Valve prepares SteamGPT to boost Steam operations and block fraud accounts

Valve, which runs the global PC game platform Steam, appears to be preparing to introduce a generative AI tool called SteamGPT to improve internal efficiency such as incident reports and identification of abusive accounts. Reference data tied to SteamGPT was spotted in Steam client update files, with terms linked to generative AI systems. Leaked-file analysis suggests a focus on back-end operations, including report labeling and a summary function reviewing security variables to assess account trustworthiness.

Power demand surges from a single AI prompt put post-transformer architectures in focus

Surging electricity demand from the spread of AI is exposing the limits of transformer-based large language models and boosting calls for next-generation architectures. With many models still relying on more compute, layers and data, analysts expect data centre spending to rise sharply by 2030. Inference-focused models can consume far more power per prompt. Industry attention is turning to post-transformer designs that activate only relevant parts of a model, aiming to cut inference costs, reduce token use and remain compatible with existing infrastructure.

Without Korean-made transformers, AI would stall; U.S. big tech seeks help from South Korea\'s power equipment makers

Global big tech companies are pouring vast sums into building data centres to meet surging AI demand, but severe shortages of key power-infrastructure equipment such as transformers and batteries are putting about half of overall construction plans at risk of delay or cancellation. Reports cited in foreign media say delivery times for high-power transformers have stretched to as long as five years. With U.S. manufacturing capacity strained, companies are looking to global suppliers including South Korea.
