Keysight Technologies is using ECOC 2026 to showcase testing, simulation and validation technologies aimed at one of the biggest challenges in AI infrastructure: moving increasingly large volumes of data between accelerators, servers and storage. The demonstrations span photonic integrated circuits, AI networking, 1.6T optical links, 3.2T research and AI-enabled test automation. As AI clusters grow,…
Faraday Future has unveiled nine new embodied AI devices and four industry productivity solutions as it expands beyond electric vehicles into robotics. The company’s latest lineup spans humanoid and quadruped systems, with prices ranging from $9,990 to $137,900, alongside software, skills and industry-specific services. Faraday Future is attempting to turn its move into embodied AI…
Quectel Wireless Solutions has introduced the SE200ZC-AP, a compact smart module designed to bring on-device AI, computer vision and connectivity to cameras, industrial systems, vehicles and other IoT devices without requiring manufacturers to develop custom computing hardware. AI-enabled cameras and connected devices are increasingly moving inference closer to where data is generated, creating demand for…
Rockwell Automation is joining Anthropic’s Project Glasswing to test advanced AI for defensive cybersecurity across industrial automation and connected manufacturing systems. The collaboration gives Rockwell security teams controlled access to Claude Mythos 5, Anthropic’s restricted cybersecurity model, to investigate how AI can accelerate vulnerability discovery, validation, prioritization and remediation in critical industrial software. Rockwell Automation…
TypeSafe AI has emerged from stealth with $40 million in seed funding and a new model designed for a different role in the AI stack: making semantic decisions inside software rather than generating conversations for people. Led by former OpenAI researcher Diogo Almeida, the startup says its Jev model is built for low-latency, composable intelligence…
Nara Health has raised $14 million across pre-seed and seed rounds led by Khosla Ventures, betting that AI can do more than automate administrative tasks in employer-sponsored health insurance. The startup is combining benefits administration, claims processing, care coordination and member support into an AI-native third-party administration platform designed to change how employers manage healthcare…
Cornelis is expanding beyond scale-out networking with Active Compute Fabric, an open architecture that puts programmable compute directly into the network fabric connecting AI accelerators. The company also raised $205 million to fund the move, positioning its technology as an alternative to increasingly integrated AI infrastructure stacks dominated by NVIDIA and other major silicon and…
Flam has raised $40 million in Series B funding led by QED Investors as the AI startup bets that interactive content could become the next major format for digital experiences. The company is targeting enterprise applications spanning marketing, product visualization, training, entertainment and customer engagement, combining generative AI models with real-time video, 3D content and…
Private equity firms may be racing to adopt artificial intelligence, but limited partners are signaling that AI alone is not enough to make a fund manager stand out. A new Gen II survey finds LPs place greater value on technology infrastructure and measurable outcomes—including faster reporting, transparency, actionable insights and customizable reporting—than on AI adoption…
