The current CPUs have tens of cores, and each core has to fight to run thousands of tasks effectively. Over the years, Linux has been using general purpose schedulers which provide fairness and throughput but at large scale services reveal their flaws. In 2025, Meta announced that it had switched to a surprisingly simple solution, which is a Linux scheduling method first created by Valve on the Steam Deck. By borrowing ideas from handheld gaming, Meta found a practical way to untangle messy CPU scheduling in its server fleet。

Xiaomi made the transition from making smartphones to becoming a serious player in electric vehicles after several years of progress. The company established its automotive operations in 2021 when it started making electric vehicles at its Beijing factory which features advanced automated manufacturing technology. The facility today stands as one of China's most advanced production centers for electric vehicles which operate in its expanding electric vehicle manufacturing field.

The factory design contains automation features which extend through all of its construction elements. The plant operates with approximately 600 to 700 industrial robots which perform welding and assembly and quality inspection work according to Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun. The facility achieves maximum production automation through its extensive robot network which enables it to produce a high output of vehicles.

The latest Xiaomi experiment includes new technology which moves beyond traditional factory robotic systems. The company now uses humanoid robots which can perform human work instead of depending on fixed industrial machines.
