In December, AMD unveiled the Redstone technology package, which builds on the AI-based FSR4 upscaling introduced with the Radeon RX 9000 series. Redstone added AI-based frame generation, Neural Radiance Caching, and Ray Regeneration. The upscaling component itself, however, was not updated to a new version. It seems that’s changing now with the FSR 4.1 update, which will apparently arrive in one of the upcoming driver releases. AMD has not yet officially announced this update, but it has quietly surfaced in public. A library file (amdxcffx64.dll) implementing FSR 4.1 has appeared, apparently originating from upcoming Radeon graphics drivers. The file is believed to come from a build that is currently undergoing closed beta testing as part of the “Vanguard” program. It reportedly comes from drivers with version number 26.3.1. You may recognize the file name if you use the Optiscaler software to “hack” upscaling into games that, for example, lack FSR support but support DLSS 2 or XeSS. This is precisely the library you replace when trying to enable FSR4 in a game that does not yet officially support it and where automatic upgrading from FSR 3.1 does not work either. Some users have already tested the leaked library in this way and confirmed that it appears to be genuine (at least it seems to be signed by AMD), there are example screenshot comparisons here and here. According to this limited testing, the new FSR 4.1 version appears to introduce changes in image quality, while performance should remain the same. Compared to the original FSR4, the new version reportedly appears to improve vegetation rendering in Hogwarts Legacy, which was one of the game the leaked file was tested in. Hopefully this will be confirmed and the update will indeed deliver better visual quality. Still RDNA 4 only However, the leaked FSR 4.1 file still requires support for FP8 value computations, which means it does not differ from the originally released FSR4 in this regard. Nothing therefor...

Oracle Corp. is planning to ax thousands of jobs, among its moves to handle a cash crunch from a massive AI data center expansion effort. The job reductions will affect divisions across the company and may be implemented as soon as this month, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named discussing the still-private plans. Some of the cuts will be aimed at job categories that the company expects it will need less of due to AI, two of the people said. Led by Chairman Larry Ellison , Oracle is embarking on a historic build-out of data centers to power AI workloads for customers such as OpenAI. The company, long known for its database software, has been making a transition the past few years to bulk up its cloud computing unit with a focus on AI, intending to become a viable competitor to market leaders Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp. Wall Street projects the expenditures by the cloud unit for data centers to push Oracle’s cash flow negative over the coming years before the spending begins to pay off in 2030, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Last month, Oracle said it would raise as much as $50 billion this year through a combination of debt and equity sales. The reductions being planned are expected to be wider-reaching than the company’s typical rolling job cuts, according to the people. This week, Oracle announced internally that it would be reviewing many of the open job listings in its cloud division, effectively slowing down or freezing the hiring process, according to people with knowledge of the move. Oracle declined to comment. The company had about 162,000 employees globally as of the end of May 2025. Planning for the workforce reductions is still active and could change, the people said. Oracle’s initial moves as an AI cloud provider drew favor from investors, who boosted the stock 61% in 2024 and 20% last year. However, as the costs increased, the market has soured on the company, with the shares falling 54% from their ...

James Gunn and Peter Safran injected a much-needed shot of levity into the DC Universe when they took over the franchise and launched their " Gods and Monsters " chapter. But they're getting a bit more serious with the latest installment: Lanterns , an eight-episode series that reimagines the Green Lantern mythology as a gritty prestige crime drama/spy thriller in the vein of True Detective and Slow Horses . The logline says the show will focus on two versions of the Green Lantern who find themselves "drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American Heartland" (i.e., Nebraska). Will it work? We'll see. This series was barely on my radar before, but the extended teaser that dropped last night is tonally unique for the DCU and so well done that the show now has a place on my must-watch TV list for 2026. Kyle Chandler plays Hal Jordan, a former test pilot who is nearing his retirement from the Green Lantern Corps. He's training a new recruit, John Stewart Jr. (Aaron Pierre), to replace him. Nathan Fillion reprises his Superman role as the obnoxious Guy Gardner. The cast also includes Kelly McDonald as Kerry, a small-town family-oriented sheriff; Jason Ritter as Billy Macon, Kerry's husband; Garret Dillahunt as William Macon, Kerry's cowboy father-in-law; Poorna Jagannathan as a woman named Zoe; Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro, a former Corps member who's gone rogue; and Paul Ben-Victor as an extraterrestrial called Antaan.

Stocks Tumble On Report US Plans Licenses For Global Chip Exports In addition to real war with Iran, Trump appears set to restart the simmering trade war with China. According to Bloomberg, US officials have written draft regulations that would restrict AI chip shipments to anywhere in the world without American approval, giving Washington broad control over whether other countries can build facilities for training and running artificial-intelligence models, and under what conditions. In other words, while Nvidia has long been the world’s AI kingmaker, now the Trump administration is considering taking a formal role in the industry that would include similarly sweeping powers. If the rule passes, companies would need to seek US permission for virtually all exports of AI accelerators from the likes of Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, which represents a global expansion of curbs that currently cover around 40 countries . According to the report, the specific approval process would depend on how much computing power a company wants. Shipments of up to 1,000 of Nvidia’s latest GB300 graphics processing units, or GPUs, would undergo a fairly simple review with certain exemption opportunities. Companies building bigger clusters would need pre-clearance before seeking export licenses. They could face conditions such as disclosing their business models or allowing the US government site visits, depending on the specifics of the data centers in question. For truly massive deployments - more than 200,000 of Nvidia’s GB300 GPUs owned by one company, in one country - the host government would have to get involved. For context, 200,000 GB300s is the number that NScale, a UK company that specializes in renting AI chips to third parties, is planning to provide to Microsoft Corp. across four sites in the US and Europe. The firm described this deal as “one of the largest AI infrastructure contracts ever signed.” The US would only approve such exports to allies that make stringent ...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images Reasons To Continue Buying SCHD Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF ( SCHD ) thrives in the current environment of mounting geopolitical uncertainty and increasing "AI bubble" fears. The ETF has delivered a total return of almost 16% since my previous bullish article in December, which was called "SCHD: What if AI Capex Returns Disappoint?." The Q4 earnings season revealed that investors are indeed becoming increasingly concerned about the ability of tech giants to maintain their historically strong returns after massive increases in capital spending. Most of the Magnificent 7 companies delivered impressive Q4 financial results, but none of them demonstrate strong share price performance in 2026 so far, with only Meta ( META ) delivering a modest positive YTD stock performance. The fact that big tech companies demonstrate weak share price momentum despite impressive earnings signals deteriorating sentiment around growth stocks. Seeking Alpha SCHD offers solid exposure to defensive sectors, which traditionally thrive when growth investors start getting nervous and reallocate their portfolios to increase defensive exposure. The weight of the technology sector in SCHD's portfolio is below 10%, which makes it a good play to protect portfolios against volatility in growth. Seeking Alpha - SCHD holdings breakdown Another big advantage of SCHD is its heavy Energy exposure. Escalating Gulf instability pushes oil prices up, which is a huge tailwind for upstream companies like Chevron ( CVX ) and ConocoPhillips ( COP ). Brent crude price increased by ( CO1:COM ) increased by 38% YTD because energy facilities of various oil-rich Middle East countries are under threat due to the increasing instability in the region even though they are not directly involved in this military operation. And it is not only about upstream operations of Middle East countries but about one of the world's major oil export routes - the Strait of Hormuz, via which ...

akinbostanci Artificial intelligence can “eliminate a huge percentage of knowledge work,” according to Howard Marks, co-chairman and co-founder of Oaktree Capital, who pointed to recent mass layoffs as evidence of the technology’s disruptive power. In an interview with CNBC, Marks referenced Block’s ( XYZ ) decision to let go of 4,000 employees—40% of a 10,000-person workforce—because “AI can do it better and cheaper and faster.” Marks shared that his perspective on AI shifted dramatically after a personal experience with the AI model Claude. His son and younger colleagues suggested he consult the technology for a tutorial, and what he received left him “blown away.” He now recommends that everyone “get personal with Claude” to understand its capabilities firsthand. The billionaire investor expressed concern about the pace of AI advancement relative to society’s ability to adapt. “One day, 4,000 people lose their jobs. It’ll probably take them on average six to 12 months to get a new job if they hopefully, they can,” Marks said. He warned that “AI moves faster than the ability of society to adjust to it. And that is a formula for disruption.” Despite the threat to most workers, Marks suggested that elite talent may retain an advantage. “I like to believe there are some things that the best of humans will be able to do better,” he said. “Not all humans, but hopefully the best.” He noted that AI’s capabilities are expanding daily, even to the point where OpenAI ( OPENAI ) has acknowledged that new models are now helping to build their successors. Marks cautioned against overconfidence in predicting AI’s ultimate impact, describing the current moment as “the first inning of a very long unpredictable game.” He emphasized the profound uncertainty ahead, stating, “If you think you know what’s going to happen, you don’t understand what’s going on. We don’t know what the rules are or have any idea how many innings there are in the game.” Artificial Intelligence/Robotics ETF...

Aukidphumairichat/iStock via Getty Images Investment Outlook SPS Commerce ( SPSC ) recently reported its Q4 and annual 2025 financial results , with Q4 revenue missing but EPS beating consensus estimates. I previously analyzed SPSC in July 2024 with a Hold outlook due to revenue growth concerns. While revenue has been pressured by macroeconomic and tariff uncertainties, the stock appears reasonably valued, especially in light of what is likely to be a stronger second half of 2026. My outlook on SPSC is upgraded to a Buy at its current level of around $62 per share. SPS Commerce’s Market And Approach SPSC provides a cloud software platform primarily for retailers and their related supply chains. The firm seeks new clients and ecosystem partners through its direct, in-house efforts and through partner programs with retailers, distributors, grocers, and logistics companies. Approximately 90% of the company's revenue comes from recurring subscriptions, while the remaining comes from professional services and onboarding fees. Per a 2025 market research report by Grand View Research, the global supply chain management market was an estimated $25.7 billion in 2024 and is expected to exceed $48.5 billion by 2030, although the company's TAM is a subset of these total market figures. If accomplished, this growth would represent a CAGR of 11.4% from 2025 to 2030. The main drivers for the expected growth are a greater need for SCM solutions as global supply chains have experienced major pressures and change dynamics as a result of trade tensions, wars and the COVID-19 pandemic. The historical and forecasted trajectory of the worldwide supply chain management market growth from 2020 to 2030 is shown in the graphic below: Grand View Research Major industry players and competitors include: Epicor Software Oracle ( ORCL ) Manhattan Associates ( MANH ) E2open HighJump Infor IBM ( IBM ) JDA Software Group SAP ( SAP ) Kinaxis ( KXSCF ) Descartes Systems Group ( DSGX ) Others Recent Fi...

Energy Expert Warns UBS Just How Many Weeks A Hormuz Shutdown Would Send Markets "Out Of Control" It is only the sixth day of Operation Epic Fury , and roughly the fourth or fifth day that commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed ( except for one Chinese-linked bulk carrier ), whether by IRGC drone threats or by insurers suspending vessel coverage, and already energy economist Anas Alhajji warned on a webinar with top UBS analysts that " if this is going to last for four weeks, that's where things will be completely out of control ." Bhanu Baweja, Chief Strategist at UBS, asked Alhajji on the webinar: "How many days would the Strait of Hormuz need to remain shut for us to see a non-linear move in oil, with prices rising to $100 or $120 per barrel? Is there a timeline you can give us?" Alhajji responded, " Our main scenario is that if this lasts four weeks, things will be completely out of control . And when I say out of control, I mean that even if China starts releasing oil from its inventories, the problem is that my guess is China would also restrict exports, which means that oil would remain in China. We were counting on that oil being in the market, and now it is not going to be in the market." He continued, "The impact of the U.S. SPR is limited. Saudi Arabia is completely out of the picture. All of that spare capacity in OPEC is out of the picture. So what do we do? We are then left relying on demand destruction to curb prices. And because of the panic buying, prices would go above $100 easily in this scenario." Alhajji warned about panic hoarding in the oil market. He said he questioned back in January why the Trump administration was hoarding Venezuela's oil after the Maduro raid, instead of bringing it to market. Alhajji then emphasized, " I'm not talking about conspiracy theories . We were criticizing the Trump administration, companies, and trading houses that bought Venezuelan oil, and asking why they weren't able to sell it to...

Here are some of the stocks making the biggest moves in midday trading. Software stocks – The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) jumped more than 2% as investors snapped up shares of companies that were previously battered by artificial intelligence fears. Salesforce advanced 5%, while Microsoft and Oracle added 1% each. Expedia , Booking Holdings — The travel website operators were both higher. The Information reported that OpenAI is scaling back its plans for direct shopping within ChatGPT, allaying fears that booking sites were next in line for disruption. Expedia advanced nearly 11%, while Booking gained about 8%. United Airlines , Delta Air Lines — Shares of the air carriers tumbled 7% as oil prices resumed their ascent. Southwest Airlines shares were last down more than 6%. West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures surged more than 6%, topping $79 a barrel after Iran said it attacked a tanker. Jet fuel is a petroleum distillate. Victoria's Secret — The lingerie and clothing retailer slumped 15% after saying free cash flow in the year ending January 2027 would total $220 million to $250 million against analysts' consensus estimate of $301.9 million, according to FactSet data. Grocery Outlet Holding — The retailer plunged more than 23% after fourth quarter earnings per share and same-store sales, and full year revenue and EPS, all missed analyst estimates, according to FactSet. Grocery Outlet also said it would close 36 underperforming stores, and three Wall Street firms downgraded the stock in reaction. BJ's Wholesale Club — The warehouse giant shed nearly 4% after its full-year guidance fell short of expectations. BJ's Wholesale anticipates adjusted earnings between $4.40 per share and $4.60 per share, versus the $4.66 a share consensus estimate, per FactSet. Its fourth-quarter earnings and revenue, however, beat expectations. Trade Desk — Shares popped 19% following a report from The Information that said OpenAI had early talks with Trade Desk to...

No UK government ministers or officials will attend the Winter Paralympics opening and closing ceremonies after Russian and Belarusian athletes were invited to compete under their national flags. Six athletes from Russia and four from Belarus will be directly representing their countries - rather than competing as neutrals, as athletes did at last month's Winter Olympics. This will mark the first time a Russian flag has been flown at a Paralympic Games since Sochi 2014, with sanctions previously imposed firstly because of a state-sponsored doping programme, and then because of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Last year, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) lifted its partial ban on athletes from the two countries competing at the Games. A government spokesperson said: "We strongly oppose the decision of the International Paralympic Committee to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete under their own flags at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games. "We have been clear that the Russian and Belarusian states should not be represented in international sport while the barbaric full-scale invasion of Ukraine is ongoing. "Therefore, no government ministers or officials will attend the opening or closing ceremonies of the Paralympics."

The World Health Organization (WHO) said it was checking reports that four medics had been killed and 25 others injured. At least 1,230 people have been killed in Iran, more than 100 in Lebanon and 13 in Israel since the war began, according to official statements. Thousands more have been injured across the region. Six US troops have also been killed. The death toll includes dozens of schoolchildren killed in a strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, southern Iran on Saturday. The WHO warned that the conflict was jeopardising international humanitarian supply chains, and operations had been suspended at its global emergency logistics hub in Dubai.

The Spell Of Woke Is Broke: Let's Keep It That Way Authored by Thomas F. Powers via American Greatness , It is too early to know with any precision what the long-term effects of the Trump administration’s anti-DEI efforts will be. We might take our bearings on that score by considering the fate of essays written by prominent law professors in the 1950s and 1960s touting this or that discrete step in the unfolding of the civil rights revolution—the latest Supreme Court decision, and so on—as if each were an all-or-nothing earth-shattering decision. What we can now say with certainty is that what the Trump administration has done on the DEI front represents the beginning of a general reorientation of our politics away from wokeness . One need only survey what prominent leaders of the Left are saying about the political price the Democratic Party has paid on that score. What they are saying indicates a large political change, even if the Dems prove incapable of unmooring themselves from woke politics for the near future. The first sign of this reorientation is a general shift in the popular mindset : the spell of woke politics has broken. This matters because it was always the way in which woke politics commanded assent in the citizens’ hearts and minds that was crucial. That assent has been questioned or denied now in a broad way, with the backing of public authority ( Supreme Court decisions , executive orders , agency directives ), and with widespread public support. Wokeness’s public hectoring, punitiveness, and censoriousness, and the extremism of many of its positions on the issues, is unpopular at the level of 70–30 or 80–20 opinion poll divides . We ought to be confident, therefore, that the broken spell of wokeness augurs a permanent shift in our public life. What that means precisely, however, depends very much on how we understand wokeness and what is done going forward to ensure that woke excess does not return. Now, if, as many say, wokeness was the produc...

Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » 1.
