Asahi Linux is moving everything from the MIT licence to GPLv2-or-later. Asahi is the volunteer project that reverse-engineers Apple Silicon Macs so they can run Linux. In today's Linux 7.3 progress report, developer James Calligeros explains why: people have been using the permissive licence to take the team's work. "In some extreme cases, in-development feature code was being lifted straight out of our personal forks and published without attribution or lazily rewritten with LLM assistance to obfuscate its origin." The report points to WINE, which switched from MIT to LGPL in 2002 for the same reason: "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." The same report brings real wins too. M3 Macs now install without the EXPERT flag, Thunderbolt support (USB3 and networking for now) is shipping to users, and the team got GTA IV and Fallout: New Vegas running outside the muvm VM using Google's per-process page size patches.

at 200-300 tok/s it could probably be my main daily driver, but you're not getting this performance with local hardware — yet? we're this close to feasible local AI

i confess after running deepseek v4.1 flash locally on 2x dgx sparks at 100+ tok/s on code, i have come to the realization that i am fine with semi frontier, whatever frontier version the closed labs are pointing to i am not here to let agents work on projects without my supervision and code review, and to pair engineer with, deepseek v4.1 is so good that i keep coming back to it it's such a tasteful thing to own hardware as capable as dgx sparks, and i think soon i'll be fully transitioning to local ai, i'll try to pause my cloud subs and see where things land the acceleration is insane and this is the best time to own metal

Unichain is moving to OP Enterprise to prepare for native interop across the OP Stack Once interop is live, users can move assets, starting with ETH, across OP Stack chains without a bridge Testnet migrates October 13, with mainnet in late October

Blast will be shutting down. We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable. As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down. We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible. We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA. To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours. As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours. Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay. Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface. After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then. We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.
