Singapore – – October 07, 2026 -- Shengshu Technology's Vidu has launched Q4 Preview, a public preview of its next-generation flagship AI video and audio generation model, with launch pricing starting at $0.014 per second.

Launch pricing cuts costs to expand flagship video generation to independent creators

Vidu Q4 Preview enables up to five times more output for the same budget compared to prior comparable output specifications and billing conditions, the company said. Output resolutions span 540p, 720p, 1080p, 2K and 4K, with 10-bit color depth available at the higher tiers.

Aspen, Colo. – – October 07, 2026 -- Structurely has rebranded as 21X and launched 21X SPORTS, a new revenue platform for collegiate, professional and minor league sports organizations, developed in partnership with GameAbove Sports and backed by parent company CapStone Holdings.

Rebrand builds on a platform shaped by more than 500 million customer conversations

The new 21X name consolidates more than a decade of Structurely's AI engagement work into an expanded product portfolio. Existing customers retain uninterrupted access to services, integrations and support under the new name. The platform uses AI across voice, SMS and email to manage initial customer interactions, identify intent and route qualified opportunities to human staff.

Prague – October 07, 2026 -- xFusion, a global provider of AI computing infrastructure, has joined the Linux Foundation as a Silver member, the company announced at Open Source Summit Europe.

xFusion enters SODA Foundation to shape AI infrastructure standards

As part of the membership, xFusion is participating in the SODA Foundation, the Linux Foundation community dedicated to data and AI infrastructure. The company plans to contribute technical expertise drawn from its computing systems and infrastructure efficiency work to open source projects focused on AI operations, observability and benchmarking.

London – October 06, 2026 -- The global Data Center Cables Market was valued at $10.65 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $27.29 billion by 2035, a 9.87% compound annual growth rate, as AI clusters more than double the cabling spend per megawatt compared with conventional facilities, according to a new study from DC Market Insights.

AI Data Halls Carry $1.07 Million in Cabling Per MW

An AI-oriented data hall carried about $1.07 million of cabling content per MW in 2025, versus approximately $0.43 million per MW for a conventional facility. AI facilities accounted for an estimated 35% of new capacity in 2025, a share projected to rise to 66% by 2035. Some AI rack configurations now require inter-rack connectivity exceeding 3,000 fibers, driving demand for smaller-diameter, higher-density fiber systems and pre-terminated assemblies that preserve airflow in dense environments.

Pittsburgh – October 06, 2026 -- NovoLINC's MaxLINC thermal interface material has sustained 400 W/cm2 uniform heat flux and 3,300 W of total power on a production-representative silicon test die carrying roughly 150 μm of warpage, keeping junction temperatures below 90°C throughout the test.

MaxLINC maintains sub-90°C junction temperatures despite 150 μm die warpage

The demonstration used a single-phase direct liquid cooling cold plate from CoolIT, an Ecolab Company. As AI packages grow larger and power-denser, even minor flatness deviations create uneven contact between semiconductor and cooling hardware, raising thermal resistance and risking localized hot spots. NovoLINC's nanostructured composite architecture is designed to preserve thermal contact despite such non-flat surfaces.

Houston – October 06, 2026 -- Works360 has launched PLAiPulseTM, a new experience intelligence technology that lets customers watch CPU, GPU and NPU activity in real time while evaluating AI PCs with their own applications and workflows.

Works360 rolls out PLAiPulse across evaluation programs for Intel and Qualcomm-based AI PCs

The initial deployment covers eligible systems powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series platforms, plus select Microsoft Surface evaluation programs distributed through Works360. The technology is also extending to select Intel-based AI PC evaluation programs in Australia and New Zealand.

San Jose, Calif. – – October 06, 2026 -- AEWIN Technologies, a unit of Qisda Group, will unveil a modular DC-MHS server lineup capable of supporting rack densities above 200kW using two-phase direct liquid cooling (2P DLC) technology from subsidiary Arivor at the OCP Global Summit 2026, running October 12–15 at Booth #D9.

New servers run AMD EPYC 9006 CPUs with PCIe Gen6 connectivity

The portfolio is built on AMD EPYC 9006 series server processors paired with PCIe Gen6 connectivity to address rising compute-density requirements in AI data centers. AEWIN positions the lineup to reduce power usage effectiveness (PUE) while extending hardware lifespan under sustained high-load conditions.

Newport Township, Pa. – October 06, 2026 -- Fit Energy has secured zoning approval to convert a former mining and quarry site in Newport Township, Luzerne County, into a fuel cell power generation and data center complex, with engineering and permitting now underway ahead of construction.

Township commissioners approved zoning for both uses in August 2026

The approval clears the way for Fit Energy to redevelop previously disturbed industrial land rather than greenfield forest or farmland. Natural gas fuel cells supplied by Connecticut-based FuelCell Energy, Inc. will generate on-site power under a strategic agreement with Fit Energy, producing electricity through an electrochemical process without combustion.

London – – October 06, 2026 -- Nscale Limited has appointed Amy Banse, a 30-year corporate governance veteran, to its Board of Directors, naming her Chair of the Compensation Committee.

Banse brings multi-board credentials from Adobe, Lennar and On Holding AG

Banse currently sits on the boards of Adobe, Lennar Corporation and On Holding AG, and previously served on the board of The Clorox Company. She has also held board seats at high-growth, pre-IPO firms including Nextdoor, Anchor and Quantifind.

Nscale CEO ties the hire to the company's scaling infrastructure ambitions

"As we scale, the quality of our governance matters as much as the quality of our infrastructure," said Josh Payne, Founder and CEO of Nscale. Payne said Banse's board experience arrives at a "pivotal moment" for the company.
