Amazon's cloud unit accelerated for another quarter and now earns 63% of the company's operating profit, but $77 billion of quarterly capex pushed trailing free cash flow to minus $42 billion.
A polished, ad-free, offline-capable vocabulary app — and the more interesting part is that its words, illustrations and audio are released under CC BY 4.0 for anyone to build on.
A plugin that watches what your agent does, compresses it into searchable memories in a local SQLite database, and feeds the relevant bits back into your next session. How it works and what to watch out for.
A misconfigured DNS resolver, chained zero-days and a covert channel built from CPU cache timing — OpenAI's own red team found the paths. Here's what happened and why it matters beyond OpenAI.
Anomaly's open-source Hex lets you hold a key, talk, and have text pasted into any app without sending audio to the cloud. Version 3.0 brings one app to Mac, Windows and Linux, and it was one of GitHub's fastest-climbing repos on November 2.
Floorplan, a free MIT-licensed plugin, scans your repo locally and has your coding agent label every part, producing a browsable map with a security health check. It was one of GitHub's top trending repos on November 2.
A brighter screen, built-in GPS, a real week of battery and iPhone support make it the Charge 6 successor fans wanted. Distance tracking that reads short and thin smart features hold it back.
Apple says developer testing in China starts November 4 and the public gets Apple Intelligence in December with iOS 27.3, with Alibaba's Qwen built into Siri, Writing Tools and Visual Intelligence. The AI Siri shown at WWDC 2026 isn't part of this phase, and neither are Macs or iPads.
RedMagic's gaming phone launched worldwide today with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and liquid cooling. US buyers pay more than the rumored $899, and the global model ships with 80W charging instead of China's 120W.
Marvell agreed to buy optical-component maker Lumentum in an all-stock deal valued at about $115 billion, one of the largest tech acquisitions ever. The filing shows a $3.2 billion regulatory break fee and a close that could slip into late 2028.
DeepSeek's Harness team published an MIT-licensed research prototype that watches a GitHub repo, takes authorized requests and answers with pull requests. It passed 11,000 stars within days — but DeepSeek itself says it is not production-ready and runs with full user access.
AMD reported record Q3 2026 revenue of $13.4 billion, up 45%, as MI450 GPUs and Helios racks started shipping to Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and Oracle. It forecasts about $17 billion for Q4, but free cash flow fell to $554 million as it built nearly $3 billion of inventory.
Google's November 2026 Android Security Bulletin patches more than 200 vulnerabilities, including a critical remote code execution flaw that needs no user interaction. Nothing is flagged as exploited yet, but the bulletin also lists the "SMS of Death" phone-crash bug that already has a public proof of concept.
A new arXiv preprint claims a theorem showing that JEPA models trained on different modalities converge to the same representation. It reports that a 109M-parameter text model out-aligns 72B LLMs. The results are striking, but they are benchmark-specific and not yet peer-reviewed.
Colibri, a dependency-free C engine that keeps mixture-of-experts weights on NVMe and loads them on demand, is back on GitHub's daily trending list at about 47K stars. It really does run frontier-size open models on ordinary hardware, but independent tests show giant models crawl well below one token per second.
Google has dismantled the XCPE botnet and banned Shenzhen device maker Videostrong, which it says deliberately preloaded a backdoor that turned set-top boxes into proxies and ad-fraud engines. The backdoor reinstalls itself after removal, so for affected boxes the practical fix is replacement.
Local ballot measures on data centers ran almost one-sided in Tuesday's US midterms. Bans passed and project rezonings failed, often by margins of three or four to one. It's the clearest sign yet that power-hungry AI campuses now face a local veto, and more votes are scheduled for December.
A CVSS 9.8 use-after-free in the kernel's IPv4 TCP handshake code affects kernels back to 4.4, and Anthropic says one of its models wrote a remote-root exploit for it. Red Hat shipped kernels on November 1; Ubuntu users are still waiting. Here's the status by distro and what to do in the meantime.
