More →Citi maintains a "Buy" rating on SK Hynix and raises its third-quarter operating profit forecast.
Citi issued a report expecting SK Hynix's third-quarter operating profit to be KRW 81.3 trillion, up 34% quarter-on-quarter and 614% year-on-year, 8% above market expectations. The bank expects third-quarter sales of KRW 101.2 trillion, up 28% quarter-on-quarter and 314% year-on-year. Citi noted that driven by strong demand for AI inference, increased memory demand for KV-cache workloads supported a 28% quarter-on-quarter rise in SK Hynix's third-quarter DRAM average selling price and a 24% quarter-on-quarter rise in NAND average selling price. The bank believes that as the adoption of continual learning increases, AI inference demand will continue to expand, driving eSSD demand to grow 52.9% year-on-year in 2027. Citi maintained its target price of KRW 3 million for SK Hynix's Korean shares and its "Buy" rating unchanged.

Hermes founder plans to build an AI game studio: writing code, creating art, and even playtesting and bug hunting are all intended to be handed over to agents.
According to news from Bijie, the founder of Hermes announced plans to establish an AI game studio, aiming to hand over multiple stages of game development to AI agents, including writing game logic, creating character and scene assets, and handling music and sound effects. Developer Luke proposed having multiple sub-agents collaborate with a division of labor, with a dedicated agent ultimately playtesting the game and reporting bugs. Teknium listed the capabilities that still need to be added, including 3D model generation, animation, sound effects, and connections to the Unity and Godot game engines, with all functions to be implemented through plugins without modifying the Hermes core. Hermes already possesses programming, image generation, and sub-agent collaboration capabilities. The official team previously launched a Blender plugin and supports controlling the Unreal Engine editor through MCP. A similar approach was previously attempted in the open-source project Claude Code Game Studios.
