NVIDIA open-released Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB on Oct 15 — a vision-language model that fits into 24GB of memory using native 2-bit quantization. Out of the box it decodes at about 84 tokens per second on RTX Spark. The Bolt uses a hybrid Mamba-Transformer-LatentMoE design with 74B total / 9B active parameters; its 256K context and tool-use support target agents that run alongside a user's other apps.
Weights are on Hugging Face with day-zero support for vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio and Unsloth. NVIDIA ranks the model first in its class on PinchBench and second on BrowseComp — a useful pragmatic trade-off between smart and fast on small hardware.
Caveat: the license is NVIDIA's OpenMDW-1.1, not Apache 2.0. Read the license before any production use.

Two critical PHP remote code execution flaws — one found by GPT-5.6 Sol — were patched on October 21, 2026, and OpenAI published a disclosure framework alongside the fix. Fixed versions: PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35. Both allow unauthenticated remote code execution, and PHP's advisory says risk is highest for mod_php, where a demonstrated exploit triggers before any application code runs. The CVEs are distinct failure modes. CVE-2026-109618 (OOM corruption): out-of-memory handling can interrupt PHP while internal request data is only partially initialized, and request cleanup may then treat the invalid data as valid. CVE-2026-109619 (stale global state): request-owned internal state can survive after its backing memory is freed, and a later request served by the same worker may use that stale state. OpenAI states GPT-5.6 Sol identified the first flaw through its Patch the Planet initiative, and that Wiz independently discovered and reported both vulnerabilities. PHP's maintainers led the fixes and release, with Wiz, Cloudflare and OpenAI contributing research and coordination. Wiz's write-up adds that it used GPT-5.6 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon throughout, with Gemini 4 Argon contributing to finding the vulnerability and validating the patch. OpenAI describes the gap between discovery and public exploitation as a "Defender's Window," proposes a five-stage response framework, and committed $1 billion in subsidised Daybreak model access for organizations with limited security resources. Honest caveats: these are OpenAI's and Wiz's own characterizations, and OpenAI also notes the same capabilities help attackers build offensive tooling faster. PHP 8.1 and older no longer receive updates from the PHP project.
