The sustained smoothness has been proven with the help of 6yrs of anti-ageing tests in Vivo Labs.

Now if you zoom-in a bit, Vivo notes:

A 6-year smooth experience does not mean no latency at all.

Mystic GSI is now open-source!

YES, you read that right. After 3 years of building GSIs privately, we’ve finally decided to make our tool available for everyone. 

A bit of history first. On July 29, 2023, we released our very first GSI, ported from the Pixel 5a (barbet).
The idea behind the project was simple: stop depending on someone else and build our own GSIs from whatever firmware we wanted. 

Three years, ~1000+ GSIs and 17K of you later, and, the tool that can build a MysticGSI is finally public, so you can make your own without having to ask us ;)

Android 10 - 17 for many ROMs (HyperOS/MIUI, ColorOS/RealmeUI/OxygenOS, etc.)
Works on macOS & Linux. 

The repository is here 👈

Contributions, fixes and new patches are very welcome! 
As always, how well a GSI works depends on your device and luck ;)

Huge thanks to phhusson, erfanoabdi and Nippon (also Nippon, I’m really sorry for whatever I’ve said a while ago about your situation ;<), whose work made all of this possible! 

It feels very surreal to finally see this publicly available ;) 

Happy building! 🔥

Mihoyo is working on implementing AI to manage character's personalities, the goal is to create a more immersive experience by generating dialogues and actions tailor made to the players previous interactions, in regard to this a couple of days ago they presented an AI board game to the 2026 Yunqi conference:

Board games feature dense dialogue, clear rules, and outcomes at every step, making them a perfect test of whether AI characters can maintain their persona while assessing the situation, making choices, and remembering past "grudges" with the player.

As for the specifics of how to play, we won't go into details here.

What’s really interesting is:

The same set of characters and rules can lead to completely different relationships and stories depending on what players say and what choices they make.
