Accounting firms are increasingly experimenting with AI, but the usefulness of those systems depends on how much business context they can access. Qount is addressing that challenge with a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) Connector, allowing accounting firms to connect practice-management data with AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP-compatible tools. Qount’s MCP... Read More

Restaurant operators have access to vast amounts of sales, labor, inventory and food-cost data, but getting useful answers from that information can still require custom reports and manual data preparation. Decision Logic is addressing that gap with Open Semantic Access, a new capability designed to let restaurant companies securely use their operating data with external... Read More

The next phase of AI infrastructure is shifting the focus from individual GPUs to entire AI factories—data centers engineered to turn electricity and accelerated computing into continuous AI output. Delta Electronics is developing an integrated power and cooling infrastructure stack for AI factories based on NVIDIA’s DSX platform, targeting a central challenge for operators: getting...

AI is moving deeper into pharmaceutical research, manufacturing and clinical operations, but deploying it in regulated environments requires more than access to foundation models. Switzerland-based consulting firm Tenthpin Management Consultants has opened an Innovation Hub in Bengaluru focused on AI, cloud computing and advanced-therapy technologies for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences organizations. The new center... Read More

The rise of AI agents is forcing enterprises to rethink what their cloud infrastructure needs to manage. Instead of supporting people interacting with applications, cloud platforms increasingly need to coordinate autonomous software that can invoke models, access data, use tools and execute tasks. At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei Cloud outlined an agentic hybrid cloud strategy... Read More

As AI workloads move from experimentation into production, networking is becoming a critical part of the AI infrastructure stack. At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei introduced an upgraded Stellar AI Network Solution, spanning data center, wide-area and campus networks, with a focus on moving AI workloads efficiently while adding security controls around increasingly autonomous systems. Huawei’s... Read More

The AI boom is creating a new infrastructure paradox: the same technology driving a surge in data center electricity demand is increasingly being used to help utilities manage the resulting strain. A new survey from National Grid Partners finds that utilities are deploying AI to handle rising interconnection demand, improve grid reliability and control operating... Read More

AI is moving beyond software development and office workflows into highly specialized engineering disciplines. Endra, an AI platform for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineering, has launched Endra Power Studio, an agentic platform designed to automate electrical engineering workflows, while acquiring Swiss AI lab Planlabs to accelerate its expansion into mechanical engineering. The construction industry... Read More
