Windows 11 Insider builds 7 October 2026: New Windows Search, Cloud rebuild, IAKerb

Microsoft has shipped fresh Windows 11 Insider Preview builds to the Beta and Experimental channels, covering the 26H1 and Future Platforms tracks. On Experimental, Windows Search has been rebuilt on WinUI 3 and adds inline actions so you can change system settings straight from the search box. Beta picks up Cloud rebuild, a WinRE recovery path that reinstalls Windows from Windows Update. The Experimental channel also enables IAKerb by default to reduce NTLM fallback. Widgets, Task Manager, Narrator, and File Explorer see smaller updates.

Whisper.cpp 1.9.5

Вышла очередная версия нейросетевого преобразователя речи в текст Whisper.cpp, написанного на C++, и использующего библиотеку машинного обучения GGML и двоичный формат GGUF. Модель Whisper изначально создавалась OpenAI и считается одной из лучших.
В этой версии радикальных изменений нет, только множество исправлений, в том числе:

исправлена утечка памяти в функции read_audio_data;
выполнена инициализация по умолчанию для whisper_mel, чтобы избежать чтения неинициализированной памяти;
llama.cpp обновлён до версии 0.6.0;

📰 AMD PerfOpt Boosting Prior-Gen Ryzen APU Performance For AI

Last week I ran benchmarks of the new AMD PerfOpt feature being introduced in Linux 7.4. In those PerfOpt benchmarks on current-gen AMD Ryzen AI APUs/SoCs the AI performance improved as much as 18~23%. Several Phoronix readers expressed interest in seeing how prior-gen AMD Ryzen hardware benefited or not from PerfOpt, so here are some additional benchmarks.

Linux Mint 27 ‘Adrien’ is coming at Christmas

Linux Mint shook up its release schedule this year and now it’s shaking up its versioning scheme too – the next release won’t be Linux Mint 23, but Linux Mint 27. The new versioning scheme is based on the year, so the following release will be v28 and so on. The release also sees the start of a new series of release codenames. Linux Mint previously used (traditionally) female forenames. Having now spanned the entire alphabet – v1.0 ‘Ada’ in 2006 through the most recent v22.3 ‘Zena’ – Linux Mint is cycling back to ‘A’. Linux Mint 27 is codenamed […]

npm Trusted Publishing flaw put 1,500 packages at risk of takeover

GitHub has changed npm Trusted Publishing so unused configurations expire after 48 hours, addressing a flaw that put more than 1,500 packages at risk of takeover. Attackers could claim an abandoned GitHub repository name and publish under a package’s legitimate npm name—without stealing credentials. The exposed packages have more than 10 million downloads combined.
