    Qualcomm Completes Preliminary Validation of HBC Stacked Memory, Dragonfly AI250 to Begin Sampling in First Half of Next Year

    Qualcomm announced that it has completed preliminary validation of its High Bandwidth Compute (HBC) stacked memory architecture, which stacks multiple layers of DRAM on a small compute die for use in its Dragonfly data center AI accelerators. The testing used early samples with 2 layers of DRAM, while production products will have 4 layers; Qualcomm claims that its energy efficiency per unit of bandwidth per watt exceeds the HBM4 specification by 5 times, and that measured bandwidth is 18 times that of external LPDDR5X, but it did not disclose specific bandwidth figures. The first Dragonfly AI250 integrating HBC will begin sampling in the first half of next year, and Qualcomm also plans to use this technology in Snapdragon consumer products.

    Wired Investigation: Over 400 AI Apps with Hidden Pornographic and Violent Deepfake Features Passed App Store Review

    A Wired investigation found that a network suspected of being operated by Chinese entities includes more than 400 domains and apps. These apps passed review by presenting everyday features such as language teaching and AI fitness coaching, then loaded interfaces capable of generating pornographic and violent deepfake content under specific conditions. They drew traffic through ad placements on Meta's platforms, and some apps had been live for a year. After Wired provided details, Apple removed 19 apps, saying the developers had swapped the source content websites after listing; Meta said it had taken action against more than 10,000 ad accounts associated with these app domains.

    Report: MacBook Pro to See Multiple New Models Next Year

    Bloomberg reports that Apple will launch multiple new MacBook Pro models next year, including a second-generation touchscreen MacBook Pro equipped with M7 Pro and M7 Max chips.

    Hassett Downplays AI Financing Concerns: No Large-Scale Sell-Off Expected

    Hassett downplayed concerns about AI financing, saying that while the market may see a minor pullback, he does not believe at all that a wholesale sell-off will occur. He noted that some companies are heavily indebted, but cash-rich giants hold related equity and debt, and would step in if a company runs into trouble or seizes the opportunity to take over—though he added that it may not come to that.

    OpenAI pledges that its self-built U.S. data centers can cut power load during extreme weather

    OpenAI announced the launch of the "Grid Guardian Plan," under which data center campuses it directly builds in the United States will proactively reduce electricity consumption when extreme weather or other emergencies put stress on the grid. The plan extends to the entire country a commitment already made for a planned campus in Effingham County, Georgia; OpenAI pledges to cut up to 1 gigawatt of power load when the grid needs relief, roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of 700,000 households. John McCarrick, OpenAI's head of energy policy, said this reflects a shift in industry thinking and technology, as well as adjustments made after incorporating community feedback.

    OpenAI launches Grid Protectors Program, data centers can cut up to 1 gigawatt of load in extreme weather

    OpenAI announced the "Grid Protectors Program," extending a commitment for a planned data center campus in Effingham County, Georgia, to the entire United States, with the ability to cut up to 1 gigawatt of electricity load when the grid needs relief, roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of 700,000 households. OpenAI said it will negotiate with power companies to determine the scale of reducible load, response speed and duration, and details for each campus will be announced separately once finalized. John McCarrick, OpenAI's head of energy policy, said this reflects a shift in industry thinking and technology, and noted that a year ago some large cloud providers still insisted on the "five nines" reliability standard of 99.999% continuous uptime.
