EU rejects mandate for old video game accessibility, other AI news covered

The EU has decided against mandating that publishers keep old video games accessible, rejecting a proposal that would have required them to maintain servers and offer updates for defunct titles. This decision aims to balance consumer access with the practical and financial burdens on publishers. Meanwhile, other AI-related news includes Tensordyne's focus on logarithmic math for performance gains, Vercel's new open-source agent framework, and concerns about the Home Office's AI age-estimation tool for asylum seekers.
