In what appears to be a scene ripped out straight from a James Bond movie, the CEO of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, has apparently escaped China via the maritime route just days before stringent exit controls were slated to take effect, if a wild rumor is anything to go by. The rumor reportedly originated from internal Huawei chat screenshots, with heavy police presence at the company's HQ only adding fuel to this speculative frenzy This particular rumor first began circulating on September 12 when some internal Huawei chats surfaced that referenced unpaid wages and a heavy police contingent at the company's […]

A stage has been reached where you can seemingly develop games using local AI models that don’t require an internet connection or employ any token usage.

An older RTX 3090 gaming PC was used to develop the game from scratch, concluding that serious hardware is still necessary to venture into this category The exact version of Qwen3.8-27B […]

NVIDIA officially reserves DLSS Multi Frame Generation for its GeForce RTX 50 Series “Blackwell” GPUs, but the PC modding community has spent the past few weeks systematically tearing down those barriers. We have now reached the point where experimental implementations of NVIDIA's DLSS-G pipeline can run on RTX 40 Series “Ada Lovelace” GPUs, RTX 30 Series “Ampere” cards, and even the older RTX 20 Series “Turing” hardware. These projects are fundamentally more interesting than the numerous "DLSS (Multi) Frame Generation" mods that appeared over the past couple of years. Many of those older solutions simply intercepted NVIDIA's DLSS-G calls and […]
