AI boom drives up demand for memory chips, causing price hikes for electronics

VITBIO has launched OmniGmot AI Golfer, a wearable system that combines full-body motion capture and plantar pressure analysis for golf training. The system provides laboratory-grade biomechanics insights directly on the golf course and was demonstrated at SPORTEC 2026 in Tokyo Big Sight by Spanish professional golfer Juan Salama.

Rishi Desai from Abundant AI introduced SWE-Marathon, a benchmark evaluating AI coding agents on billion-token scale tasks. This benchmark tests long-horizon reasoning and coherence, revealing current limitations and the need for robust verification.

The AI boom is driving up demand for memory chips, causing electronics manufacturers to raise prices. Companies like Apple and Microsoft have announced price hikes for laptops and gaming systems.

Microsoft is cutting thousands of jobs, focusing on engineering expertise for enterprise AI rather than expanding sales teams. The company is investing in embedded engineering teams for customer support and implementation.

Anthropic is reportedly discussing a custom AI chip with Samsung Foundry to develop proprietary processors to support Anthropic's AI models.

A fully funded AI Security Bootcamp is open for applications in London, covering frontier AI threats, LLM security, and AI governance for experienced cybersecurity professionals.

Canada is urged to build sovereign AI infrastructure for global competitiveness, including hardware, data, people, and computing access to support AI development and deployment.
