Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the technology stories that matter.

SpaceX has hit turbulence on the public markets, with shares falling below their debut price just one month after the company went public. It's a reminder that even the most celebrated names in aerospace aren't immune to investor second-guessing, and Elon Musk's rocket venture now faces the scrutiny that comes with being a public company.

Shifting to artificial intelligence, OpenAI has revealed GPT-Red, a purpose-built large language model designed to act as a kind of adversarial sparring partner for its other models. The idea is straightforward: train your defenses by fighting a skilled attacker. OpenAI says its newest release, GPT five point six, is its most cyber-resilient model yet, partly because it went through rigorous testing against GPT-Red before launch.

And in a story that blends nostalgia with serious technical achievement, the open-source emulator RPCS three has reached a landmark milestone — three quarters of all PlayStation three games are now fully playable on PC. That's a significant preservation win for gaming history, and it raises the ongoing question of who owns the right to keep old software alive when the original hardware is long gone.

Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
