A report by The Information claims that the world’s biggest chipmaker is considering adding memory back into its portfolio, starting with next-generation 3D DRAM. With demand still outpacing supply and prices sky-high, the outlet says it could compete with memory giants Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix to develop and produce 3D DRAM technology that stacks chips vertically for increased bandwidth, capacity, and power efficiency.

Microsoft is reportedly “winding down” a cloud AI deal with Oracle.

For your “is that a bubble popping?” Bingo cards: Bloomberg reports that Microsoft is reconsidering deals to rent server capacity from “neoclouds” to power its AI efforts, and has been turning off rented capacity from Oracle since declining to renew a 2023 deal. Sources said the computing power Oracle offered used older Nvidia chips, and had become less useful to Microsoft.

OpenAI says it found 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel.

It says it used an upcoming cyber model to autonomously scan the latest Linux kernel as of “mid-October 2026.” OpenAI’s system also generated patches for the bugs, and it says a human researcher reviewed them.
