Tech Rollercoaster: Adobe Stays, Nvidia Bails, Vercel Fixes AI.

Adobe Backtracks on Animate Discontinuation Plans

Adobe reversed its earlier decision to discontinue Adobe Animate, announcing the software will remain available but will enter maintenance mode. The company stated in an FAQ that it has no plans to discontinue or remove access to the app, according to The Verge on February 4, 2026.

The initial plan to discontinue Animate on March 1st, 2026, was met with frustration from creators. Under the new plan, Animate will continue to receive ongoing security and bug fixes for both new and existing users. However, the software will not receive any new features.

In other tech news, a potential $100 billion deal between Nvidia and OpenAI appears to have stalled. Nvidia's CEO indicated that the $100 billion figure, initially announced in September 2025, was never a firm commitment, according to Ars Technica. Reuters reported that OpenAI has been exploring alternatives to Nvidia chips since last year, citing dissatisfaction with the speed of some Nvidia chips for inference tasks. Inference is the process by which a trained AI model generates responses.

Meanwhile, Vercel has rebuilt its v0 service to address the challenge of connecting AI-generated code to existing production infrastructure. VentureBeat reported on February 3, 2026, that the original v0, launched in 2024, served as a tool for developers to create UI scaffolding. While over 4 million people used v0 to build prototypes, the platform lacked the elements needed to transition those prototypes into production.

The MIT Technology Review highlighted the increasing demand for metals like nickel, copper, and rare earth elements, driven by the growth of data centers, electric cars, and renewable energy projects. The article noted that miners are facing challenges in meeting this demand as the best resources have already been exploited. Biotechnology could offer a solution for extracting more metal from aging mines.

Finally, users with older browser versions may encounter access issues on some websites. Hacker News reported that many sites are implementing anti-crawler precautions to block high-volume crawlers, which often use old browser user agents to gather data for LLM training. These measures may inadvertently block legitimate users with outdated browsers.
