Welcome to Tech In Depth, our daily newsletter about the business of tech from Bloomberg’s journalists around the world. Today, Rebecca Torrence reports on the biggest name making the rounds at the HumanX conference on artificial intelligence. Tech Across the Globe Meta introduces Muse Spark: Meta debuted its first artificial intelligence model since embarking on a multibillion-dollar overhaul of the company’s AI organization. Paramount departure: Jeff Shell is stepping down as president of Paramount following a contentious lawsuit by a high-stakes gambler who accused him of leaking inside information. Samsung share sale : A Samsung family member is selling as much as $2.1 billion in shares of the electronics company in one of the biggest such offerings in South Korea. Revalued Telecom tycoon Patrick Drahi has shortlisted bidders for a controlling stake in French fiber optic company XpFibre, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Investment firm DigitalBridge and KKR have been picked to enter the next round of bidding. Brookfield Asset Management and Vauban Infrastructure Partners are also part of the process. The initial offers from the shortlisted bidders valued the business at about €8 billion ($9.4 billion) including debt, according to one of the people. Dominant force This week, San Francisco’s Moscone Center hosted thousands of AI entrepreneurs, researchers and investors — skeptics and zealots — for the annual HumanX conference. In the hallways, we overheard attendees speaking about “pivoting to enterprise” and cutting staff thanks to artificial intelligence making their companies more efficient. One techie on a scooter sidled up to conference-goers in a bid to entice them to check out his AI startup’s booth, one of dozens filling the convention hall. Despite that volume, one company has been on everyone’s mind: Anthropic. On Monday, Anthropic said it had reached a revenue run rate of $30 billion , already surpassing the target it previously expecte...

(Rough Trade) Smoothing out the jump-cut chaos of his previous band, Cameron Picton brings entirely acoustic instrumentation to bear on these lovely, beguiling songs In the middle of Hellfire, the final album by British art-rockers Black Midi, lurked a song called Still. It was easy to overlook. As you may recall, Hellfire was a rock opera that – even by the standards of rock operas, seldom the first place to look for a linear, elevator-pitch-friendly plot – made no sense whatsoever: there was some business about a boxing match, an actor who exploded on stage, and a set of army recruits with names such as Tristan Bongo and Mrs Gonorrhoea. It was admittedly difficult to pay attention to the narrative, distracted as one was by the sound of Black Midi continually doing their nut in their traditionally maximalist style: scrabbly riffs, jagged chords, free-blowing sax, bursts of noise, cocktail jazz interludes, Beefheartian rhythms, bursts of accordion, the sound of the kitchen sink being dragged into the studio etc. Amid all that, what price a sweetly lambent acoustic track, with a little country and a dab of bucolic Canterbury prog in its DNA, sung not by frontman Geordie Greep in one of his apparently fathomless array of funny voices, but by bassist Cameron Picton, a man possessed of an understated, guileless vocal style? It’s hard not to think of Still when considering Picton’s first post-Black Midi album as My New Band Believe, recorded with a host of left-field and improv-friendly musicians, among them veteran drummer Steve Noble, once of skronky 80s post-punk hellraisers Rip Rig + Panic. While Greep’s 2024 solo debut The New Sound offered the full sonic smorgasbord familiar to Black Midi fans – all the sudden leaps from samba to heavy riffing and Zappa-ish jazz-rock your heart might desire – My New Band Believe’s eponymous debut could be read as an album that takes Still as its starting point.

‘No one gives us a chance … we have to show the fight’ Champions League first-leg loss was side’s 16th of season Virgil van Dijk has compared the scale of Liverpool’s task against Paris Saint-Germain to Barcelona in 2019 but conceded belief may not be as strong in Arne Slot’s team amid an “unacceptable” season. Liverpool require another remarkable Anfield comeback to salvage their Champions League aspirations after losing the first leg of their quarter-final against PSG 2-0 on Wednesday. The scoreline flattered the Premier League champions, who were outclassed at the Parc des Princes, yet Van Dijk is “100%” convinced the tie can be transformed on home soil. Memories of Barcelona in 2019 fuel the captain’s conviction. Continue reading...

An ambitious ‘refaunation’ project is bringing the much-loved birds and other lost species back to the city’s national park Images of the iconic blue-and-yellow macaw can be spotted all over Rio de Janeiro. Yet the real thing has been seen so rarely in the Brazilian city that some wondered if it ever really existed there at all. The French explorer Jean de Léry first described an abundance of the giant, colourful parrots around Indigenous tribes in the 16th century, and the Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer sighted the Ara ararauna in the city in 1818.

Macrogenics ( MGNX ) shares traded higher in the premarket on Thursday after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) removed a partial clinical hold imposed on a mid-stage trial for its lead candidate, lorigerlimab. In February, the FDA slapped the Rockville, Maryland-based biotech with a partial hold on its Phase 2 LINNET study designed to evaluate lorigerlimab in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) or clear cell gynecologic cancer. While dosing was allowed to continue, the regulator barred the company from adding new patients to the trial following the decision, which came after four patients who received lorigerlimab experienced safety events. In a statement on Wednesday, Macrogenics ( MGNX ) stated that, with the partial hold now lifted, it can begin enrolling new patients to LINNET under a revised trial protocol that includes additional safety measures targeting potential blood- and heart-related side effects. The company is on track to provide a program update from LINNET in mid-2026. More on MacroGenics MacroGenics, Inc.

Here’s how that’s changing retail CNBC Digital Original Video Michelle Suter has worn mostly big and baggy clothing for years. The 63-year-old retiree who lives in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri gave away her favorite sundresses and other form-fitting outfits, thinking she'd never be those smaller sizes again. Now, after losing about 28 pounds while taking GLP-1 drug Wegovy, she said she has started to dream of her new wardrobe. "That's part of the excitement — to wear things that are new and fit rather than old clothes that you can tie the drawstring tighter," she said. Michelle Suter, a retiree who lives near St. Louis, has been taking a GLP-1 drug and is halfway towards her weight loss goal. Yet already she said she has bought some smaller T-shirts and a pair of Hoka sneakers as her size dropped and she went on longer walks with her two dogs. As more U.S. consumers take weight loss and diabetes drugs and shed significant pounds, fashion brands and retailers could have a fresh opportunity — selling to shoppers like Suter who plan to refresh their closets. Sales of bigger bra sizes have fallen, market research firm Circana said, referring to that as a leading indicator that will likely carry over to other clothing categories. Some retailers, including personal styling service Stitch Fix , have already noticed a jump in the number of customers mentioning weight loss as a reason why they're shopping for new outfits. Some of the key barriers to the medications have begun to fade: the drugs are available in pill form, and prices have fallen for people without insurance coverage for them. This week, Eli Lilly 's GLP-1 pill, Foundayo, started shipping from the company's direct-to-consumer platform, and it will soon be available at pharmacies and on some telehealth services.

For $599, the Neo offers fantastic build quality and solid performance in a sleek and ultra-portable package. Windows laptops in this price range tend to be ugly, cheap-feeling, and a little slow. Despite years of rumors, the MacBook Neo still seemed to take the Windows world by surprise. I expect proper competitors to pop up just as soon as the companies can manage, but I wanted to see what the competition in the PC space is like now. So I asked a bunch of laptop manufacturers to send me their best answers to the MacBook Neo. The MacBook Neo is a 13-i … Read the full story at The Verge.

Empty faucets, shuttered storefronts, scant arrivals and departures. Such has been the beleaguered state of Venezuela’s Simón Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetía, about an hour outside the capital Caracas, after years of mismanagement and US economic sanctions. As investors jet back in, it’s slowly flickering back to life. Most of the toilets are working again. Commercial spaces that sat vacant for years are reopening. Passenger services such as VIP lounges, waiting areas, car rentals and nearby hotels are improving as authorities welcome back international carriers, part of a broader effort to restore the country’s primary gateway after a prolonged era of isolation. “For the first time in about a decade and a half, there is real positive momentum around Venezuela’s aviation market,” said Peter Cerdá, regional vice president for the Americas at the International Air Transport Association. “But there will need to be significant improvements to infrastructure, including taxiways, runways, terminal facilities and passenger experience. That requires investment, training and resources, all of which have been very limited in recent years,” Cerdá said. “We’re still in the early stages of what will be a long process.” At least six international carriers resumed flights in March, including Colombia’s Avianca , Chile’s Latam Airlines , Turkish Airlines , Air Europa and Brazil’s Gol. American Airlines , through its regional carrier Envoy, plans to return after the US Transportation Department approved in early March its request to operate flights to Caracas and Maracaibo from Miami. No official date has been announced yet. The renaissance is starting to nudge out a clutch of start-up carriers such as Laser and Avior that serviced Venezuela when more established airlines would not. The reopening is gathering pace as US President Donald Trump ’s administration rapidly dismantles sanctions and encourages foreign investment in Venezuela’s battered oil industry. A few weeks ...

A US lithium developer is preparing to go public on the Nasdaq through a blank-check company in a deal that values the firm at roughly $573 million. US Elemental Inc., a newly formed company backed by Australia’s Jindalee Lithium Ltd. , said Thursday it plans to list via a merger with Constellation Acquisition Corp I in the second half of this year. The company is seeking to raise capital for a lithium project in Oregon. The planned transaction follows an increase in lithium prices, as the industry navigates mine disruptions and Zimbabwe’s export ban of the battery metal. The price of lithium carbonate, a refined form used in car batteries, surged last year in China on strong demand expectations for energy storage systems. The deal also comes amid growing appetite for critical minerals investment in the US, as Washington intensifies efforts to onshore supply chains for metals used in electronics, cars and defense technology. The push to reduce reliance on China and other foreign producers has renewed interest in early-stage mining projects, with investors betting that domestic ventures will benefit from the Trump administration’s efforts to speed permitting timelines and provide funding. Read More: Lithium Prices Move Higher (Again) in March as Caution Grows ( Bloomberg Intelligence ) US Elemental’s McDermitt Lithium Project in Oregon, near the Nevada border, holds an estimated 21.5 million metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent, making it one of the largest deposits in the country, according to the company. Located about 22 miles (35 kilometers) from Lithium Americas Corp. ’s Thacker Pass mine, it’s among a handful of deposits that companies are pushing to build in the area. The project also is on the federal government’s FAST-41 initiative, which aims to speed permitting for key resource developments nationwide. According to the government’s permitting dashboard, US Elemental may receive approval to build as early as June. The planned listing would value US E...
