TechCanonical Funds Research Into Translating Large C Codebases to Rust
Canonical is investing in a three-year PhD research project to convert hundreds of thousands of lines of C into safe Rust. Using AppArmor and other real-world tools as test cases, the work will examine whether generated code preserves behavior and remains maintainable.
TechOpenAI Reinstates 5-Hour Usage Caps for ChatGPT Plus, Not for Pro Plans
OpenAI is restoring 5-hour usage limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex on the Plus plan. Pro 5x and Pro 20x remain exempt for now, as the company aims to smooth short-term compute load and prevent users from burning through weekly quotas too quickly.
TechWindows Paint's AI Images Embed a Traceable Server-Issued GUID
Microsoft Paint records a server-issued GUID in both the AI-generated image and its C2PA data, even for local generation. Photos was found to use a similar code path, but no personal identification or account matching has been confirmed.
TechIBM Unveils 2nm Mainframe Processor Design That Runs Arm and z/Architecture on the Same Core
IBM is developing a 2nm processor that runs Arm's AArch64 and its own z/Architecture on the same core. The move aims to bring Arm software into the mainframe world, but the product launch date, supported software, and performance figures remain unannounced.
TechPasskeys Have Reached 5 Billion in Use, So Why Haven't Passwords Disappeared?
Passkeys have grown to an estimated 5 billion in use worldwide, but passwords persist due to unfinished cross-provider migration, shared-device limitations, and immature secure recovery systems. The pace of full rollout depends less on adoption numbers than on how complete these migration paths become.
TechIntel's Next Xeon Chip Doubles Core Count to 256 With New Chiplet Design
Intel is scaling its upcoming Diamond Rapids Xeon processor to as many as 256 cores, rebuilding it around 16 core chiplets and two fabric hubs. Peak bandwidth reaches roughly 1.6TB/s, though real-world performance figures remain unpublished.
TechDid AI Shrink Entry-Level Jobs? Payroll Data on Millions of Workers Shows Correlation, Not Causation
Monthly payroll records covering 3.5 to 5 million U.S. workers from ADP show that employment in AI-exposed occupations for workers aged 22-25 failed to keep pace with growth in less-exposed occupations, with the gap showing up mainly in hiring rates. Because it's an observational study, causation remains unproven.
TechArm's AGI CPU Packs Over 100 Billion Transistors Into Two Chiplets
Arm's newly disclosed AGI CPU splits more than 100 billion transistors across two compute chiplets, fitting 136 cores into a 300W envelope. Here's a look at the design goals and what stands between $2 billion in demand and mass production.
TechHugging Face Reportedly Explores Sale at $13 Billion-Plus Valuation
Business Insider reports that Hugging Face is exploring a sale at a valuation of more than $13 billion. Separating ownership of public models from operational control of the platform reveals what's really being priced: the neutrality of AI's distribution layer.
