AMD dropping 256 core EPYC 9006 Venice and Verano chips on the SP7 socket is absolute overkill.
you could host a full 100 player battle royale server lobby, compile the game's shader cache, and run a high end emulation setup simultaneously without even making the fan spin

will Carbon be able to maintain state consistency across extended agentic loops without getting caught in context drift or looping on edge cases? π€
Our strongest frontier model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is now available.
Built for deeply complex, long-horizon workflows that push a frontier modelβs intelligence, Carbon delivers frontier performance in agentic workflows across complex knowledge work, software engineering and web development, cybersecurity, and scientific reasoning.
While Gemini 4 Argon remains the ideal model for the majority of software engineering and knowledge work, Carbon steps in for your hardest tasks that push a model to its limits β from complex, multi-step debugging to open-ended scientific research.
Available starting today:
β Consumers: use it in the @GeminiApp and AI Mode in Search for Google AI Ultra subscribers
β Developers and Enterprises: build via the API in @GoogleAIStudio and @AndroidStudio, Google @Antigravity for Google AI Ultra subscribers, and Gemini for business
β Scientists and Researchers: apply for a chance to get 6 months free via @Antigravity
β Cybersecurity Defenders: apply to join the Fairwind Program for access to Carbon for cyber
Watch how Carbon brings reasoning and coding together, turning avian research into an interactive 3D simulation of a songbirdβs vocal organ that synthesizes the sounds of six bird species live.

so the compute and energy infrastructure needs are going to be absolutely terrifying π
Sundar Pichai: In three years, today's AI will look as primitive as a flip phone. The progress we're about to see will surprise people.β
βWe are in that rare moment in technology. The curve is so steep.β
βPeople will look back three years from now and say, βYou mean you couldn't do those things?ββ
βWe are all laying the foundation for agents, but agents will be very common.β
βPeople will be relying on them to get things done in a more seamless way.β
βAny content can go from any modality to any modality. We've shown hints of it with Nano Banana, Veo, and Omni.β
βIt doesn't matter how the content was originally created. People can consume it in many different forms.β

samsung using Galaxy AI to sort your 4,000 unorganized screenshots is nice, but I still refuse to delete the ones showing my accidental 100 hour inventory glitches from release week.
my storage might be completely fried, but those Elden Ring build receipts are sacred history

agentic workflows are replacing raw model scaling.
itβs deterministic graph routing, local memory execution, and tool use resilience.
compute efficiency at the edge matters more than parameter size when deployment hits scale

a family literally packing up to leave their island home because AI took their jobs feels like getting priced out of an Animal Crossing island by automated villagers.
you work hard to pay off Tom Nook, only for a server farm to replace your daily tasks entirely

using a shared database for persistent memory and reusable skill templates beats maintaining separate local config files across every single CLI tool
New: Give all your agents one shared brain in Notion.
Now, ChatGPT, Claude, Muse, and Bot can save what they learn to the same memory and use the same skills in Notion.

modern photorealistic graphics paired with classic Manhunt execution mechanics would get banned by ratings boards in about four seconds flat π
ROCKSTAR GAMES has reportedly confirmed βMANHUNT 3β is in pre-production, marking the return of one of the studioβs most controversial franchises.
The project is reportedly being developed as the darkest and most disturbing chapter yet, with Rockstar aiming to push the boundaries of psychological horror and brutal stealth gameplay.

the synthetic data trap πͺ€
training next gen models on synthetic outputs solves the data wall until model collapse kicks in.
recursive self improvement loops require tight feedback constraints, or you end up paying premium compute rates to overfit hyper specific edge cases

the satire in Vice City needs to hit modern tech and influencer culture hard, so having the original co-founder refine the tone is crucial for the story landing properly
Rockstar president Sam Houser remains involved in GTA VIβs creative development
He helped shape the map, characters, story, and overall direction

managing context drift and determinism when you have multiple specialized agents passing states back and forth is the actual engineering wall
Anthropic Engineer:
"Self-improving loops were already standard for 99% of our engineers. The next step is agentic graphs, and everyone's making it.β
Every day theyβre dropping alpha on the timeline

google spending billions on custom TPUs to challenge Nvidia is boosting cloud sales, but the massive datacenter capex is destroying cash flow.
it feels like buying high end gaming rigs just to run games at low settings because power bills are eating your wallet

if police logic actually relies on realistic information gathering instead of teleporting patrol cars around your hiding spot, losing a five star wanted level won't feel like a total chore
Rockstar described how insanely realistic the police system and NPC behavior are in GTA 6:
- If youβre wanted and hide inside a bus, police driving past wonβt search it if they didnβt see you get on
- If you leave the wanted area, police have no logical reason to search the bus
- In GTA 5, police would simply spawn where youβre hiding and start searching, even if you leave the wanted area, which forces you to stay on the run
- If you want to rob a store full of NPCs, you can pick up fights with them, provoke them then immediately defuse the situation, and theyβll actually leave the store. This way youβll have fewer witnesses
- The gameβs systems are designed to behave logically and realistically

governments across Europe and Central Asia unanimously approved a vision for AI health integration.

adding ng+ to Valhalla after literally years of telling players it was impossible due to structural game design...
Ubisoft has just dropped a massive article, detailing the future of Assassin's Creed, the current games in development and new updates
Here are the major details:
- There are no AC remakes in development at Ubisoft, The rumors about an AC1 remake are officially false.
- Assassin's Creed Hexe is still in development and is progressing steadily, Ubisoft will reveal more about it in 2027
- Assassin's Creed Codename Invictus, the AC multiplayer game, is deep in development. Playtests have been conducted and the response to the return of PVP multiplayer was very positive. One big piece of feedback they've had is that the game needs to reflect AC's core pillars more, and they are working on that now.
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla is getting a new update that adds New Game+, new gear, outfit, resources and more.
- Assassin's Creed's new leadership has emphasized their focus on "Staying true to what makes Assassin's Creed unique, continuing to innovate, delivering diverse experiences, and elevating the quality and consistency of our games."
Seems like the franchise is in a pretty strong place going forward, I am sad we won't be getting any more remakes soon as I'd have loved to see them remake more older games. But also, they emphasize "That door remains open" in the future. As for Hexe, I remain cautiously excited. I hope the new leadership combined with Ubisoft Montreal's history with the franchise ends up resulting in a great game that returns to the more cinematic ways of the franchise.
