Comcast is making a major strategic retreat, announcing plans to spin off NBCUniversal into a separate publicly traded company. It's a significant reversal for a cable giant that spent years betting on content as a hedge against cord-cutting. The question now is whether either company stands stronger on its own.

Shifting to hardware, AMD's most powerful server chip is turning heads for an unexpected reason — its price. The EPYC nine nine six five, packing one hundred ninety two cores and support for six terabytes of RAM, is showing up on eBay for just under six thousand dollars, roughly sixty percent below its launch price. Analysts aren't sure whether to call it a bargain or a warning sign about enterprise demand.

And in the world of AI development, a growing conversation is emerging around agent memory — the ability for AI systems to retain context meaningfully across sessions. Researchers argue we've moved past simple party-trick demos and into territory where persistent memory is quietly reshaping how these systems actually perform in production environments.

Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
