Most frontier AI models still come with a requirement: someone else’s datacenter. Developers can build with them through an API. The model itself the infrastructure behind it and often the data path remain outside their control. Meta is testing a direction with Muse Spark Open, an open-weight agentic model large enough to compete with leading […]
Introducing Specs: Technical context for your designs. When you use AI to create something, it’s surprisingly easy to turn an idea into a screen. What’s not easy is teaching the machine everything your team already knows. A designer might know the checkout button should be removed once payment is complete, a product manager might know […]
A phone belongs to one person. A television belongs to the room. Apple HomeView is trying to sit somewhere between the two. Apple’s new 7-inch smart display is designed to be shared by an entire household, but it does not treat everyone in that household the same. HomeView can recognize up to six people by […]
Building an app is becoming easier. Getting people to care about it is not. That is the problem London-based Affinity Labs is building around. The startup has raised $2 million in pre-seed funding, led by Fuel Ventures alongside Antler, with the financing package also including a £497,787 Innovate UK grant. Angel participants include investors and […]
Character AI, an AI startup that enables people to converse with fictional AI companions, has submitted documents for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Character AI says it intends to conduct a sale of all, or substantially all, of its assets under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy system, […]
SpaceX’s CRS-35 may look like another routine cargo run to the International Space Station, but the mission connects three different phases of orbital operations at once: reusable transportation, continued ISS modernization and research designed for missions beyond low Earth orbit. SpaceX’s mission plan pairs a Dragon spacecraft flying for the fourth time with a Falcon […]
Most AI video tools consider the job finished when a video is exported. Clueso is building around what happens afterward: the product changes, the screenshots become outdated, the training library falls behind and someone has to make the video again. The Bengaluru-founded company has raised $10 million in Series A funding, led by Dharana Capital. […]
Microsoft-Decision-1 is not designed to write, summarize or reason in paragraphs. Its job is narrower: make fast, structured decisions inside AI systems, then return probabilities that software can act on. That distinction matters because modern AI applications increasingly contain many more decisions than generative steps. An agent might use a powerful reasoning model to understand […]
AI can now generate software faster than many engineering teams can verify it. Klarent is building for the bottleneck that appears after the code is written: proving that it actually works. The Zurich-based startup has raised $8 million in Seed funding, led by Mosaic Ventures, with participation from Moonfire Ventures and angel investors including former […]
Traditional qualitative research has a scaling problem: companies want the “why” behind customer behavior, but interviewing enough people can take weeks and require large agency budgets. Barcelona-based Autentic AI has raised €1.5 million in pre-seed funding from Baobab Ventures, Lanai Ventures, Acurio Ventures and Masia VC to attack that bottleneck with AI. The company plans […]
AI used to be wrong inside a chat box. Now it can be wrong while buying something, sending a message, booking your day or acting inside an account. That changes the cost of a mistake. Recent examples documented by The Wall Street Journal show just how quickly convenience can turn into exposure. Personal AI agents […]
Knowing that a growing region is getting hotter is not yet a procurement decision. A food manufacturer needs to know whether that heat threatens the specific crop variety it buys, which supplier and contract are exposed, whether quality specifications are likely to become harder to meet and whether there is still time to sample differently, […]
The file looked routine: a PDF handed to an onboarding agent at a global enterprise. Buried in it was a prompt injection telling the agent to step outside its job. Rein Security says its software caught the out-of-role action and stopped it before any damage was done. That is the case behind Rein’s $25 million […]

Ltd. has completed the Nose Cone and Kick Stage of its Infinity One reusable launch vehicle, marking a significant engineering milestone in the development of its indigenous launch system for small and nano satellites. Achieved in September 2026, the milestone marks the progression of Infinity One from design and […]
