- US bars Microsoft, Adobe and other IT giants from tech talent green card program
On October 8 the Trump administration suspended Microsoft, Adobe and several other major IT companies from a green card program that helps foreign tech workers obtain US permanent residency, accusing the firms of fraud. Labor Secretary Keith Sundling said the government will no longer accept new or pending permanent labor certification applications involving these companies; the affected group also includes Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata and Wipro. Vice President JD Vance said companies must prioritize hiring American workers and said nine universities, among them Harvard, Yale and Stanford, will also be investigated; Microsoft responded that the overwhelming majority of its employees are American, and that about 80% of the roughly 6,000 H-1B petitions it filed last fiscal year were extensions or status changes for existing staff.
AIbase AI新闻 · 🔥 10 - AI is rewriting video editing workflows — and who gets to call themselves a pro
A commentary published by TMTPost argues that AI is reshaping video editing along three lines: smarter understanding of footage, democratized fine-grained control, and automated delivery, shifting “professional editing power” toward a wider pool of creators. It cites an Adobe survey of more than 16,000 creators in which 57% said AI-generated output still needs moderate or heavy post-editing, 93% want faster production and 85% insist on keeping final creative control. The author also contends that free tiers are turning from stripped-down teasers into entry points, and that competition is moving from individual features to a full workbench spanning generation, fine editing and multi-platform delivery.
钛媒体 · 🔥 9 - Developer uses Claude Opus 5.5 to clone seven Adobe apps as open source
In a column for Huxiu, lawyer You Yunting describes how developer Brandon Thomas announced on Reddit that he used Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and the Rust language to build seven open-source applications matching the functions of Adobe's Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, InDesign and Acrobat Pro, released on GitHub. The article applies copyright ideas such as the idea-expression dichotomy and the "access plus substantial similarity" test, arguing Adobe would struggle to prove infringement because the interfaces and code differ and the developer says the work was clean-room. It also catalogues user grievances over Adobe's subscription-only licensing, annual lock-ins and its China channel sales and enforcement practices, which the author says explain the widespread cheers for the clones.
虎嗅 AI · 🔥 9 - Heathrow taps Adobe agentic AI to rebuild website and track LLM visibility
Heathrow Airport said on 8 October that it is extending its partnership with Adobe and will rebuild its main website on Adobe CX Enterprise, an AI customer-experience system that uses AI agents; the site draws more than 50 million visitors a year. The airport will also use Adobe Experience Manager for personalised content aimed at passengers, local communities and government stakeholders, plus Adobe Brand Visibility to track how its content surfaces on ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity. Neither company gave a launch date or disclosed the deal's value.
The Next Web · 🔥 6 - Google open-sources ML Drift, a cross-platform GPU inference engine for on-device AI
Google's AI Edge team released ML Drift under Apache 2.0, a cross-platform on-device GPU compute engine for AI/ML inference that abstracts OpenGL ES, OpenCL, Metal and WebGPU backends and serves as the GPU acceleration engine inside LiteRT, while also being usable standalone. The release adds 5D tensor support, an extensible custom-op framework with an agent-oriented SKILL.md guide, and stage-aware optimizations for on-device LLM prefill and decode; a WebGPU backend built on Dawn extends it to Windows and Linux as a desktop preview. Google says ML Drift already runs on millions of devices powering Chrome, YouTube Shorts, Photos and Meet, with YouTube Shorts seeing up to 40% lower average frame latency, and partners including Adobe and Snap reporting up to 30% faster on-device performance — all vendor-reported figures.
Google Developers Blog · 🔥 5 - Developer uses Claude to build open-source Adobe Creative Suite clones in Rust
Software developer Brandon Thomas, through his project Artcraft, has released a set of open-source creative apps that recreate the interfaces and tools of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, InDesign and Acrobat Pro, rewritten in Rust. He says he used Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 to build the "clean-room" replacements, with WebAssembly versions that run in a browser. The apps are free with no subscription and are described as agent-native, exposing tools and menus to AI over a JSON control channel and an MCP server. They remain a "super early alpha," with commenters doubting basic functionality and code safety, while Thomas claims he will reach 100 percent parity within a month.
Ars Technica AI · 🔥 26 - Kling AI Reportedly Prepares Hong Kong IPO, Testing Kuaishou’s Valuation
Kling AI has reportedly selected CICC, Goldman Sachs and UBS to prepare a Hong Kong IPO that could raise at least $1 billion, with a target as early as 2027; the timing and size may change. The analysis argues that a separate listing could give AI-video investors a direct investment option while forcing Kuaishou Technology to justify the value of its advertising, e-commerce and livestreaming businesses, as well as its capital allocation.
36氪 人工智能 · 🔥 6 - Kling AI picks CICC, Goldman Sachs, UBS for $1B-plus Hong Kong IPO
Kling AI, the AI video generation unit spun out of Kuaishou Technology, has selected China International Capital Corp., Goldman Sachs and UBS to work on a Hong Kong initial public offering that could raise at least $1 billion, Bloomberg reported via The Information, with a listing targeted as soon as next year. TMTPost said the target is as early as 2027, while AIbase said 2026; Kling has not publicly commented and timing and size remain subject to change. TMTPost reported Kling revenue of more than 850 million yuan in the second quarter of 2026, up over 200% year on year, while Kuaishou group revenue rose 1.4% to 35.535 billion yuan; after a July 2026 capital increase, Kuaishou entities retained roughly 68% of the restructured Kling entity and a majority of voting power.
