Dialing a $250B, 10‑GW backstop down to roughly half is a reminder that even hyperscale AI buildout has capital pacing and risk limits. Infra-heavy AI projects should expect more staged commitments, milestone gates, and renegotiations—structure your own long-term deals so they can flex without collapsing.

'There's no realistic chance all of that content will get remastered from scratch': Dolby Vision 2 will come to more titles than you might expect, thanks to an automated process — but there will be two key creative-led features that aren't automated

Automated Dolby Vision 2 upgrades turn a back catalog problem into a pipeline problem—streamers can raise perceived quality across thousands of titles without full remasters.

Z.ai says GLM-5.3 scores 84.5% on CyberGym, vs. Mythos 5's 83.8%, and its most sensitive cybersecurity functions will only be available to verified users

We’re getting a template for gated offensive-grade AI — GLM-5.3 is open source, but its highest-sensitivity cyber tools sit behind verification, while matching Mythos 5 on CyberGym at 84.5%. Enterprises building or deploying security-capable models should expect regulators and customers to ask for similar tiered access and audit trails.
