Why it mattersThe first time a game console has run a 27B model at usable speed through open-source porting alone — a 16GB, 448GB/s-bandwidth PS5 now sits in desktop inference territory, and the community just rewrote the hardware bar for local AI.
Why it mattersWhat was stolen was not data but billable frontier-model access — one key can yield training-data value, putting the risk of intermediaries holding API keys on the table.

Why it matters23 AI technologies (large models, agents, compute clusters, information processing) are proposed for export control revision, and related exports must be registered from the notice date.
Why it mattersThe model designed new circuits surpassing the best published ones, beating them on all eight tasks.
