December 8, 2025, 6:00 AM EST. Several hedge fund billionaires boosted stakes in Meta Platforms and Alphabet as the Nasdaq Composite enters a new bull market. Investors like Stanley Druckenmiller, Israel Englander, Ken Griffin, and Philippe Laffont bought large positions, cementing these two AI-driven giants as favored bets for 2025-2026. The companies' strength rests on vast user networks, advertising reach, and ongoing AI investments, including custom chips and large language models that power content recommendations. Meta highlighted AI-driven gains in engagement and ad performance, even as capital expenditures rise in 2026. Wall Street still sees double-digit earnings growth ahead, supported by AI-powered efficiencies and expanding digital ad dominance.

December 8, 2025, 5:46 AM EST. New strings in Google Play Services v25.49.31 beta suggest that enabling Android Advanced Protection Mode will automatically disable the Watch Unlock feature on the Pixel Watch. The change prioritizes security over convenience, aiming to prevent accidental unlocks when the watch is nearby. If enabled, users may need to toggle off AAPM to unlock their phone with the watch again. The Watch Unlock feature lets the watch act as a key, but the trade-off is convenience. Google describes AAPM as a security hardening option for high-risk accounts. Note that the change is from code in an APK teardown and may not reach public releases; users can re-enable Watch Unlock by disabling AAPM.

December 8, 2025, 5:44 AM EST. Baidu shares rose after it said it is weighing a spin-off of its AI chip unit, Kunlunxin Technology, and pursuing an IPO subject to regulatory approval. HK-listed Baidu closed up 3.4%, and the stock has gained over 50% this year. Kunlunxin aims for a Hong Kong listing by 2027 after a roughly CNY 21 billion valuation from this year's funding. Baidu remains the largest holder with 59.5% equity; investors include BYD and CITIC Securities. The unit plans new chips next year and in 2027, including the Kunlunxin M100 for large-scale inference and the M300 for multimodal training, according to Baidu and Reuters.

December 8, 2025, 5:34 AM EST. Citadel founder Ken Griffin's hedge fund bought small bets in Rigetti Computing and D-Wave Quantum in Q3: 51,700 shares of Rigetti and 122,600 of D-Wave. Every Wall Street analyst covering both names sees upside, despite lofty valuations. Rigetti trades near $28 with a median target of $40 (~42% upside); high target $51 (~82%), low $35 (~25%). The company pursues superconducting qubits with vertical integration and the first multi-chip quantum processor, plus cloud-based services. D-Wave focuses on quantum annealing, touted as more immediately practical than gate-based systems, but the stock remains very expensive. The stocks have climbed about 3,750% (Rigetti) and 1,770% (D-Wave) since early 2023-2024, per analysts.
