You're tuned in to Tech Beat, your daily look at the stories shaping our digital world.

Marc Benioff isn't taking the so-called SaaSpocalypse lying down. The Salesforce CEO called predictions of AI killing traditional software "crazy nonsense," and Nvidia's Jensen Huang stood right beside him. Their argument is that software doesn't disappear — it evolves, and the interface is where the real battle gets fought.

On the AI infrastructure front, a video circulating online showcases a design canvas powered by Cerebras hardware running Qwen three point eight to twenty-seven billion parameters — and the speed is genuinely striking. The demo points to something worth watching: as inference hardware gets faster, the gap between idea and output narrows in ways that could reshape creative workflows entirely.

And in an interesting corner of tech history, a thread is making the rounds about the Windows XP product key fckgw-rhqq2-yxrkt-eight-tg-six-w-two-b-seven-q-eight — perhaps the most pirated license key ever typed. It's a small story, but a telling one about how digital rights management shaped an era and why so many of those lessons still echo in today's software licensing debates.
