Escape From Tarkov released on Steam on November 15, taking the excellent extraction shooter out of beta after a mere eight years, and almost immediately had a bit of a wobble. Players found themselves unable to log in, with demand being such that developer Battlestate Games acknowledged severe server woes, and then came the inevitable review bombing from those who couldn’t play. Welcome to Steam, comrade!
“What a week,” wrote director and Battlestate COO Nikita Buyanov on X. “This week was actual stress testing not only of our servers but also our mind and nerves for sure. But seeing you enjoy the game makes us feel better.”
Stuff like server issues and bugs can be fixed, of course, though people also have issues with Tarkov’s full release that aren’t going away: primarily, existing owners having to re-buy the game on Steam. That’s not going to change, though presumably the disquiet will die down over time (and while it would’ve been nice, existing owners can of course still play through the Battlestate launcher).
Buyanov went on to discuss the near future for the game in the runup to the new year, though stopped short of offering any details on the long-teased Scav Life DLC, which will focus on the game’s unloved third faction.

“We plan to use this couple of months to prioritize and get more and more fixes and improvements into the game,” says Buyanov. “Also there will be winter in Tarkov, new storyline quests, new events. Sometime after there will be the introduction of seasonal characters with the whole new seasons system.”
Tarkov traditionally has weather events, with the landscape typically covered in snow from late November until spring: it makes everything prettier, and crunches underfoot so it’s even easier for other players to hear and headshot you.
Buyanov signs off by announcing the “traditional New Year TarkovTV in December” with “all of the additional info”, and has put up two time-limited codes for some in-game goodies: “SCAVYBOI” and, for a free drill, “ITSADRILL“.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
Valve will not say what the Steam Machine‘s price is just yet, and in this information vacuum, people are offering all kinds of different theories and guesses as to what the six-inch cube-like system may cost. Now, Valve has yet again commented on the pricing question, providing potentially the best clue yet, while also saying the company cannot or will not disclose pricing yet due to “a lot of external things.”
Speaking to Skill Up–which is co-hosted by GameSpot’s Lucy James–Valve software engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais said people can expect the price of the Steam Machine to be close to what it might cost to build a PC with “basically the same level of performance.”
“I think that if you build a PC from parts and get to basically the same level of performance, that’s the general price window that we aim to be at,” he said, as reported by IGN. “Ideally we’d be pretty competitive with that and have a pretty good deal, but we’re working on refining that as we speak. Right now is just a hard time to have a really good idea of what the price is going to be because there’s a lot of different things… a lot of external things.”
Those “external things” could be elements like tariffs, which have contributed to growing prices for all manner of goods in 2025 since US President Donald Trump controversially rolled them out.
Also in the interview, Griffais confirmed that Valve is not going to take the approach that Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have in the past in terms of selling the system at a loss and making up the difference with game and accessory sales.
“No. It’s more in-line with what you might expect from the current PC market. Obviously, our goal is for it to be a good deal at that level of performance,” he said.
The Steam Machine price will also take into account the system’s unique small form factor and the noise level that Valve says it’s achieved. “We’re excited that people are going to find out how quiet this thing is,” he said. The Steam Machine also integrates HDMI and CEC, and allows people to turn their TV on and off straight from the device. Additionally, it makes use of new Bluetooth and wireless connectivity systems that Valve designed. “That’s all hard to do,” Griffais said.
“So being able to sit down on your couch, press one button on your controller, and the whole thing lights up like you’d expect for a thing that’s in your living room, I think that’s really valuable. And there’s not really a price point to that because it’s not really something that exists in the PC market right now,” he explained.
Another factor to consider is that your time is money, and some people would rather pay a little more for a company like Valve to do the work for them. “For me one of the benefits of Steam Machine is, I’m someone who used to build my PC in college and I am too old and tired to do that now!” designer Lawrence Yang explained.
Predictions about how much the Steam Machine may cost are all over the place. One expert believes $400 is the sweet spot for the entry model, while others believe it could be more than $1,000. Others believe it may be priced similarly to the PS5.
“Tariffs, surging memory / storage costs, supply chain volatility, and an inability to subsidize to the same extent as traditional console manufacturers are all working against Valve at the moment,” Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad said. “That being said, the specs suggest Valve wanted this to be in line with PS5 pricing.”
Officially, Valve has only said its goal is for the Steam Machine to be “affordable” and priced according to the value it offers. This is pretty much what every company says about their products, so these comments don’t tell us much of anything.
The Steam Machine launches in 2026, but preorders are not yet open and the exact launch timing has not been confirmed as of yet. For now, check out GameSpot’s rundown of everything we know about the Steam Machine.
Gemini 3 Pro reclaims AI benchmarks, outperforming previous models and dominating both LMArena and WebDev Arena leaderboards.
New AI mode enhances Google Search with multimodal responses, offering smarter, concise interactions for users.
Gemini 3 introduces breakthrough features in Google Antigravity, enabling advanced agentic development and independent coding capabilities.
In a landmark release, Google has unveiled Gemini 3, its most advanced AI model yet, now available across various platforms. With top scores on major benchmarks, Gemini 3 Pro promises unprecedented reasoning and multimodal capabilities, redefining user interaction.
The Gemini 3 rollout marks the first time Google is shipping a new AI model in Search on day one. AI Mode in Search users can leverage the model’s better reasoning and agentic coding capabilities to get help with tougher questions, while creating multimodal responses that include text and interactive visuals. It’s also arriving in the Gemini app, bringing a Gemini Agent that can handle multi-step tasks independently.
Gemini 3 launches with Gemini 3 Pro in preview, plus a sneak peek at Gemini 3 Deep Think, an even smarter AI model that will come to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the coming weeks. Google says more Gemini 3 versions will be released “soon” as the company builds out its next-generation suite of AI models.
Gemini 3 reclaims the top spot on the LMArena and WebDev Arena leaderboards

Google’s Gemini 2.5 models, released in March 2025, performed well on top AI benchmarks for months before losing ground to xAI and Anthropic models of late. Gemini 3 Pro flips that trend, as the AI model leads both the LMArena and WebDev Arena leaderboards immediately following its launch. Compared to Gemini 2.5 Pro, the new model significantly outperforms it on every major AI benchmark.
Notably, Gemini 3 Pro tops the LMArena leaderboard with a score of 1,501 points, dethroning Grok 4.1 Thinking, which earned a score of 1,483 points. For perspective, the Gemini 2.5 Pro model slotted in at third place with 1,452 points before Gemini 3 Pro’s release. In other benchmarks, like Humanity’s Last Exam, Gemini 3 Pro scored 37.5% without tool use — a result that demonstrates PhD-level reasoning, according to Google.
For the average user, Gemini 3 crucially “brings a new level of depth and nuance to every interaction.” AI models tend to have a people-pleasing nature to them. They tell users what they want to hear, not what is actually true. Gemini 3 Pro responses are “smart, concise, and direct” by comparison, aiming to dispel the notion that AI models can’t tell users what they need to hear.

For website creation and generative user-interface design, Gemini 3 is “the best vibe coding and agentic coding model” Google says it has ever built. That’s demonstrated by a leading 1,487 ELO score on the WebDev Arena leaderboard, and better performance on Terminal-Bench 2.0 and SWE-bench Verified benchmarks. The result is a Gemini 3 Pro model that can build playable 3D video games from scratch, create websites, or fulfill your vibe-coding needs.

For better performance, there’s Gemini 3 Deep Think, improving results on Humanity’s Last Exam to 41% without tool use. It pushes Gemini 3’s reasoning and multimodal understanding capabilities further, helping users solve the most complex of problems. This model is currently undergoing extra safety evaluations and will reach safety testers before it hits Google AI Ultra subscribers in the coming weeks.
Gemini 3 is now live in Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity
(Image credit: Google)
Gemini 3 is not only widely rolling out in Google’s consumer products, it’s also becoming available for developers. It’s available today in Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, and Gemini CLI, as well as third-party sites like Cursor, GitHub, JetBrains, Manus, and Replit. Most importantly, Gemini 3 is the foundation for Google Antigravity, a brand-new agentic development platform.
Google Antigravity is essentially an AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE). This isn’t new, but Antigravity’s smarter AI agents separates itself from every other IDE. Gemini 3’s new features, like advanced reasoning and better agentic coding capabilities, form AI agents in Antigravity that have unprecedented permissions.
AI agents have direct access to the editor, terminal, and browser in Google Antigravity, allowing them to become coding partners that can plan, execute, and validate software tasks independently. The platform uses a mix of Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Computer Use, and Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Image) to enable end-to-end agentic workflows.
Try Gemini 3 now in the Gemini app and Google Search

Gemini 3 Pro is rolling out to Google’s consumer products, including Search and the Gemini app. Google Search users subscribed to Google AI Pro or Ultra can try it by selecting the “Thinking” model in AI Mode. It’ll soon come to all AI Mode in Search users in the U.S., but for now, it’s a paid exclusive.
In the coming weeks, AI Pro and Ultra users will get a new automatic model selector in Search that routes challenging requests to flagship Gemini 3 models, while sending simpler tasks to quicker and more efficient models.
Gemini 3’s better understanding allows AI Mode to use the query fan-out method to perform more searches at once and uncover new content based on your intent. By correctly understanding the purpose of a user’s request, Gemini 3 and AI Mode can surface relevant information that it previously would’ve ignored on older models.
(Image credit: Google)
AI Mode also uses generative UI to create interactive and engaging learning tools in responses to searches, like images, tables, and grids. It can go one step further to code a custom simulation or create a tool in real-time, if your prompt requires it.
Gemini 3 Pro is available now in Google Search for subscribers and the Gemini app for all users.
One of the things that fascinates me is doing in-depth studies of the attributes of God. When I first started studying this topic, I errantly thought that I’d be studying maybe 10 of God’s attributes.
Two years later, I’m STILL studying His attributes. They are vast and they are all there, recorded in the pages of Scripture for us to see and know.
God is not a God who hides. He does not keep His will from us, nor does He turn His back on us. He WANTS to be known. The more we learn about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the more peace we have in life because we learn to trust Him with everything.
These last few years of studying His attributes in depth have been one of the most amazing times in my life, where I’ve truly gotten to know my Father much more than I ever have in my entire life.
I would encourage EVERY Christian to hurriedly start with studying all His attributes and learning more about the God we call Savior. It will truly change your entire life!!! 💯

The interview began with Baszucki describing the feature, which will require all users who want to submit a face scan if they want to access Roblox’s messaging features. But by the time he was asked about a report claiming the company had prioritized growth over safety, Baszucki seemed to tire of the topic, responding, “Fun. Let’s keep going down this.”
And when co-host Kevin Roose agreed that one of the best ways for Roblox to improve child safety is to improve its AI models, Baszucki insisted, “Good, so you’re aligning with what we did. High-five.”
“And I want to highlight, I came here because I love your podcast and came to talk about everything,” he added. “So if our PR people said, ‘Let’s talk about age-gating for an hour,’ I’m up for it, but I love your pod. I thought I came here to talk about everything.”
Hooded Horse, the publisher behind this game, is on an incredible streak. They’ve been consistently delivering hit after hit, with titles like Against the Storm, Cataclismo, and He Is Coming proving nearly impossible to put down. Now Super Fantasy Kingdom joins the line-up, and it’s another one of those “just one more run” experiences that’s hard to quit.
Super Fantasy Kingdom is a roguelike city builder where you play as either the human or undead kingdom, trying to improve with each attempt. Every run lasts up to 28 days, and the better you perform, the more glory you earn, unlocking new areas, roads, and permanent upgrades. As you progress, you’ll gain access to stronger starting resources, new heroes, units, and other meaningful rewards that make each run feel fresh.
Defeating bosses grants stars that open up new features for both kingdoms, encouraging you to switch between them to explore what’s new. Progress can occasionally feel slow, but one strong run can completely reshape your strategy or open up an entirely new landscape to experiment with.
It’s also an excellent fit for the Steam Deck, where it’s even more dangerously addictive. Super Fantasy Kingdom is a joyful city builder that lets you set your own pace, rewarding careful planning—or punishing rash decisions. Either way, you’ll constantly find yourself saying, “just one more run,” and more often than not, it’s worth it.

Why the Eastern AI Revolution matters for developers
Chinese AI companies are no longer chasing the West; they’re redefining the state of the art. In 2025, Chinese open‑source models such as Kimi K2, Qwen 3, and GLM 4.5 achieved SWE‑bench scores within a few points of the best Western models while costing 10–100× less. This disruptive price‑performance ratio is not a fluke – it’s rooted in strategic choices: optimized coding performance, agentic tool integration, and a focus on open licensing.
A new benchmark of excellence
The SWE‑bench benchmark, released by researchers at Princeton, tests whether language models can resolve real GitHub issues across multiple files. Early versions of GPT‑4 barely solved 2 % of tasks; yet by 2025 these Chinese models were solving 64–67 %. Importantly, their context windows and tool‑calling abilities enable them to handle entire codebases rather than toy problems.
Creative example: The 10x cost disruption
Imagine a startup building an AI coding assistant. It needs to process 1 B tokens per month. Using a Western model might cost $2,500–$15,000 monthly. By adopting GLM 4.5 or Kimi K2, the same workload could cost $110–$150, allowing the company to reinvest savings into product development and hardware. This economic leverage is why developers worldwide are paying attention.
Expert Insights
Princeton researchers highlight that SWE‑bench tasks require models to understand multiple functions and files simultaneously, pushing them beyond simple code completions.

Industry commentators note that open licensing and local deployment options are driving rapid adoption.
Meet the models: Overview of Kimi K2, Qwen 3 Coder and GLM 4.5
Overview of Kimi K2
Kimi K2 is Moonshot AI’s flagship model. It employs a Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) architecture with 1 trillion total parameters, but only 32 B activate per token. This sparse design means you get the power of a huge model without massive compute requirements. The context window tops out at 130 K tokens, enabling it to ingest entire microservice codebases. SWE‑bench Verified scores place it at around 65 %, competitive with Western proprietary models. The model is priced at $0.15 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens, making it suitable for high‑volume deployments.
Kimi K2 shines in agentic coding. Its architecture supports multi‑step tool integration, so it can not only generate code but also execute functions, call APIs, and run tests autonomously. A mixture of eight active experts handle each token, allowing domain‑specific expertise to emerge. The modified MIT license permits commercial use with minor attribution requirements.
Creative example: You’re tasked with debugging a complex Python application. Kimi K2 can load the entire repository, identify the problematic functions, and write a fix that passes tests. It can even call an external linter via Clarifai’s tool orchestration, apply the recommended changes, and verify them – all within a single interaction.
Expert Insights
Industry evaluators highlight that Kimi K2’s 32 B active parameters allow high accuracy with lower inference costs.
The K2 Thinking variant extends context to 256 K tokens and exposes a reasoning_content field for transparency.
Analysts note K2’s tool‑calling success in multi‑step tasks; it can orchestrate 200–300 sequential tool calls.
Overview of Qwen 3 Coder
Qwen 3 Coder—often referred to as Qwen 3.25—balances power and flexibility. With 480 B total parameters and 35 B active, it offers robust performance on coding benchmarks and reasoning tasks. Its hallmark is the 256 K token native context window, which can be expanded to 1 M tokens using context extension techniques. This makes Qwen particularly suited to repository‑scale refactoring and cross‑file understanding.
A unique feature is the dual thinking modes: Rapid mode for instantaneous completions and Deep thinking mode for complex reasoning. Dual modes let developers choose between speed and depth. Pricing varies by provider but tends to be in the $0.35–0.60 range per million input tokens, with output costs around $1.50–2.20. Qwen is released under Apache 2.0, allowing wide commercial use.
Creative example: An e‑commerce company needs to refactor a 200 k‑line JavaScript monolith to modern React. Qwen 3 Coder can load the entire repository thanks to its long context, refactor components across files, and maintain coherence. Its Rapid mode will quickly fix syntax errors, while Deep mode can redesign architecture.
Expert Insights
Evaluators emphasise Qwen’s polyglot support of 358 programming languages and 119 human languages, making it the most versatile.
The dual‑mode architecture helps balance latency and reasoning depth.
Independent benchmarks show Qwen achieves 67 % on SWE‑bench Verified, edging out its peers.
Overview of GLM 4.5

A lighter Air variant uses 106 B total / 12 B active and runs on 32–64 GB VRAM, making self‑hosting more accessible. The context window sits at 128 K tokens, which covers 99 % of real use cases.
GLM 4.5’s standout feature is its agent‑native design: it incorporates planning and tool execution into its core. Evaluations show a 90.6 % tool‑calling success rate, the highest among open models. It supports a Thinking Mode and a Non‑Thinking Mode; developers can toggle deep reasoning on or off. The model is priced around $0.11 per million input tokens and $0.28 per million output tokens. Its MIT license allows commercial deployment without restrictions.
Creative example: A fintech startup uses GLM 4.5 to build an AI agent that automatically responds to customer tickets. The agent uses GLM’s tool calls to fetch account data, run fraud checks, and generate responses. Because GLM runs fast on modest hardware, the company deploys it on a local Clarifai runner, ensuring compliance with financial regulations.
Expert Insights
GLM 4.5’s 90.6 % tool‑calling success surpasses other open models.
Z.AI documentation emphasises its low cost and high speed with API costs as low as $0.2 per million tokens and generation speeds >100 tokens per second.
Independent tests show GLM 4.5’s Air variant runs on consumer GPUs, making it appealing for on‑prem deployments.
How do these models differ in architecture and context windows?
Understanding Mixture‑of‑Experts and reasoning modes
All three models employ Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE), where only a subset of experts activates per token. This design reduces computation while enabling specialised experts for tasks like syntax, semantics, or reasoning. Kimi K2 selects 8 of its 384 experts per token, while Qwen 3 uses 35 B active parameters for each inference. GLM 4.5 also uses 32 B active experts but builds agentic planning into the architecture.
Context windows: balancing memory and cost
Kimi K2 & GLM 4.5: ~128–130 K tokens. Perfect for typical codebases or multi‑document tasks.
Qwen 3 Coder: 256 K tokens native; extendable to 1 M tokens with context extrapolation. Ideal for large repositories or research where long contexts improve coherence.
K2 Thinking: extends to 256 K tokens with transparent reasoning, exposing intermediate logic via the reasoning_content field.
Longer context windows also increase costs and latency. Feeding 1 M tokens into Qwen 3 could cost $1.20 just for input processing. For most applications, 128 K suffices.
Reasoning modes and heavy vs light modes
Qwen 3 offers Rapid and Deep modes: choose speed for autocompletion or depth for architecture decisions.
GLM 4.5 offers Thinking Mode for complex reasoning and Non‑Thinking Mode for fast responses.
K2 Thinking includes a Heavy Mode, running eight reasoning trajectories in parallel to boost accuracy at the cost of compute.
Creative example
If you’re analysing a legal contract with 500 pages, Qwen 3’s 1 M token window can ingest the entire document and produce summaries without chunking. For everyday tasks like debugging or design, 128 K is sufficient, and using GLM 4.5 or Kimi K2 will reduce costs.
Expert Insights
Z.AI documentation notes that GLM 4.5’s Thinking Mode and Non‑Thinking Mode can be toggled via the API, balancing speed and depth.
DataCamp emphasises that K2 Thinking uses a reasoning_content field to reveal each step, enhancing transparency.
Researchers caution that longer context windows drive up costs and may only be necessary for specialised tasks.

The final season of Stranger Things is mere days away. Netflix will release the first batch of episodes from season 5 — which is being dubbed Volume 1 — on Wednesday, Nov. 26, just in time for Thanksgiving. Ahead of that, though, we have gotten the official trailer for Volume 1, which packs quite a punch.
In the clip, we see just our favorite Hawkins kids preparing for their final battle against Vecna. More importantly, though, we see the arrival of the Upside Down into the real world. A portal opens up, launching an army of horrifying Demogorgons into our world. And it looks like they’re hunting our friends, even cornering them in a system of caves at one point.
Surprisingly, it’s Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) who seems to be taking on a leadership role this season. He comes off as the man making the plans, taking point on missions with Steve and the group. He even solemnly tells his friends, “I want to see Vecna’s heart on a platter.” What happened to the sweet young man that sang the theme of The NeverEnding Story with his girlfriend over a ham radio?
It’s probably a good thing he’s in charge, though, because there’s basically no adult supervision in the trailer. Hopper (David Harbour) appears in one shot with Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Joyce (Winona Ryder) is nowhere to be seen, and Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman) looks like he’s just there to yell and drive.
The trailer was first revealed at Netflix’s One Last Bike Ride event on Sunday. The event shut down Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles, allowing people to walk, run, skate, or ride all over a street that’s usually stuffed with cars. While there were games, contests, and a live musical performance for those that attended, the main event was trailer’s premiere on the main stage.
Netflix’s Stranger Things 5 Volume 1 is coming in hot on Nov. 26, so prepare your Thanksgiving viewing plans now.
