Supported Firmware
Before you ask "when latest fw"
Retail firmware is already past scene numbering 14.xx (public installer shows something like 26.06-14.10.00) - the exploit chain is frozen at 13.60. That gap isn't closing on a schedule. No ETA exists. Asking in Discord won't summon one faster.
and then he asked "eta when 8.xx" in #general

Why no M.2 on 3.xx?
The PS5 fails to boot with an M.2 attached on 3.xx firmware.
Which Firmware Should I Be On?
