JHVEPhoto Adobe ( ADBE ) shares rose 2.5% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the company made several announcements at its Adobe Summit event and announced a $25B share buyback, prompting investment firm Citi to weigh in. “We come away from Adobe Summit with relatively measured views on shares, with AI product announcements largely incremental vs. transformative and a shorter Q&A focused investor meeting that lacked a reiteration of target,” Citi analyst Tyler Radke wrote in a note to clients. “While encouraging to see improving AI adoption resulting in three businesses (GenStudio, AEP + Apps, AEM + Agentic Web) now over $1B ARR growing >20% y/y, we remain concerned there is offsetting cannibalization on other core businesses (i.e., Stock last Q).” Radke, who kept his Neutral rating and $253 price target on Adobe, said that partner sentiment at the event was “mixed.” Consolidation and modernizing legacy programs are driving the pipeline, more so than new demand, while marketing budgets are still constrained. The $25B buyback shows management's confidence, but Radke said he would “have liked to get greater confidence on FY26 growth trajectory given the lapping of price headwinds and a seemingly more back-end loaded guide.” More on Adobe Adobe Inc.

A large Chinese cybersecurity firm is using artificial intelligence to identify security vulnerabilities in widely used software applications, positioning itself as a competitor to Anthropic PBC , according to a new report. The company, 360 Digital Security Group, has in recent months said it has developed an AI-powered “Vulnerability Discovery Agent” that has uncovered close to 1,000 previously unknown vulnerabilities, including in Microsoft ’s Office and in OpenClaw, an open-source framework for building and deploying AI agent workflows, according to the report published Wednesday by Natto Thoughts , a research group focused on Chinese cybersecurity. Representatives for 360 did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Earlier this year, Beijing-based 360 said it had developed AI tools that speed the identification of flaws and the construction of so-called exploit chains. which are required to hack into targeted computers, according to the report. The effort resembles the new AI model from Anthropic, Mythos, which the company says can autonomously uncover and exploit software flaws in popular technologies. The model is so powerful, according to Anthropic, that the company has only released it to a select group of organizations, encouraging them to use it to find and plug their holes before attackers do. The US government is also moving to make some version of Mythos available to federal agencies. China’s 360 said that its use of AI had evolved “from an auxiliary tool to the core engine of vulnerability discovery,” according to the report, which reviewed a series of recent Chinese-language announcements from the organization. Eugenio Benincasa, the author of the report and a senior researcher at ETH Zurich’s Center for Security Studies, said that 360 appears to be positioning itself as a direct competitor to Anthropic’s Mythos. Even if some of the company’s claims are overstated, he said, the developments point to the maturation of underlying capabilities. ...

Welcome to the Brussels Edition. I’m John Ainger, Bloomberg climate and energy reporter, bringing you the latest from the EU. Make sure you’re signed up . After its second full-blown energy crisis in just a few years, Europe is showing signs of fatigue. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 caused gas prices to surge to historic highs and crippled much of Europe’s industry. Just as that had started to fade into memory, the Iran war and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz is showing once again how vulnerable the region is to anything that threatens its supplies of fossil fuels. While the pain stemming from the Iran war is less acute, Europe is once again racing to contain the fallout. Today, the European Commission presented its plan — which it hopes will be the last — to weather the current energy crisis. Sixteen pages of text are dedicated to making sure member states coordinate on everything from filling gas storages to making sure there are enough supplies of jet fuel to go round. Crucially, it shows that the EU intends to make a big bet on electrification as the only way to kick its fossil-fuel addiction. Whether it succeeds in boosting the power sector — which has been stuck at a little more than 20% of the energy system for years in spite of a rapid renewables rollout — will be a key barometer for success. To do so, the EU will try once again to overhaul the bloc’s taxation system to favor electricity, but it’s an issue that typically requires the unanimous agreement of all 27 member states. “We need to move to energy independence ASAP,” the EU’s climate commissioner, Wopke Hoekstra , told me this morning on the sidelines of the Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Berlin. “It would make a hell of a lot of sense to agree on a target for electrification, which would finally bridge the sometimes overly ideological divide between those who are in favor of renewables and those who are in favor of nuclear,” he said. Hoekstra said he intends to make the Emissions Trading ...

400tmax/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Google ( GOOG ) released not one but two eighth-generation tensor processing units, or TPUs, at the Google Cloud Next 2026 event in Las Vegas. Google shares had edged up 1.5% during pre-market trading on Wednesday. The TPU 8t was designed for training artificial intelligence models, while the TPU 8i was built for running inference. It's the latest development in the trend of hyperscalers, such as Amazon ( AMZN ) and Microsoft ( MSFT ), building their own powerful processors to reduce reliance on traditional chipmakers such as Nvidia ( NVDA ) and AMD ( AMD ). Although these companies remain major clients for Nvidia, their in-house options provide themselves and customers with options. The TPU 8t leaps beyond the capabilities of Google's Ironwood, which was released last year at this time. A single TPU 8t superpod now scales to 9,600 chips and two petabytes of shared high-bandwidth memory, with double the interchip bandwidth of the previous generation. Meanwhile, the TPU 8i is designed with more memory bandwidth to serve latency-sensitive inference workloads, which is critical because interactions between agents at scale magnify small inefficiencies. The TPU 8i can hold up to 331.8 TB of HBM capacity per pod compared to only 49.2 TB in the prior generation. "In this age of AI agents, models must reason through problems, execute multi-step workflows, and learn from their own actions in continuous loops," said Google's chief technologist of AI and infrastructure, Amin Vahdat. "This places a new set of demands on infrastructure, and TPU 8t and TPU 8i were designed in partnership with Google DeepMind to take on the most demanding AI workloads and adapt to evolving model architectures at scale." To help these new AI systems run even more efficiently, Google has introduced Virgo Network . Since some new models in development require more training power than that provided by a single data center, Virgo unifies multiple data center d...

A string of violent incidents, including shootings and trucks set on fire, has been linked to Toronto’s towing industry When Cameron moved his family to a suburb north of Toronto last year, neighbours told him it one of the safest streets in the area. The roads were lined with cream-brick houses and manicured lawns. In summer, kids played between driveways; in winter, they dug tunnels through snowbanks. But any hope of a peaceful life on Allison Ann Way was shattered when a house across the street was shot at four times in five months. The most recent attack came in early February, as Cameron was leaving for work. Moments after his children had headed out for school, gunfire tore into the neighbour’s garage and a dark SUV sped off.

The US writers join four debut authors in demonstrating ‘the complexity and beauty of the female experience’, said chair of judges Julia Gillard Acclaimed US novelists Susan Choi and Lily King are among the writers shortlisted for this year’s Women’s prize for fiction, in a lineup dominated by debut authors and independent publishers. The six titles contending for the £30,000 award range from a US campus love story to a coming of age tale set in 1960s Bradford, but are connected by their consideration of “the complexity and beauty of the female experience”, said the former prime minister of Australia and judging chair Julia Gillard .

Thanks to Claudia Winkleman, leggings are now a sleek option if paired with a proper shoe and a smart top Wait, what? Leggings are back? I seem to remember I confidently killed them off about 10 minutes ago. Sorry about that. Turns out that the global fashion industry is no match for the colossus of modern culture that is Claudia Winkleman . Queen Claudia made black leggings – usually paired with a fancy blouse, or a delicious peacoat, or a sharp thigh-grazing blazer – her Traitors uniform, and now everyone wants to wear them again. To be clear, the comeback of leggings is not about what you wear to the gym. Fitness wear is still steering towards looser fits . Think yoga pants instead of leggings, waisted running shorts instead of cycling ones. Leggings are back, but as a sleek day-to-night option, to be worn with a proper shoe and a smart top.

Welcome to Next Africa, a daily newsletter on where the continent stands now — and where it’s headed. Sign up here to have it delivered to your email. In today’s edition, we look at the stalled deal to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. And: The Iran war is locking out food aid for famine-hit nations Nigeria’s president names a new finance minister Morocco unveils its tallest — rocket-shaped — building An Island Tussle A standoff over the Chagos Islands risks turning nasty, again. A UK delegation arrived in Mauritius this week for discussions on a pact that has become a perennial saga — over a tiny outcrop that’s home to a joint UK-US military base. The Indian Ocean island nation has been battling to regain control of the archipelago for the past seven decades. In 2019, the International Court of Justice found Britain’s 1965 takeover was unlawful, a ruling affirmed by the United Nations General Assembly. The UK agreed to cede control after lengthy negotiations and Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his Mauritian counterpart Navinchandra Ramgoolam signed an accord almost a year ago setting out the terms. Then Donald Trump stepped in . After initially backing the deal, which would have enabled the UK and US to maintain full operational control over the Diego Garcia base, the US president backtracked , posting on social media that relinquishing ownership was “an act of GREAT STUPIDITY.” The UK buckled under the pressure and abandoned efforts to get the accord offering Mauritius annual payments for 99 years ratified by parliament. Mauritius, which was anticipating a windfall now has a gaping hole in its budget — it faces a $215 million revenue shortfall in the current fiscal year alone — and its government has hinted at further legal action . “Le me be clear, we shall leave no stone unturned until the issue of the Chagos archipelago is resolved, diplomatically or otherwise,” Ramgoolam told lawmakers in Port Louis yesterday. While Mauritius would have the ...
