The pitch is seductive in its simplicity: AI needs more power than terrestrial grids can supply, so move the data centres into orbit, where the sun never sets and the electricity is free. SpaceX, Blue Origin, and a growing constellation of startups are now racing to make that vision real. The proble
The Paris techbio company screens microbial genomes to find molecules that evolution spent three billion years producing, and claims to have characterised more novel small molecules in 2025 than the rest of the field combined. Alven and Daphni co-led the Series A. Generare, the Paris-based techbio c
The Zurich platform, which connects 1,500+ ingredient suppliers and 6,000 brands including Givaudan, Symrise, PUIG, and La Prairie, is evolving from a discovery marketplace into a data backbone that plugs directly into suppliers’ PIM systems and brands’ R&D workflows. Hi inov led the round. Covalo,
In the competitive landscape of AI agents, where businesses are closing investment deals everyday to build and expand their AI infrastructure and software, the companies that seemed to be leading the race are OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Google, and Amazon. But despite the success of its la
Paris-based Omniscient ingests 100,000+ sources, press, social, web, video, audio, internal pipelines, and synthesises them into a two-minute executive briefing. Renault is an early client. A global syndicate spanning France, Japan, and the US backed the round. Omniscient, the Paris-based decision i
A deal would give Amazon’s Leo satellite programme access to Globalstar’s L-band spectrum and operational infrastructure, a shortcut in its race to rival SpaceX’s Starlink. Apple’s stake, which powers Emergency SOS on iPhones, has made negotiations significantly more complex. Amazon is in advanced t
In October 2025, Sam Altman posted a message on X that ended with a single, carefully placed promise. ChatGPT, he said, would soon allow verified adults to access erotica. He framed it as a matter of principle: treating adults like adults. The internet reacted with the usual mixture of outrage, exci
A growing sense of unease is shaping how professionals engage with artificial intelligence, particularly as its capabilities expand across information creation and execution. Dan Pratl, founder of Quadron, believes this anxiety reflects a deeper structural issue that extends beyond automation and in
Fortis Solutions, an enterprise technology partner with decades of experience across infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data systems, approaches artificial intelligence as a force that is redefining how work is performed while preserving the importance of human contribution. Its perspective reflects
A new quantum algorithm ran a 15-step nonlinear fluid simulation around a solid obstacle on real quantum hardware, the most physically complex publicly documented demonstration of its kind. The technique reduces qubit requirements and circuit depth, bringing industrial CFD applications closer to fea
Built from the same research as Gemini 3, the new family spans a 2B edge model that runs on a Raspberry Pi to a 31B dense model currently ranked third on the Arena AI open-model leaderboard. The Apache 2.0 licence is a significant shift from previous Gemma releases. Google has released Gemma 4, the
Isaiah Taylor was sixteen when he decided the nuclear industry had a size problem. Not that reactors were too dangerous or too expensive, though they are both, but that they were simply too big. The multi-gigawatt monuments to Cold War-era engineering that still dot the American landscape were desig
Six weeks was all it took. On 9 February, OpenAI switched on advertisements inside ChatGPT for free-tier users in the United States. By late March, the company disclosed that the pilot had crossed $100 million in annualised revenue, drawn more than 600 advertisers, and reached fewer than a fifth of
Somewhere in Hasbro’s network, someone was where they should not have been. The $14.4 billion toy and entertainment conglomerate, owner of Peppa Pig, Transformers, Monopoly, Dungeons & Dragons, Nerf, Play-Doh, and Power Rangers ,disclosed on Wednesday that it had identified unauthorised access to it
Mark Lanier, the folksy Texas litigator who doubles as a part-time pastor, held a jar of M&Ms in front of the Los Angeles jury and told them that each one represented a billion dollars of Meta’s market capitalisation. There were, by that maths, roughly 1,400 sweets in the jar. The jury awarded his c
Li Shufu, the billionaire chairman of Geely Holding Group and the man who bought Volvo Cars from Ford for $1.8 billion in 2010, has arrived at a conclusion that many of his peers in the global automotive industry have been slower to reach: the world has too many car factories, and building more of t
What is it worth to increase your chance of success? Or to reduce the chance of a costly failure? For most of modern history, we have not been able to answer those questions clearly. We have relied on averages: simple, clean, and often misleading. That is starting to change. A new class of tools, wh
Eighteen months ago, Legora was a Stockholm startup with a handful of law-firm clients and roughly $1 million in annual recurring revenue. On Tuesday, the company told Business Insider that it has crossed $100 million in ARR, a milestone that in enterprise software typically takes the better part of
SpaceX has confidentially filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sell shares to the public, according to multiple sources familiar with the registration, setting the stage for what would be the largest initial public offering in history and almost certainly making Elon Musk t
Karin Keller-Sutter, Switzerland’s finance minister and the country’s former president, has filed criminal charges for defamation and insult after Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok was prompted by an anonymous user to generate a torrent of sexist and vulgar remarks about her on X. The complaint, filed on
