OpenAI has restricted the rollout of its GPT-5.6 model after a government request, saying such limitations should not be the norm. The news triggered speculation about cloud model reliance and boosted interest in local LLM alternatives. Some observers noted the development could benefit China's AI sector without direct effort.
A GPU modder operating a small lab in the US and working with Chinese factories warns that 96GB versions of the RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 are a scam as of June 2026. These cards do not exist, and no production is underway; sellers are exploiting the demand for high-VRAM local AI inference. The only recent high-capacity modded card the lab has received is a 32GB RTX 4080 Super, while 48GB RTX 4090 PCBs are in development. The modder urges the community to avoid any 96GB 4090 or 5090 offers.
A visitor to Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei electronics market inquired about rumors of 96 GB GeForce RTX 5090 cards. One seller said they could modify a standard RTX 5090 (36,000 yuan) by swapping in 96 GB of VRAM for an additional 20,000 yuan, bringing the total to approximately 56,000 yuan ($8,200). The vendor claimed a one-week lead time but did not demonstrate a working card. The post highlights that the VBIOS may not recognize the extra memory, making the modification infeasible, and no confirmation of a functional unit was obtained.
A Reddit user noticed that DeepSeek's application now has a vision mode that can describe images beyond OCR tasks. The user speculates this might indicate an upcoming vision model release.
