    Windows 11 upgrades stall amid "chipflation" and "RAMageddon"

    With CPU price hikes ("chipflation") and memory price hikes ("RAMageddon") driving up PC prices, Windows 11 upgrades have stalled, and Microsoft's Windows revenue from PC makers fell 27% in the most recent quarter. StatCounter data shows that in September 2026, Windows 10 still accounted for 27.7% of Windows PCs worldwide, while Windows 11's share fell from 72.57% in February to 71.5%. Analysts expect PC prices may not ease until 2028 or even 2029, and Counterpoint forecasts that PC shipments in the fourth quarter of 2026 will decline 27% year over year.

    How Figma brought Hello Kitty and Friends into FigJam

    Figma partnered with Sanrio to launch Hello Kitty and Friends in FigJam for one week starting November 1. Users can choose one of 12 Sanrio characters to join brainstorming, and each character comes with its own cursor, washi tape, and sticky note theme. The team used Figma Motion to create the loading animation and used Figma agent to complete batch edits; a free Hello Kitty birthday pop-up event will also be held in New York from November 6–8.

    SenseTime Releases Multimodal Agent Model SenseNova 6.8 Flash

    SenseTime has released the multimodal agent model SenseNova 6.8 Flash, which focuses on delegated intelligence: users only provide a goal, and the AI handles the entire workflow. In official evaluations, it ranked first on TeamBench and DataAnalysis2.0, and tied for first with GPT 6 Luna on BEAM 128K. The author tested dynamic web pages, dynamic posters, SVG animations, and dynamic PPTs in the SenseTime Xiaohuanxiong client, and also tested long-term memory and proactive interaction; the model can proactively remind users of data corrections in old materials.

    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.

    The Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation has upgraded its comprehensive command platform for service and support for the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE), embedding AI agents into the entire workflow of food safety, special equipment safety, and advertising inspections. The food safety vertical large model has been iterated into "Food Safety Smart Eye (One Photo, One Verification)", which is connected to 145 video feeds and conducts intelligent inspections of 55 catering units; high-risk units scoring below 80 are inspected on-site by regulators. All 424 elevators have achieved full coverage of QR code verification and remote monitoring, and AI advertising inspections have compressed full-coverage inspections from a whole day to about 7 hours.

    OpenAI will merge ChatGPT's Chat and Work tabs

    OpenAI announced that it will merge the Chat and Work tabs in ChatGPT, initially opening it to some users to gather feedback before rolling it out to everyone; after the merge, users can bring in files and plugins in one place, letting ChatGPT build websites, make presentations, or perform web operations. Codex will remain a separate experience in the ChatGPT desktop app, but ChatGPT and Codex will share the same token quota pool, and some users may more frequently have to wait for their quota to reset. Anthropic already merged Claude's chat and Cowork features into a single interface in September.

    Due to Executive Order 14434, the U.S. Census Bureau's BTOS survey changed "Artificial Intelligence or AI" in its questionnaire to "Super Intelligence or SI" starting October 19, 2026. Previously, on November 17, 2025, the survey had already changed the scope of its questions from "producing goods or services" to "any business function," which raised the AI usage rate among firms with 250 or more employees from about 12% in September 2025 to about 40% in October 2026. The results of the first survey to use the SI wording are scheduled to be released on Thursday.

    After the democratization of intelligent driving, why is cockpit computing power hard to democratize: ModelBest's AI Box offers a pluggable upgrade solution

    The AI Box, built by ModelBest in partnership with Wutong Technology and Intel, is being delivered as an optional feature on the Changan Deepal L06. It comes with a built-in 4B VLM model and multiple on-device models, and took only three months from its debut in July to pre-installation mass production in October. Currently, high-end chips such as Qualcomm 8295 are concentrated in vehicles priced above 200,000 yuan, while vehicles priced around 100,000 yuan and below still mainly use Qualcomm 8155. The 3-4 month iteration cycle of cockpit large models is mismatched with the six-month to one-year mass production cycle of automotive SoCs. The density law proposed by researchers from Tsinghua University and ModelBest shows that the capability density of large models doubles roughly every 3.5 months, and industry competition is shifting from paper computing power to computing power utilization efficiency.

    DeepSeek Search and Fetch End Free Tier, Billed at $0.75 per Thousand Calls

    The two web tool APIs, DeepSeek Search and Fetch, end their free tier starting today and switch to billing by the number of successful requests, at the same unit price of $0.75 per thousand calls. Billing only counts requests that return HTTP 200 and where Search returns non-empty results or Fetch actually retrieves page content; failures, empty searches, and timeouts are not billed, and the cost is independent of the number of returned items, tokens, and whether need_content is enabled. Rate limits are calculated per account: Search is 100 QPS and Fetch is 25 QPS, with Fetch also having a per-domain QPS cap; server-side tool calls initiated via DeepSeek Harness, Claude Code, and Codex are subject to the same rules.

    Sam Altman calls tokens a "fake unit"

    In a Cheeky Pint video, Sam Altman called tokens "a kind of fake unit": the number of tokens can be counted, but it cannot tell enterprises what this money bought. The author adds that the only defense of tokens comes from an information-theoretic perspective—model outputs are still mixed with noise; if the waste is removed, the token count would approach the Shannon limit, that is, the minimum amount needed to carry the actual information.
