Most AI coding agents are optimized for a useful approximation: generate the code, run it, test it and fix what breaks. Lanyon AI is pursuing a much stricter standard. The newly emerged research lab has raised $10.6 million in initial funding led by Dimension, with participation from Industrious Ventures, to build AI systems for physics,…
AI can now propose thousands of potential materials in the time conventional research methods might take to evaluate a fraction of them. The harder problem is what comes next: making those materials, testing whether they behave as predicted, and turning promising candidates into manufacturable devices. ATLANT 3D is targeting that gap with NANOFABRICATOR PRO, a…
AI video generation is moving beyond short experimental clips and into the production workflows of large companies. Higgsfield, an AI video and image creation platform, says it has raised $400 million in Series B funding at a $5.4 billion valuation, more than quadrupling its valuation from its previous financing. The round comes as enterprises increasingly…
Hotel AI is moving from answering questions to taking action. Yanolja says its hospitality technology subsidiary, Yanolja Cloud Solution (YCS), is globally rolling out an AI concierge after previewing the system across more than 1,000 hotels in India. The platform uses eight specialized AI agents connected to hotel property-management data to handle tasks such as…
Artmarket.com is accelerating a strategic overhaul of Artprice, betting that its proprietary art-market data can become more valuable as an AI-native decision platform than as a traditional database. The French company says it is moving from incremental AI deployment toward an “AI-first” architecture built around its proprietary Intuitive Artmarket® and Blind Spot® systems. Artprice has…
Singapore is putting living neurons into the data center conversation. Digital infrastructure company DayOne has launched what it describes as Singapore’s first Biological Data Center Prototype with Cortical Labs and the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore, exploring whether biological computing could complement silicon infrastructure as AI workloads push…
Taiwan is taking its campaign to become an Asian asset management center into a second year, with Taiwan Weeks 2026 scheduled for Nov. 3–13. The government-backed program will bring asset managers, institutional investors, exchanges and financial firms together around a broader question: can Taiwan turn its technology-driven economic strength into a more influential regional capital…
As AI coding agents move from experimental copilots toward systems that can plan, execute and modify software, a new problem is emerging: who verifies what the agents produce? TestMu AI, formerly LambdaTest, is putting that question at the center of its fifth annual TestMu Conference, a virtual event scheduled for August 19–21, 2026, focused on…
Marketing technology has become powerful enough to create content, buy media, analyze campaigns and personalize customer journeys—but those capabilities are often scattered across dozens of tools. ImpactFactory.ai is betting that businesses will want a different model. The company has launched an AI-powered “digital marketing agency in a box” designed to combine strategy, content production, media…
