What’s happened? During an invite-only press roundtable during IFA 2025, AMD SVP and GM for the Computing and Graphics Group, Jack Huynh shared his thoughts on where AI is, and where it’s going – suggesting we’ve merely scratched the surface of what’s possible.

  • During the briefing Huynh said “I still think we’re in the early innings of AI PC, and there’s still many, many innings left to play”.
  • He pointed out how quickly AI has moved forward in the last 12 to 15 months, when text-to-image was a big deal, and now we’re seeing text-to-video, and text-to-video with voice.
  • While some might already be feeling AI fatigue from the amount of hype in recent years, Huynh doesn’t think there’s been enough talk about the potential which lays before us.
  • “Many people think AI is overhyped – I personally think it’s underhyped” Huynh told us. “I’m looking at development factors and what’s possible. The progress is exponential.”

Why this matters: Huynh isn’t looking at the next three to six months of development, he and his team are working on AI for the next three to five years. As he puts it, “we’re working on things that haven’t been invented yet”.

  • While many new laptops are launched with the likes of Microsoft’s Copilot AI built in – such as the recently announced Acer Swift Air 16 – compelling use cases for the technology remain few and far between.
  • What Huynh is saying is there’s more AI innovation ahead of us than behind us, which means in the coming years we should see more exciting implementations of the technology.
  • Ultimately, Huynh believes AI “could be a great tool to advance the human race.” It might just take some time for this vision to be realized.

MelGeek MADE84 Ultra Review: Getting addicted to this magnetic keyboard was only a matter of time
I tried my first Hall Effect keyboard, and now my brown switches are just gathering dust
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Mechanical keyboards are one of those rabbit holes I’ve always been happy to fall into. I spend most of my day writing, then somehow end up using the same keyboard for several more hours once I start gaming. Naturally, how a keyboard responds and sounds matters a lot to me. The MelGeek MADE84 Ultra V2 caught my attention as soon as I unboxed it.

Its transparent keycaps, massive light bar, aluminum body, and lighting running around almost every side immediately give it away as a gaming keyboard--and it's not being subtle about it at all. After about two weeks of using it for work and games, the styling is just one of the things it has going for it.

AI agents are already breaking the rules in cyber tests. OpenAI’s answer is a more capable one
GPT-5.6-Cyber trades some safeguards for stronger defensive capabilities, but access is tightly restricted

OpenAI has built a cybersecurity model specifically for advanced requests that its standard models often refuse. GPT-5.6-Cyber is available through the restricted Daybreak Red program and is meant for work such as exploit development and advanced security research.

The capability jump is hard to miss. OpenAI says GPT-5.6-Cyber completes 95% of requests in its internal Advanced Cybersecurity Completion Rate evaluation. Regular GPT-5.6 Sol completed just 1.5%. That leap comes after several cyber evaluations showed AI agents wandering beyond the boundaries researchers had set for them.

Meta’s new AI model runs entirely offline, but your GPU needs to keep up
Meta drops a free 30 billion parameter AI model that lives entirely on your desktop.

Meta has a new AI model out, and for once, the biggest headline isn't about capability; it's about freedom. Muse Glimmer, sitting around 30 billion parameters, ships with an Apache 2.0 license, meaning the weights on Hugging Face are yours to download, modify, and build on top of, no permission needed. You can simply run it on a graphics card on your local machine, no server farm or online connectivity required. 

Meta's Superintelligence Lab took its larger Muse Spark and essentially had it teach a smaller, leaner version to think as it does. Muse Glimmer accepts both text and image inputs, though it only answers in text. It supports over 100 languages, remembers conversations stretching past 131,000 tokens, and its knowledge stops at January 4, 2026.
