This legislative push aims to prevent American companies from relying on firms allegedly linked to the Chinese military, potentially forcing Apple to abandon cost-effective memory alternatives amid rising global DRAM prices.</p> <h2 id="tech--ai">Tech &amp; AI<a class="anchor" href="#tech--ai">#</a></h2> <p><a href="https://www.cnbeta.com.tw/articles/tech/1569170.htm">Google has delayed the release of Gemini 3.5 Pro</a> to improve its coding capabilities after facing fierce competition from OpenAI and Anthropic. In the meantime, the company is integrating its AI deeper into its ecosystem, officially <a href="https://www.cnbeta.com.tw/articles/tech/1569186.htm">renaming NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook</a> and adding AI avatars to <a href="https://www.cnbeta.com.tw/articles/tech/1569204.htm">Google Vids via the Gemini Omni model</a>.

Meanwhile, former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati&rsquo;s new startup has <a href="https://www.cnbeta.com.tw/articles/tech/1569142.htm">launched Inkling</a>, a new AI model that interestingly draws architectural inspiration from China&rsquo;s DeepSeek-V3.</p>
