I only had a few minutes before I left for work to do the install and such and everything went fine.

I did notice the suspend mode message has changed.

Also I looked for an actual YouTube app and didn't see it.  I didn't try but I suspect the share button YouTube capability works but I was expecting an actual YouTube app as well either already installed as part of the update or available in the store.  I did a quick look through the menus and hopped onto the store and found nothing... maybe I just missed it in my haste?  Is there an actual YouTube app or not?

Yeah there is, in the store and on the XMB under video.

Well I was able to jump on today and get the update. It went smoothly.

 

All I have to say so far is thank you Sony! I'm excited to see the changes they have made. So far, it all seems good and I haven't run into any new issues as a result of the update.

 

I like some of the new streaming options such as being able to have everyone in my party that is using voice broadcast along with me. Of course uploading straight to YouTube at 1080p is very nice too.

 

Its just an overall nice update with lots of little improvements to the UI (simply cutting down on how much content is shown in the feed on the home page is welcome). I want to check out app reliability to see if that has improved and there are other changes/fixes I would like to see, but I like what I see so far.

I have to say I'm not happy with "Rest Mode". Standby was true standby. It still charged my controllers and the console was off.

Now there's a blinking Orange light instead of a solid light and the ps4 is in. I heard it when I was grabbing my controller and I felt the heat.

Why did they decide to make this change...

After rebuilding my database I was stupid enough to think that fixed the problem and PS4 was not leaving rest mode again. Ive been told to reinstall the software using option 3 on the safe mode menu. If that doesnt fix it then I'm glad I'm not using my PS4 for the next couple of months because this is ######ing redic. It wasn't broken before the update, what the hell did they do to break it

Just installed the 2.01 update this morning. Thankfully I never experienced the Rest Mode bug... Kinda hoped the patch would change it back to standby but meh.

Rest mode is Standby+Suspend - or, at least, that's the plan... lol

But it seems to be working great for downloading all the PS+ games, updates and DLC that is out today... :)

I've read reports that 2.01 didn't fix issues for everyone so I'm still weary about updating.

 

Anyone who ran into issues with 2.0 in the all clear now?

 

I can't speak for everyone but I had to unplug my PS4 twice after putting it in rest mode after the 2.0 update due to the flashing yellow and won't wake up issue.  After that I just avoided rest mode completely so I grabbed 2.01 as soon as I could and I've been using Rest mode again since with no issues.

well just reinstalling the 2.0 update via safe mode (this was before 2.01 was released) fixed the rest mode issues for me so I can't really say one way or the other

Speaking for myself...

 

When I got the 2.00 update, my apps went nuts (netflix, amazon, ets) would be working fine and then just randomly crash, sometimes the apps would let me back in or it wouldn't

 

Rest mode didn't give me that much of a headache, due to the fact I was simply doing a full shutdown of my PS4.

 

2.01 has let me rest a bit easier, as I've yet to run into issues... And I'm even using rest mode again.

 

 

And here is a completely off topic bonus for ya:  Child of Light is an awesome game.  I've just made it to Act 9 (right when Aurora turns big after retrieving the Moon from defeating Screpulum

 

I've owned this game forever and just now giving it a TLC play through.

Well I haven't run into any of the serious issues, so I think I'm in the clear with this latest update. I would definitely say its time to update at this point.


Came here because I heard someone talking abou PS4's 2.0 being a failure, but this thread seems to be the complete opposite.
 
Good to see quick fixes going in for any bugs that were in existence though. Good job. (Y)


Unfortunately 2.0 was kind of a failure due to the bugs introduced. However, the two small updates since have corrected most of the serious stuff. Sony was working hard to get these fixes out quick.

Well, that's completely stupid reasoning. Windows and every last bit of software ever must be a failure then... 

 

Failure would be you posting about how the update didn't go smoothly, and everyone being up in arms which isn't what I've seen here or in the other communities I frequent...

 

Ugh, I regret even posting now. :sleep2:

Sorry if I offended you....... Calling me stupid though... beneath you.

I was just saying that the 2.0 update caused problems. Maybe failure is too strong. When a windows updates comes out and results in bluescreen crashes, its a problem and people do get up in arms about it.

For some reason you took my reply to be some attack, which it wasn't. I never even had the issues others did and I was glad to see Sony quickly send out updates to fix the problem for those that did.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.

    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.

      I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
