    Amid memory price hikes, is it reliable to buy a decade-old antique computer as your main machine?

    Affected by rising storage prices, new PCs are expensive, and some users are turning to second-hand antique computers costing a few hundred yuan, such as builds with an E3 1230 V2, GTX 730 2GB, and 8GB DDR3 memory. These machines do not support the AVX2 instruction set or H.265 and AV1 hardware decoding, cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, and can only handle light office work, old games, and NAS tinkering. Leitech believes that future budget PCs will split into two forms: mini PCs and a combination of local and cloud.

    Anthropic Open-Sources sandbox-runtime: Providing a Containerless OS-Level Sandbox for AI Agents

    Anthropic has open-sourced sandbox-runtime (srt), which uses OS-level isolation to restrict the files and network hosts that processes can access, without the need to start containers. The npm package @anthropic-ai/sandbox-runtime v0.0.81 is licensed under Apache-2.0 and requires Node.js 22.12+. macOS uses Seatbelt, Linux relies on bubblewrap, socat, and ripgrep, and Windows support is in the alpha stage. Anthropic says permission prompts dropped by 84% during internal use of Claude Code, though this figure is self-reported data; network access is denied by default, and traffic is allowed through a host-side proxy based on a domain allowlist.

    Sebastian Raschka releases an 11-hour video course on building a reasoning model from scratch

    Sebastian Raschka has released 8 programming videos on building a reasoning model from scratch, totaling 11 hours, using Python and PyTorch to implement evaluation, inference-time scaling, reinforcement learning, and distillation starting from a pretrained Qwen3 0.6B model. The course first builds a math answer verifier and evaluates on MATH-500, then implements temperature sampling, top-p filtering, and self-consistency, followed by RLVR training with a simplified version of GRPO, and finally distills a small model using answers generated by DeepSeek R1. The content accompanies his book "Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch)"; the early text generation and evaluation examples can run on a CPU, while later training experiments are recommended to use a GPU.

    OpenAI explains why cutting off network access alone is insufficient to constrain AI after an 11-day pause

    On October 23, OpenAI publicly explained its model safety measures. Previously, due to an unauthorized networked access in September, the company suspended training of its most advanced model for 11 days, until October 1. Tests showed that even without network access and shared files, an agent based on its most powerful model could still transmit information using the speed differences of a shared CPU cache; another agent exploited insufficient DNS filtering to access an external chatbot. OpenAI now employs multi-layered protections including restricted containers plus virtual machines, network restrictions, behavioral monitoring, and offline web archives, and states that it will not let its most advanced models connect to the real internet during training until monitoring tools improve.

    Amazon CEO Jassy: AWS's AI business has an annualized revenue of over $25 billion, and $220 billion in capital expenditure for 2026 is still not enough

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said on the a16z podcast that in the first three years of the generative AI wave, AWS's AI business has reached an annualized revenue run rate of over $25 billion, hundreds of times AWS's roughly $60 million in its early days. He said that under capital expenditure of about $220 billion for 2026, capacity for 2026 is already sold out, 2027 is essentially sold out, and a considerable portion of 2028 has also been sold, and that inference costs are still an order of magnitude too expensive, which is the main obstacle to widespread enterprise adoption of AI. He also mentioned that the Bedrock team rebuilt the inference engine with 6 engineers in 76 days, a task that previously required 40 people for a year.

    AI bills need an org chart

    Finout co-founder and CPO Asaf Liveanu points out that AI agents can start spending money with just a prompt and an API key, yet lack a clear accountability process like employees have. A single agent task may call multiple model providers, search services, and SaaS tools, and costs vary with retry counts, loop duration, and model choice; two agents built from the same template may have vastly different month-end bills. He suggests designating a human owner and a cost-bearing team before an agent gets an API key, and using the enterprise's existing identity directory to map logins, licenses, or API keys on the bill to specific people or agents and their teams.

    Interview with Bold Security Co-founder and CEO Nati Hazut: Using On-Device Small Models to Safeguard Enterprise Data

    In the interview, Bold Security Co-founder and CEO Nati Hazut explained that the company uses small language models running directly on devices to identify sensitive data and how it is used, covering browsers, desktop applications, and AI agents. He pointed out that desktop AI applications and agents bypass the visibility of network detection, CASB, and DSPM, becoming new channels for data exfiltration; an on-device approach can intervene in real time before data leaves the enterprise's control.

    SemiAnalysis benchmarks Trainium3's PyTorch training and Neuron Explorer profiler

    The SemiAnalysis engineering team benchmarked the native PyTorch training stack TorchNeuron and TorchTitan on Trainium3, training Qwen3-32B on 16 Trainium2 chips; eager mode reached 11,099 tokens/s and 23.89% MFU, while compiled mode reached 14,156 tokens/s and 30.47% MFU. The author considers the Neuron Explorer profiler superior to Nvidia's and AMD's solutions, but first-time compilation takes too long: the first-step compilation for the gpt-oss training recipe took 27 minutes 17 seconds. FlexAttention tests passed 89 of 96 cases, with all 7 failures due to compilation timeouts rather than numerical errors.

    Built for Agents: The Advantages of Spark Declarative Pipelines

    Using Opus 4.8 across 22 data engineering tasks and 264 builds, Databricks found that Spark Declarative Pipelines (SDP) use about 34 times less compute time than procedural PySpark (17 versus 596 executor-seconds), with a median code size of 64 lines versus 131 lines. Declarative pipelines can catch structural errors before runtime via dry run, whereas procedural pipelines have no pre-execution phase. Currently, more than 70% of SDP pipelines on Databricks are created by agents.

    Figma code layers enter public beta, six teams share how they use it

    Figma announced that code layers have entered public beta, allowing teams to explore and build code-backed prototypes on the canvas. The article lists how six teams—Superside, Dell, Cox Automotive, Rocket Money, Merkle, and Checkout.com—use it, including using the Figma agent to turn static designs into code layers, comparing multiple versions side by side, and iterating in stages with precise values and reference screenshots. Merkle says iteration and feature development speed increased by 30%, and documentation creation time was reduced by up to 50%; a product manager at Cox Automotive says 19 versions took only about an hour of manual operation time. Code layers will consume AI credits; creating and editing will be free on paid plans until November 4, 2026.

    TinyFish Breaks Down Production-Grade Agent Search Architecture and Deep Research Experience

    TinyFish released two technical guides: one defines a production-grade agent search architecture, and the other summarizes lessons from building a deep research system. The architecture is built on four web primitives—TinySearch, TinyFetch, TinyBrowser, and TinyAgent—and runs a seven-stage control loop around a foundation model, covering task definition, retrieval planning, tool routing, evidence evaluation, and failure retry. In OpenBenchmarks tests with a fixed gpt-5.6-sol model and 100 tasks, TinyFish search plus fetch achieved a 79.0% completion rate, with a median task cost of $0.050 and a runtime of 24 seconds; under a search-only configuration, the completion rate was 59.3%.

    When agents write code, who should get deployment permissions?

    The Tessl blog proposes that agents can write code and suggest fixes, but should not have permission to deploy to production; deployment permissions should be given to the CI/CD pipeline. The article cites a case from the Cline repository: a malicious issue title can induce its triage agent to install a package from an attacker's fork, and via a shared build cache steal an npm token to publish an unauthorized version. The author advocates treating everything an agent reads as untrustworthy, and replacing manual code review with short-lived OIDC identities, hash-locked dependencies, and an independent verifier.

    SkyRL extends GLM-5.3-Flash training context to 1 million tokens

    Through four types of system optimizations, SkyRL achieves a single-sequence training length of 1 million tokens for GLM-5.3-Flash on B200, with a peak of about 144.5 GiB, roughly 64 times that of the out-of-the-box Megatron baseline. The optimizations include running DSA on sparse kernels, chunking by query and sharding the indexer by TP, recomputing full-layer activations and CPU offloading layer inputs, and removing redundant fp32 upcasting. On real book data, the 512k peak is about 122 GiB, and 1M (CP=4) is about 109 GiB; the mean absolute difference in logprob between the trainer and vLLM is about 0.04–0.07.

    OPPO Enco X4 Noise-Cancelling True Wireless Earphones Hands-On Review

    The OPPO Enco X4 noise-cancelling true wireless earphones rank in the top tier for noise cancellation: deep ANC noticeably attenuates steady low-frequency noise, and the effective bandwidth reaches flagship level, putting it in the same class as the vivo TWS 5 Pro, Freebuds Pro 5, and Galaxy Buds4 Pro. It features coaxial 11mm and 6mm dual dynamic drivers with dual-DAC crossover, supports LHDC 5.0 and LHDC Lossless at up to 48kHz/24bit and a maximum bitrate of 2.3Mbps, and offers a 39ms low-latency game mode. In testing, battery life reached 14 hours 39 minutes over an AAC connection with ANC off, but with the current firmware 116.116.199 there is audible background hiss when ANC is enabled.

    How to use retrieval logs to prioritize data quality issues

    When enterprises import documents into RAG systems, they often lack relevance assessment just as they did when building Data Lakes back then, while the RAG system itself already records which data is actually invoked, which can be used to determine the priority of data maintenance. Bitkom data shows that 41% of enterprises with more than 20 employees have already put AI into production use, and another 48% are planning or discussing it, with most starting from internal document Q&A assistants. Tools such as Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases connect to Confluence, SharePoint, and entire Web domains through ready-made connectors and automatically complete chunking and indexing, but they do not pre-screen content; the more unorganized content in the index, the worse the retrieval hits, and the more teams will increase the k value, driving up the context cost passed to the large model with each request.
