AI Infrastructure

Berlin – September 15, 2026 -- Rokid unveiled AIUI Studio at IFA Berlin 2026, a browser-based development platform that lets users build AI applications for its smart glasses without writing code.

Rokid opens no-code AI development to its 35,000-strong developer base

The platform integrates the AIUI Skills Library framework and AIUI code assistance, allowing developers to dictate app concepts in plain language while the system generates functioning agents for Rokid AI Glasses. Built-in hardware simulation lets creators design and test applications without owning a physical device, while the platform actively reduces latency, memory usage and power consumption on Rokid's hardware.

Zurich – September 15, 2026 -- ABB and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have released a joint report concluding that 800-volt direct current (DC) distribution is emerging as the reference architecture for next-generation artificial intelligence data centers, as surging computing loads push conventional AC power infrastructure to its practical limits.

The report, titled "The Strategic Case for Hybrid AC/DC Power: Shaping the Transition to the Next Electrical Architecture," argues that decisions made by business leaders and policymakers over the next two to three years will determine which players shape the shift toward hybrid AC/DC grids and which merely inherit it.

Henderson – September 15, 2026 -- Research Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSSS) reported fiscal year 2026 net income of $2.8 million, more than double the $1.3 million posted in fiscal 2025, as its shift toward higher-margin Platform subscriptions offset a decline in transaction volume.

B2B annual recurring revenue climbs 14.1% to $16.2 million

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, total ARR reached $22.5 million, up 7.8% year-over-year, comprising $16.2 million of B2B recurring revenue and $6.3 million from B2C. The B2B segment added 105 net new platform deployments during the year, while AI-related ARR contributed $0.8 million.

Washington – September 15, 2026 -- Rural counties hosting AI data centers could pay every household between $4,500 and $8,900 a year without raising taxes or imposing new costs on developers, according to a report published by the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI).

Local Opposition Now Outpaces Energy Supply as the Top Barrier to Data Center Construction

The number of local data center moratoria enacted across the U.S. rose from six in 2024 to 294 in 2026, the report states. A March Gallup poll found 71% of Americans would oppose an AI data center in their area, compared with 53% who would oppose a nuclear power plant nearby.

Fremont, Calif. – September 15, 2026 -- DIMAAG-AI, Inc. and Toshiba International Corporation (TIC) have agreed to jointly develop energy storage systems for AI data centers, pairing Toshiba's SCiB lithium titanium oxide (LTO) battery cells with DIMAAG's ZettaWatt Power Platform.

Toshiba's SCiB cells bring a decade-long safety record to the partnership

Toshiba has shipped more than 100 million SCiB cells since 2010, and the batteries are engineered to sustain continuous 10C charge and discharge cycling over a targeted service life exceeding 10 years. Under the agreement, Toshiba will supply the high-power SCiB cells while DIMAAG designs, manufactures and integrates the battery system into its Zenius modules and ZettaWatt architecture.

Raleigh, N.C. – September 15, 2026 -- Nutrient has made its Data Extraction API generally available, targeting enterprises that need traceable, audit-ready structured data from PDFs, scans, images, and Office files to power AI agents and RAG systems.

Nutrient ties every extracted field to a bounding box and page reference

The extract endpoint maps documents to a customer-defined or auto-generated JSON Schema and returns each field with a page reference, source blocks, a confidence signal, and a grounding label. Fields marked "fuzzy_match" or "not_found" route automatically to human review, while high-confidence matches proceed directly into downstream workflows.

San Francisco – – September 15, 2026 -- Twenty-one venture capital firms will co-host the second annual Connected Stack Enterprise AI Summit on September 10, 2026, at The Presidio Theatre, with Anthropic Head of Americas Kate Jensen delivering the keynote address.

Anthropic executive to discuss agentic ROI measurement with True Ventures partner

Jensen, who leads Anthropic's enterprise sales and partnerships across the Americas, will join True Ventures Partner Mike Montano for a session titled "Real ROI: How the Agentic Enterprise Measures What Matters."

San Francisco – September 14, 2026 -- Dashverse's AI filmmaking agent Frameo scored 88.7 out of 100 in an independent human evaluation, finishing nearly 20 points ahead of the second-placed system among eight AI video agents tested.

Frameo beats Runway, Luma and Kling in 800-video evaluation

The benchmark, Arc v1.0 Movie, was published by Physion Labs and compared Frameo against Runway Agent 2.0, Luma Creative Agents, Kling Canvas Agent, Invideo Agent One and four other AI filmmaking agents. Evaluators reviewed 800 videos generated from 100 prompts, scoring each system across 16 metrics covering narrative coherence, cinematic language and production quality. Frameo ranked first on 13 of the 16 metrics, including all eight human-preference categories.

Dubai – September 12, 2026 -- Flytxt has won a Bronze Stevie Award in the "Best AI-driven Product" category at the 23rd Annual International Business Awards for its agentic AI platform Niya-X.

Niya-X moves beyond task automation to autonomous decision-making

Unlike AI co-pilots that assist humans or task-oriented agents that automate workflows, Niya-X deploys domain-specific "AI Experts" capable of understanding business goals, formulating strategies, making decisions, coordinating actions and learning continuously from outcomes. The platform relies on causal learning and counterfactual modeling to simulate and evaluate alternative market scenarios before selecting the course of action most likely to achieve a desired result, while operating within defined corporate governance and data-privacy constraints.

St. Louis – September 13, 2026 -- Island Roadhouse Data Centers has detailed design plans for an atomic-powered, low-water data center campus in Missouri offering up to 154 MW of sellable IT load in its first phase, targeting commercial operation in 2034.

Campus design generates its own power behind the meter using advanced atomic reactors

The facility is planned to run on advanced atomic reactors in an N+1 configuration for reactor-level redundancy, with heat converted to electricity via an indirect closed supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle. The campus is not designed to export power to the grid; all generation is intended to serve the on-site compute load directly.
