Check this out. Someone digging through Intel's AI Playground guide found a reference to an unreleased Arc GPU with thirty-two gigs of memory. The utility showed a card labeled 'Intel(R) Arc(TM) A750 GPU (32x6)' being used to generate a test image. Intel has never put out a consumer card with that much VRAM; their current stuff tops out at twenty-four gigs for pro models.
This could be a peek at the rumored big Battlemage chip, the BMG-G31. That thing is supposed to have a two-hundred-fifty-six-bit bus, which would fit either a sixteen or thirty-two-gig configuration. Maybe the pro versions get the full thirty-two, or Intel throws a bone to gamers with a limited edition model. There is a boring explanation too, like a laptop using...
Autodafe just put out their Formant Filter. It does that classic vowel morphing thing, sliding smoothly between A, E, I, O, and U sounds. The whole point is real-time tweaking for musical effects, with just a few knobs for intensity and dry/wet blend.
It runs on pretty much everything. You can grab it as VST3, Audio Unit, or even a standalone app for Mac, Windows, and Linux. There is also a VST2 build for Windows and an LV2 version for Linux heads. The devs built it with JUCE and tested it across all the major systems.
It is completely free, but they offer a five-euro supporter edition if you want to toss them a coffee. Both versions are exactly the same under the hood.
The newest Pro Tools update has dropped. Version 2025.12 brings native support for Audio Vivid, that AI-powered 3D audio format from the UHD World Association. It lets producers place sound objects in a full sphere for immersive mixes that play back on everything from headphones to big speaker arrays. Chris Winsor, Avid's product director for Pro Tools, said this move addresses the growing demand for varied spatial formats. Vincent Zhang, who leads the UWA, called the partnership a big step for global adoption, letting creators work faster.
Studio and Ultimate users get the Audio Vivid Production Suite for mixing and rendering directly inside a session. The update also deepens the SoundFlow integration, now packing a built-in version...
Zimbabwe's national soccer team just got some bad news right before the Africa Cup. Reading FC midfielder Andy Rinomhota has pulled out of the squad. He cited an urgent private family matter requiring his full attention. Rinomhota posted a statement saying he is deeply disappointed to miss a major tournament, noting that representing his country is a huge point of pride. He explained that the timing leaves him mentally unprepared to perform at his best for the team.
The Zimbabwe Football Association confirmed his withdrawal. Coach Mario Marinica will not call up a replacement, leaving the existing midfield group to handle the tournament. That unit includes players like Marvelous Nakamba and Knowledge Musona. Zimbabwe opens its...
A presidential advisor distributed funds for two constituencies in Chimanimani today. Dr. Paul Tungwarara gave twenty-five thousand dollars each to the local areas as part of empowerment and cyclone recovery efforts. Speaking to a large crowd at a business center, he promised a new clinic for war veterans and a cash-for-work program to fix public infrastructure damaged by Cyclone Idai. He issued a strong warning against misusing the money, stating that audits are underway and abuse would have serious consequences.
The advisor emphasized that the funds came directly from the President as support for development projects, not as personal handouts. He criticized past misuse of similar initiatives and demanded refunds from those who...
The President honored the late retired Brigadier-General Mark Charles Chimwaza as a selfless patriot. Speaking at the burial in the national cemetery, he expressed condolences to the family and the nation. He stated the loss was deeply felt by all, recognizing the officer's service under his war name, Comrade Paddington Chafachaora.
The President said the former officer was among those who sacrificed for Zimbabwe's freedom and unity. He noted that burying him at the national shrine was a gesture of gratitude for his consistent dedication. Born in Mutare district in 1957, Chimwaza attended local schools before joining the liberation struggle.
After crossing into Mozambique, he received military training at Chimoio. The President...
The Nationalist Alliance Party says it is totally against any plan to stretch presidential term limits toward 2030. Its president, Divine Mhambi Hove, called for citizens to defend the country's constitution. He made this statement to emphasize the party's independence, reacting to other dialogue group members merging with the ruling Zanu PF party.
Hove stated the NAP is a strictly separate entity and will not follow that move. He cited their five core principles, arguing that blending with the establishment would wreck their mission as a watchdog. Such a merger, he claimed, would erase necessary checks on power. He also criticized what he called questionable gifts of expensive cars by ruling party figures, saying those funds should be...
Power is back on for all the flood-hit neighborhoods. The utility company TNB thanked customers for their patience while crews fixed everything. They had to shut down several substations covering places like Sri Damai and Taman Guru.
Workers brought the substations back online step by step. By late last night, only one station near a local university was still getting sorted out. That final one is now running too.
Sabah Umno and Barisan Nasional are backing Mohd Naim Kurniawan Moktar for the Kinabatangan parliamentary race. Their state chief, Datuk Jafry Ariffin, said the pick was about organizational strength and grassroots approval, not just family ties. He argued the candidate was chosen by the party itself and represents real service, not a symbolic figurehead.
Jafry framed the upcoming vote as a bigger test of political stability and public trust. He stated it would show if the coalition can keep delivering in important, tough areas. The minister pledged a united effort from Sabah Umno to ensure the constituency gets principled representation.
