure guidance to as much as $64 billion and is advancing additional investment in Arizona.
OpenAI has unveiled "GPT-Red," which pits attack and defense models against each other in self-play, automating self-improvement in safety. The system rapidly iterates from vulnerability discovery to defensive training, aiming to strengthen the safety of agentic capabilities, though threat model design and other elements remain in human hands.
ASML, the world's largest maker of semiconductor lithography systems, is pushing for price increases on both EUV and DUV tools amid equipment shortages driven by AI demand, and key customer TSMC is resisting. The outcome of these negotiations will determine whether equipment makers or their customers capture the profits generated by the scarcity of tools essential to leading-edge chip manufacturing.
A Swedish survey found that among Tesla Model 3 vehicles driven over 100,000 km, cars equipped with LFP batteries showed higher capacity retention than those with nickel-based batteries. However, this result does not fully control for variables such as usage environment and vehicle age, so individual battery inspection remains important when choosing a used car.
Taiwan's Formosa Plastics will raise prices for electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid and other chemicals in Q3 2026, driven by growing demand from advanced semiconductor production increases and soaring raw material costs. While the company is also expanding supply capacity, the new capacity won't come online until 2027, raising concerns about continued supply-demand tightness in the near term.
Xiaomi's humanoid robot achieved a 98% success rate in nut-feeding tasks at its own EV factory, and can now also sort large, deformable parts. While progress toward practical deployment is striking, full-scale introduction into mass production processes will require further verification of reliability factors such as operating hours, intervention frequency, and economic viability.
Codex's MultiAgentV2 encrypts instructions sent to sub-agents, removing plaintext from local history. While used by Sol and Terra, the audit path for failure cases remains unaddressed.
Three publishers and an author sued Google, alleging that books and papers from Google Books and other sources were repurposed to train Gemini. At issue are the boundary between search-purpose copying and AI training, the routes by which data was obtained, and disclosure of provenance on a work-by-work basis.
