London – September 21, 2026 -- askelie has launched its Operational AI Platform, giving managed service providers (MSPs), software vendors and business users direct access to the AI capabilities previously reserved for its enterprise deployments.

Platform lets customers configure AI tools instead of building them from scratch

The Operational AI Platform allows organisations to combine existing, reusable askelie capabilities to create AI-powered Assistants and Automations tailored to specific business needs. Askelie says the approach cuts the time, cost and risk typically associated with building an AI foundation internally.

Shanghai – – September 20, 2026 -- Huawei unveiled a grid-interactive AI data center (AIDC) solution at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, targeting maximum tokens-per-watt output as AI workloads strain power grids worldwide.

Huawei ties compute and energy infrastructure directly to grid stability

Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power, opened the AIDC Facility Summit by outlining four design priorities: power acquisition, power quality, rack-level power and cooling, and faster engineering delivery. He stated that maximizing tokens per watt and minimizing cost per token will define the competitiveness of future compute factories.

Santa Clara, Calif. – September 20, 2026 -- Clivet debuted its next-generation magnetic levitation compressor and a full data center cooling portfolio at AI Infra Summit 2026, targeting thermal management gaps created by rising AI computing densities.

Dual-rotor compressor design targets variable AI workload conditions

The new compressor uses a DUO POWER BOOST dual-rotor variable-speed architecture with two-stage compression. Two rotors and their impellers adjust speed independently to adapt to different flow rates and pressure ratios, factoring in data center load variations, water temperature conditions, and system operating strategies into cooling source design.

Paris – September 20, 2026 -- A newly published book, "Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI," has become the test object for a comparative experiment feeding identical text to five major artificial intelligence systems: OpenAI/Astra, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Google Gemini and xAI/Grok. The French and English print editions are now available, but the project's core output is a public meta-reading exercise designed to expose how differently large language models interpret the same source material.

Five AI systems receive an identical corpus for independent analysis

Santa Clara – September 20, 2026 -- Dnotitia Inc. has received back the first ASIC samples of its Vector Data Processing Unit (VDPU) from fabrication, with chip-level characterization now underway and silicon-based server evaluations scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. The company disclosed the milestone at AI Infra Summit 2026, held Sept. 15-17 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, where it showcased a server-scale VDPU architecture built for vector retrieval workloads in retrieval-augmented generation and agentic AI systems.

San Antonio – September 20, 2026 -- Frost & Sullivan has named Lenovo a 2026 Global Technology Innovation Leader in AI-powered sports event technology, citing the company's role as FIFA's unified technology partner for the FIFA World Cup 2026TM.
