Google has introduced support for local models in the Antigravity SDK, enabling developers to build and execute agentic workflows directly on their own machines, while retaining the flexibility to mix in cloud-based models for higher-level tasks. This approach gives developers greater control over data privacy, inference costs, network dependencies, and computational workload distribution. One of the most compelling capabilities of the Antigravity SDK is hybrid agent orchestration, which adapts Google's proposed Architect-Builder pattern to a mixed cloud-local compute environment.

Latest round of cuts proposes the loss of 52 roles in Finland and 70 in Singapore Ubisoft has proposed the closure of Finnish studio RedLynx, creator of the Trial franchise, and major job losses at Ubisoft Singapore, lead developer of the ill-fated Skull and Bones. The cuts are the latest in the firm's ongoing restructuring, as it seeks to dramatically reduce costs and reform into a new Creative Houses structure. Both studios had been placed into the Creative Network in that organization, providing central support to other teams.

A Fredericton technology firm is giving artists a platform with a new project. Data analysis company Lumeia recently launched Independent Artist, an initiative that will provide 20 selected artists in Canada and abroad with free professional digital portfolios.

Our security assessment of LiteLLM (v1.77.7), a widely used open-source LLM gateway, uncovered multiple high-impact vulnerabilities (tracked as CVE-2026-35029, CVE-2026-59823) which have been resolved as of LiteLLM version 1.83.9. The most significant issues stemmed from a missing authorization check on the /config/update endpoint, which allowed any authenticated user (including low-privileged accounts) to modify the proxy’s runtime configuration. This single flaw enabled arbitrary file read, administrative account takeover, and remote code execution via malicious Python modules loaded from cloud storage. A separate SSRF vulnerability in the “Clientside LLM Credentials” feature allowed attackers to redirect API calls and exfiltrate provider keys. These findings highlight that as AI infrastructure tools rapidly evolve, foundational security practices like proper access control and input validation remain essential.

Leadership in digital health involves using technology, data, and artificial intelligence to build hospitals that are more efficient, safer, and focused on patients and healthcare professionals. What is digital health leadership, and why is it key for the hospitals of the future? Digital health leadership is the ability to drive the technological transformation of hospitals and healthcare organizations to improve care, operational efficiency, and the patient experience through the use of data, artificial intelligence, and new digital infrastructure. Because the hospital is no longer just a healthcare facility—it has become a critical digital infrastructure. Pressure on the healthcare system, an aging population, chronic conditions, and the need to make the system more sustainable require the design of hospitals where connectivity, data, security, spaces, and clinical processes are integrated from the outset. Technology enables the hospital to function as a smart ecosystem: it collects data, manages it, shares it securely, and uses it to improve care, optimize resources, and anticipate needs. How does digital leadership help improve the quality of care?

As Québec and Canada seek to produce more of their own food, strengthen food security, and accelerate the shift to more sustainable agriculture, Gourma is investing more than $25 million to add one hectare of next-generation greenhouses to its Saint-Norbert complex. The project will integrate advanced technologies to automate production, improve energy efficiency, and manage resources responsibly. Construction got underway in summer 2026, and the new facilities are set to begin operating in early 2027. More than an expansion, the project marks a significant shift in Gourma's production model and demonstrates what high-performance technologies can bring to agriculture in Québec. "We're not just building new greenhouses. We're building what we believe will be the model for greenhouse production in the decades ahead," said Charles Verdy, President of Gourma. "Our ambition is to show we can grow more here in Québec with less energy and water, fewer inputs and a smaller environmental footprint. " © Agro Quebec Leading-edge automationAt the heart of the project is a fully automated germination chamber for multiple varieties.

Healthcare has long been driven by scientific breakthroughs, but a growing number of advances are now emerging from the intersection of medicine and technology. Artificial intelligence is helping researchers identify potential drug targets, genetic data is enabling more personalised treatments, and digital tools are changing how healthcare professionals diagnose and treat disease. At the same time, technologies originally developed for consumer applications are beginning to find their way into hospitals and operating rooms. What makes this moment significant is that many of these innovations are now moving beyond the experimental stage. Rather than remaining confined to laboratories or pilot projects, they are increasingly appearing in clinical trials, regulated medical products and real-world healthcare workflows. The result is not the replacement of doctors or scientists, but the augmentation of their capabilities through data, software and advanced computing. For investors, this creates opportunities across a much broader range of companies than traditional healthcare investing has historically offered.

The Arab world is having fewer babies. Far fewer. A region known for large families, youthful populations and some of the highest birth rates in the world is undergoing a demographic transformation. Families are shrinking. Parenthood is being delayed. And a region that once seemed far removed from the fertility crisis gripping Japan and South Korea is beginning to confront similar questions about its own future. The numbers tell the story. A study tracking fertility rates across Arab countries between 2011 and 2021 found sharp declines in every country examined, with Jordan recording one of the steepest drops at 24.3%. In the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain, fertility rates during the period fell below 2.1 children per woman, below the UN’s replacement level needed to sustain a population without immigration. Even in Saudi Arabia, whose youthful population has long been heralded as an economic advantage – where 69% of the population is under 35 – has seen a decline in annual births of more than 10% between 2017 and 2022, according to Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT).
