In its November 13, 2026, technology roundup, Sspai reported changes and product announcements across AI, software and gaming. The article names sources for several claims but does not link to the underlying announcements or filings.
Nvidia leadership
Sspai reported that Nvidia’s board accepted co-founder Jensen Huang’s resignation on November 11 and announced on November 12 that he had stepped down as president, CEO and a director, effective immediately. It said the changes were recorded in a Form 8-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. According to the report, chief financial officer Colette Kress will also serve as interim CEO while the board considers internal and external candidates, and longtime director Harvey C. Jones has become chairman. The article says Nvidia disclosed no reason for Huang’s departure. It also reports that the company planned to release its fiscal 2027 third-quarter results on November 17 as scheduled.
AI models and developer tools
Apex Compute announced a beta of ANR frame generation for supported Nvidia, AMD and Intel graphics hardware and Steam Deck. Its published speed, memory-use and image-quality comparisons with Nvidia DLSS have not been independently verified, Sspai noted. The company’s super-resolution and ray-reconstruction models were still in development.
Tencent introduced Yuanbao Search, an AI search product available at so.qq.com and as a search-engine option in the latest QQ Browser. Sspai reported that it can search web pages and Tencent services, summarize results and handle follow-up questions. Tencent said advertisements would be labelled separately and would not affect organic-result rankings.
ByteDance’s Volcano Engine introduced Seedance 2.5 flash for video generation. According to the company, it is about 34% cheaper and twice as fast as the flagship Seedance 2.5 model, while supporting clips of up to 30 seconds. Its API was planned for November 15.
Sspai also reported three Google releases: the Gemini 4 Hydrogen model, the Gemini Decisions API for making multiple classifications in one request, and A2UI 1.0, a stable version of its protocol for agent-generated interactive interfaces. Google’s reported performance and safety improvements for Hydrogen remain company claims, except where the article attributes benchmark figures to Artificial Analysis. Separately, Doubao Work added third-party model options from Kimi, GLM and DeepSeek, allowing users to choose models by task and see their quota-consumption rates.
Gaming
At the 44th Golden Joystick Awards, held in London on November 11, Resident Evil Requiem won Ultimate Game of the Year with 17% of the public vote, Sspai reported. Phantom Blade Zero placed second with 16%, followed by Crimson Desert with 15%. The report also named the Steam Controller as the winner of Best Gaming Hardware.
