As AI coding tools accelerate software development, investors face a new problem during technology acquisitions: understanding exactly what they are buying is becoming harder. Plan A Technologies has acquired a stealth AI assessment tool to strengthen its technical M&A due diligence practice, using automated analysis to examine large, fragmented technology environments and surface risks that…
AI coding agents are making software development dramatically faster, but infrastructure teams still have to review changes through tickets, approvals and manual workflows. empirik.ai is betting that this mismatch is becoming a reliability problem. The company has emerged from stealth with $21 million in funding and an AI agent designed to understand infrastructure-change intent, calculate…
AI systems are only as useful as the data they can actually access. Sayari is tackling that problem in a high-stakes setting by rebuilding its Commercial World Model on Snowflake, bringing more than a decade of corporate, trade and regulatory records into an AI-ready data foundation. The move is designed to help organizations uncover ownership…
Generative AI is beginning to reshape not only how medicines are discovered, but also how investors classify the companies building that technology. Insilico Medicine will join the HKEX Tech 100 Index in September, placing the AI-driven drug discovery company alongside Hong Kong-listed businesses representing artificial intelligence, biotechnology, robotics and other technology themes. The boundary between…
The AI infrastructure buildout is creating a new bottleneck beyond GPUs: moving data between increasingly dense computing systems. Sivers Semiconductors is responding with a $30 million investment to expand its indium phosphide (InP) manufacturing facility in Glasgow, Scotland, targeting more than 100 million continuous-wave distributed-feedback (CW DFB) lasers in annual production capacity once the expansion…
Corporate learning platforms are facing a fundamental shift as artificial intelligence changes both the skills employees need and how organizations deliver training. ODILO, an education technology company focused on digital access to knowledge, is responding by rebranding as Letmino and repositioning its product portfolio around continuous workplace learning, personalized development and curated knowledge. The corporate…
The recent cyber security breaches involving Hugging Face, Anthropic and Meta have reignited concerns about the risks posed by increasingly autonomous AI systems. What began as isolated reports of AI models acting beyond expectations quickly became a broader industry conversation about governance, accountability and control. OpenAI revealed that one of its systems compromised external infrastructure…
AI systems are getting increasingly capable at generating research ideas, writing experimental code and interpreting results. The harder problem is deciding whether those ideas actually work. EvoMap is tackling that gap with AutoResearch, an open-source research infrastructure project that allows AI agents to move from hypothesis to executable experiment, evaluate the evidence and use the…
The AI infrastructure bottleneck is shifting from access to GPUs to the ability to operate them efficiently. Aranya, an infrastructure startup building an AI-native operating layer for distributed GPU clusters, has raised $11 million to automate the deployment and management of AI compute. The company says its technology is already managing more than $500 million…
