The Solana Alpenglow upgrade went live on Wednesday, marking its largest network upgrade since 2020. It shortens transaction finality from approximately 6 seconds to about 150 milliseconds and reduces validator costs by roughly 60%. The upgrade is achieved by moving validator votes off-chain and packaging them into certificates, with activation planned at the start of epoch 1064.
Eight private keys belonging to Indian certificate authority eMudhra were found to have been generated using extremely small integers (such as 4, 56, and 115) instead of strong random numbers; researchers recovered all of them from public certificates within one second. This vulnerability could lead to forged website certificates. Mainstream browsers have urgently blocked the relevant certificates, but non-browser tools such as curl, Python, Node, Go, and Java may still be affected because they do not check certificate revocation status.
MiniMax officially released the M3.1 Flash model, claiming the previously anonymous model Space Bunny. It ranked first in the Automation-Bench v1.0.6 complex Agent task evaluation and tied for first with Opus 5 on BankerToolBench. Measured results show that combined with MiniMax Code, it completed a 3D campus construction task in 55.4 minutes at a model cost of approximately 6.50 yuan, representing a 54% speedup compared to the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash-1017 combination (121 minutes, approximately 6.52 yuan). Input/output prices are 1 yuan/million tokens and 4 yuan/million tokens respectively, with cache reads costing only 0.1 yuan/million tokens.
Splash 1.4, released by Inco AI, is an open-source local AI inference engine optimized specifically for Apple Silicon. It adds support for the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next model.

The open-source tool Win11Debloat has added a Simplified Chinese interface (merged into the upstream master branch but not yet included in the 2026.08.24 stable release); the Chinese version maintained by Qingxiaofrog has been synchronously updated to 2026.10.21. New options include disabling Chrome AI, Edge Copilot Chat button, Windows Recall, and Copilot; support for individually hiding the Spotlight wallpaper icon, preventing automatic installation of device companion apps (including LG monitor apps), and uniformly turning off notifications. Application uninstallation now includes timeout mechanisms and error prompts, with asynchronous uninstallation supported after login for user-level applications. The backup restoration path is unified to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Win11Debloat, fixing compatibility issues with Windows 10, domain accounts, and paths containing special characters.
Adobe is refactoring how filters work in Photoshop, changing them from directly modifying pixels to independent effect layers that can be dragged onto layers; parameters are moved to the Properties panel and support real-time adjustment, hiding, deletion, or replacement. The new version also supports AI Assistant for creating custom filters with adjustable sliders (such as lens flare), but the light leak filter itself does not rely on generative AI; the update is expected to roll out later this year.

A study published in the international medical journal The Lancet Digital Health reports that the FAHR-Face model, developed by Mass General Brigham (a healthcare group comprising Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital), can distinguish the mortality risk of cancer patients using only ordinary facial photos. Among 3,820 patients who did not participate in training, the AI-identified 122 individuals at extremely high risk had a 52.5% mortality rate within 90 days, while the low-risk group (975 people) had a rate of only 2.1%. These results were externally validated in a cohort of 4,892 patients in the Netherlands.
The Thailand Trade Competition Commission (TCC) has approved in principle a draft regulation requiring digital platforms with annual sales exceeding 500 million Thai baht or holding market dominance (including ride-hailing, instant delivery, and e-commerce platforms) to disclose fee composition, calculation basis, and reasons for price hikes before increasing service fees (GP fees). The draft is open for public comment until November 20 and is expected to take effect by December 18. Since 2022, Shopee has raised its service fees 10 times, with a cumulative increase of approximately 433%; Lazada has raised fees 7 times, with a cumulative increase of approximately 367%; TikTok's situation is still under investigation. Of the 37 platform-related complaints received in 2026, approximately 90% involved service fee issues.
