+### Quick Report
+
+A startup called Etched specializing in designing ASICs has decided to disrupt the gaming industry by creating games using AI model trained on their Transformer architecture dubbed the **Oasis**. Oasis is the first AI model that enables real time playable open world game that takes use's input and generate realtime gameplay content including physics, game rules and graphics.

+
+Initially they used a NVIDIA H100 GPU Oasis is a model trained with 500 million parameters can run at 720p at 20 FPS. Due to GPU hardware limitations with H100/B200 4K is impossible at the moment. So to solve this, Etched created in-house accelerator called **Sohu** specialized for accelerating transformer architecture that can serve 65 Oasis run to 65 users and designed to run 100 Billion parameter gen AI video games which can output at 4K 30 FPS thanks to 144GB of HBM3E yielding 1,152 GB of VRAM in eight-way configuration.

+### Quick Report
+
+Microsoft has announced that it will offer extended security updates for Windows Home users for a price of 30 USD for a year after EOL. This is a significant change from the previous policy of offering extended security updates as it was earlier limited to Enterprise editions of Windows and LTSC versions.
+<!-- more -->
+
+The move comes as a surprise since Microsoft has stated users upgrade to Windows 11 if their current machines satisfies the minimum requirements such as TPM 2.0, Virtualization Based Security, Secure Boot and more security features or extensions shipped on modern CPUs from Intel, AMD and Qualcomm ARM.
+
+Microsoft will also provide Defender Security Intelligence updates till October 2028 to protect current Windows 10 users who aren't eligible for Windows 11 upgrade since it will open up the door for potential security threats or leave users unprotected.

+### Quick Report
+
+TeamGroup has announced the launch of its CAMM2 DDR5 memory modules, which are designed for high-performance computing and gaming systems. The modules are available in 6400 and 7200MTs speeds, with capacities ranging from 16GB to 128GB.
+<!-- more -->
+
+Excerpt from Teamgroup\'s [press release][def]:
+> The consumer-grade CAMM2 memory from TEAMGROUP operates at DDR5 7200 MHz CL34-42-42-84 【1】 under manual overclocking, delivering exceptional performance. Compared to the default JEDEC specification, the module offers write, copy, and read speeds of up to 108,000MB/s, 106,000MB/s, and 117,000MB/s, respectively, while reducing overall latency to 55ns. The module delivers smoother performance when running large applications, gaming, or multitasking. The potential to achieve ultra-high frequencies of 8000-9000 MHz in the future further underscores its superior capabilities. CAMM2 is designed for industrial control, edge computing, and AI applications, providing robust support for high-performance computing and real-time data processing. It supports dual-channel mode with a single memory module, simplifying system architecture and significantly reducing power consumption. With an integrated CKD (Client Clock Driver) for improved signal integrity, CAMM2 memory is smaller and ideal for thin and light notebooks. Its improved thermal design allows for greater heat dissipation efficiency, unlocking more potential in a compact space.
