SHANGHAI, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei Cloud Stack Summit, themed “Agentic Hybrid Cloud: Powering a New Era of Intelligence,” brought together leading enterprises from around the world to explore emerging trends in digital infrastructure and AI and share insights from real-world deployments, highlighting how AI can unlock new levels of productivity across industries.

A deterministic hybrid cloud architecture offers enterprises a clear path forward in the agentic AI era

Antonony Gu, President of Huawei Hybrid Cloud, delivered a keynote speech at the summit, highlighting three fundamental changes in the agentic AI era:

• The actors driving business execution are changing: from humans using applications to human-agent collaboration and agent-to-agent (A2A) collaboration. AI agents are emerging at scale as a new class of digital employees.
• Resource provisioning is changing: AI agents are task-oriented, relying on compute, data, and models that are packaged and readily available for invocation. Resource delivery is shifting from layer-by-layer assembly to integrated capabilities organized around agent-driven tasks.
• What’s being managed is changing: The focus is shifting from traditional IT resources, such as compute, storage, and networking, to AI compute, data, and models. Managing these resources through separate systems can create new IT silos.

Addressing these changes, Huawei Cloud has introduced an AI agent-ready hybrid cloud architecture^Next, comprising four key capabilities: an agile, elastic cloud infrastructure designed for continuous evolution and unified general-purpose and AI compute; an AI-native capability hub that connects data, compute, and tokens; an agent-native enablement platform for developing and running AI agents at scale; and intelligent operations and end-to-end security capabilities covering the entire AI agent lifecycle. Antonony Gu emphasized, “As AI agent adoption continues to accelerate over the next three to five years, a deterministic hybrid cloud architecture is a clear path forward for enterprises in the agentic world.”

SHANGHAI, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, David Wang, Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman at Huawei, officially introduced OceanStor M900 Context Memory Storage during his keynote. Designed for AI inference in hyperscale data centers, the product provides SuperPoDs with a fully shared memory space that offers PB-scale capacity and TB/s-level performance. This marks a shift in AI infrastructure from a compute-centric model to deep collaboration among compute, network, and storage. This will help unleash the computing power of SuperPoDs.

2026 has seen the accelerated transition of AI from technological breakthroughs to large-scale implementation. AI applications have evolved from chatbots to agents capable of autonomously completing complex tasks. These agents are widely adopted in critical sectors, marking the beginning of the agentic AI era.

As large models grow to 10 trillion-scale parameters, SuperPoDs are becoming the optimal choice for AI infrastructure. Mainstream large models already support context windows exceeding one million tokens, multi-turn inference and complex tasks have become the norm, and KV cache data generated during inference continues to grow. These trends have pushed on-chip memory and DRAM beyond their limits in capacity and cost-effectiveness. It has become an industry consensus to build a multi-tier storage system that coordinates on-chip memory, DRAM, and SSDs to create a fully shared memory space with massive capacity.

Huawei introduced OceanStor M900 Context Memory Storage to overcome the memory capacity bottlenecks in ultra-long context and multi-turn inference. OceanStor M900 uses the UnifiedBus network to build PB-scale, global multi-tier KV cache with one-hop connections. This fully unleashes the computing power potential of SuperPoDs and accelerates AI inference in hyperscale data centers. OceanStor M900 Context Memory Storage has three key capabilities:

Breaking Capacity Boundaries to Empower Large-Scale AI with Massive Memory

Powered by the high-speed UnifiedBus interconnect network, the KV cache achieves global pooling and sharing with tiered storage. The KV cache of SuperPoDs is expanded from on-chip memory and DRAM to SSDs, enabling a single cluster to deliver 64 PB of capacity. The available KV cache capacity per NPU is upgraded from gigabytes to terabytes, allowing more context to be stored, shared, and reused. This significantly boosts the KV cache hit ratio.

Boosting Inference Performance to Fully Unleash Computing Power

OceanStor M900 is the industry’s first architecture to integrate the CPU, network controller unit, and NAND controller unit. It provides native KV semantics to enable one-hop connection from the SuperPoD’s NPU to SSDs. This eliminates the need for protocol conversion and CPU forwarding, slashing access latency from milliseconds to 60 microseconds, a 90% reduction. A single cluster delivers 40 TB/s of aggregate access bandwidth, 1.5 times higher than peer solutions. In typical AI programming scenarios, this architecture doubles the inference cluster’s token throughput and halves the time to first token, converting computing power into productivity.

Lowering Token Costs to Enable  Economical Large-Scale AI Adoption

OceanStor M900 uses the industry’s first KV-aware adaptive storage technology, which predicts KV cache lifecycles based on data value and intelligently distributes data across storage media. This technology enables up to 24 drive writes per day (DWPD), extending SSD endurance by 16 times and ensuring stability for three years. By reducing media replacement and O&M costs, it lowers the long-term costs of large-scale AI inference infrastructure and enables faster AI adoption.

As AI expands into major production systems in all manner of industries, AI infrastructure is evolving from a compute-centric model toward tighter compute-network-storage collaboration. Context memory storage will be essential for continually enhancing the capacity and access efficiency of hyperscale inference KV caches.

Claim independently assessed to be very substantial

LONDON, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ATOME, the leading low-carbon fertiliser developer and the UK’s only dedicated international industrial scale low-carbon fertiliser company, provides an update further to previous announcements regarding the Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) for the Villeta Project in Paraguay (“Villeta” or “Project”).

ATOME remains in discussions relating to ATOME’s shovel ready Villeta Project, the largest single foreign industrial investment in the history of Paraguay totaling US$665 million. Notwithstanding this, ATOME as a public company, having received positive legal advice, is mindful of its responsibilities to its shareholders and its obligations to protect its legitimate rights.

Against this background on 17 September 2026, ATOME PLC, through White & Case LLP, will today serve a Notice of Dispute and Intent to Submit a Claim to Arbitration on the Republic of Paraguay (“the Notice”) pursuant to the Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of Paraguay for the Promotion and Protection of Investments (“the BIT”). 

The Notice states that an investment dispute exists as a result of Paraguay’s alleged acts and omissions in violation of the BIT, including its revocation of the Presidential Decrees issued by the Paraguayan State that supported the Project and provided certainty on term and price under the PPA.

The Notice urges the Paraguayan State to engage in discussions to amicably resolve the matter. 

The UK Government has been informed of the submission of the Notice as has the Embassies of the EU, France, Germany and the United States in Paraguay as well as the Paraguayan Embassy in London. In accordance with the BIT, the Notice states if the dispute has not been resolved within a period of three months i.e. a viable resolution not achieved ATOME will pursue its claim under the BIT against Paraguay at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes in Washington D.C.

If allowed to be completed, the Project would make Paraguay a world leader in the production of green fertiliser and the fertiliser industry in South America, strengthening local and international food security, creating some 4,000 jobs during construction and over 1,000 jobs during operations, and making material contributions to the country’s GDP and economy.

ATOME will continue to make constructive efforts to amicably resolve the relevant issues but will pursue its rights under international law if it deems necessary.

ATOME will continue to keep the market informed at all material times and in the meantime all other projects of ATOME continue unaffected. 

For more information, please visit https://www.atomeplc.com

About ATOME 

ATOME PLC is an AIM-listed company leading the international development of green fertiliser with a pipeline of projects across Latin America.

ATOME’s projects are situated at the heart of one of the world’s largest food export hubs – the Mercosur region in the Southern Cone of South America with the Argentinian and Brazilian markets next door. ATOME’s production will disrupt the region’s heavy dependence on imported fossil fuel generated fertiliser, contributing to regional food security goals.

In May 2026, ATOME declared unconditional Final Investment Decision on its flagship Villeta Project, Paraguay following the completion of US$665 million project finance backed by leading international development finance institutions and private infrastructure investors including IDB Invest, the Inter-American Development Bank’s (“IDB”) private sector lending arm; the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”), the World Bank Group’s private sector lending arm; the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank (“FMO”); the European Investment Bank (“EIB”), the lending arm of the European Union; the Green Climate Fund, which is administered by the World Bank; the German Investment Corporation (“DEG”), a subsidiary of KfW, Germany’s State-owned investment and development bank; Impact Fund Denmark, an investment arm of the Danish Government; and Hy24, the world’s first and largest hydrogen private equity asset manager.

The Villeta Project benefits from a minimum 10-year Definitive Offtake Agreement signed with Yara International, the leading international fertiliser company, for offtake of all of Villeta’s green fertiliser production, as well as a US$465 million fixed-price EPC contract with leading ammonia and fertiliser engineering specialist Casale S.A.

Roughly a third of human caused GHG emissions is linked to food production according to UN data, and fertiliser use and production is the source of more emissions than the shipping and aviation industries combined. ATOME’s green Calcium Ammonium Nitrate product will contribute to decarbonising the food sector from the bottom up, getting to the root of the food value chain’s emissions. ATOME’s renewably generated fertiliser is both low-carbon and provides a secure, stable alternative product not reliant on fossil fuels, unlike all nitrogen fertiliser production today.

The Company has a green-focused Board which is supported by major shareholders including Peter Levine, Schroders, a leading fund manager, Baker Hughes, a global energy technology company operating in the energy and industry sectors and Casale S.A, the Swiss-based ammonia and fertiliser specialist engineering firm and technology licensor.

New guideline for patients and caregivers explains the importance of assessments to tailor cancer care to every person, regardless of age.

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network^® (NCCN^®)—an alliance of leading cancer centers—is publishing a new resource to help patients and caregivers understand how to tailor cancer care for aging populations.

“The medical advances we’ve seen in cardiology and infectious disease are a huge triumph; because we are better at treating infections and heart disease, people are living longer, which means they are facing cancer in later years. We are seeing more and more people being treated for cancer at an advanced age,” explained Efrat Dotan, MD, Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, Chair, NCCN Guidelines Panel for Older Adult Oncology. “We need to carefully assess any patient over 65, because there can be a huge range in areas such as memory function, physical ability, or treatment interactions with other medications and conditions. This resource explains what support is needed and suggests how to talk to your doctor about it.”

The new NCCN Guidelines for Patients^® for Older Adults With Cancer, are developed from the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines^®) for the same topic, which are the trusted treatment recommendations relied on by professional healthcare providers around the world.

The NCCN Guidelines for Patients are available for free at NCCN.org/patientguidelines or via the NCCN Patient Guides for Cancer App. Printed copies are available for a nominal fee at Amazon. They are made possible thanks to funding from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Foundation (NCCNF). Visit NCCNFoundation.org to make a difference in how people experience cancer care.

“Receiving a cancer diagnosis is a hard blow, and it can be very isolating at any age, but especially for older adults who need support and validation they can’t get very easily. I hope these guidelines can be a helping hand that takes away some of those lonely feelings,” said Glenn Sykes, Patient Advocate, NCCN Guidelines^® Panel for Older Adult Oncology. “Even though I had my own cancer experience 8 years prior… caring for my mother—who was diagnosed with cancer at 95—presented me with many unique issues. For example: explaining treatment to someone with dementia. Having these guidelines would have been a tremendous support, and it’s my hope that they are helpful for anyone who finds themself in a similar situation.”

“The more informed a person can be, the better care they’re going receive, because they’re going to ask better questions,” said Louise C. Walter, MD, UCSF Chief of Geriatrics, Member of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Vice-Chair, NCCN Guidelines Panel for Older Adult Oncology. “We all age differently. People should really be talking with their doctor about what makes sense for them as an individual, with their specific health situations, and come up with the best plan that’s not based on chronologic age, but on what’s most important to them.”

Dr. Walter continued: “These patient guidelines help explain how to determine the right treatment for the right person based on their unique situation and preferences.”

Both the clinical and patient version of the guidelines include easy-to-understand information about which assessment tools are available and how they should be used to help make decisions. They flag ways to support people with cognition issues, or at higher risk for falls. They are geared toward anyone diagnosed with cancer over the age of 65 but could be relevant for younger patients with additional medical concerns. While the likelihood of side effects and comorbidities increase with age, the guidelines stress there is a wide range of mental and physical fitness that people can experience well into their 80s, 90s, and beyond.

The NCCN Guidelines for Patients are updated every year in both English and Spanish. The award-winning series includes more than 75 resources covering nearly every type of cancer, plus prevention, screening, and supportive care topics like survivorship, fatigue, and distress management. They use plain language and images so everybody can play an informed, active role in making treatment decisions.

BEIJING, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The latest CKGSB Investor Sentiment Survey points to cautious investor sentiment in China’s A-share market in Q3 2026, even as earnings at listed companies have begun to recover. During the May to September 2026 survey period, respondents lowered their expectations for A-share market gains, reduced expected returns and showed less willingness to invest.

58.6% expected A-share prices to rise, down 5.2 percentage points from April 2026. The expected rate of return fell 1.8 percentage points to negative 0.7%. The pullback was sharpest for direct stock investment: the net proportion seeking to increase stock holdings fell 7.3 percentage points to 10.7%; the corresponding figure for equity funds declined 1.2 percentage points to 13.4%.

Trading activity in China’s A-share market continued to rise. From December 2024 to August 2026, turnover ratios rose from 2.39 to 4.2 for the Shanghai Composite Index and from 5.84 to 8.5 for the Shenzhen Composite Index. Price-to-book ratios, however, rose only modestly—from 1.13 to 1.25 in Shanghai and from 1.93 to 2.4 in Shenzhen. Liu Jing, CKGSB Professor of Accounting and Finance and leader of the survey, interprets this mix as evidence of sharp divergence among investors rather than broad-based optimism, with investors divided over whether current prices represent value or risk.

That restraint contrasts with a recovery in corporate profits. Year-on-year trailing twelve-month net profit growth among A-share listed companies reached 5.9% in June 2026, after remaining negative from June 2022 through March 2026. Private enterprises recorded 36.7% net profit growth in Q2 2026, while strategic emerging industries reached 36%.

Confidence remains fragile beyond equities. The survey indicates softer household consumption and a prolonged property adjustment. It also reflects a structural imbalance: although China needs private enterprises and consumers to generate demand, financial capital continues to flow disproportionately to the government and state-owned enterprises. Directing even more capital toward the public sector is unlikely to address China’s insufficient demand and consumption, as government bodies and SOEs primarily support the investment side of the economy.

The CKGSB Investor Sentiment Survey is an academically grounded, high-frequency, large-sample barometer of sentiment in China’s capital markets. Combining behavioral insights with fundamental data, it tracks sentiment alongside macroeconomic and equity-market conditions, offering global investors context for assessing changes in China’s markets.
